Cavs at -3.5????
I am new to the site and relatively new to sports betting but have been success so far. My book has Cleveland on Thursday in Chicago at -3.5 so for -145 I can get the CAVS to win by a bucket. Is this an error does anyone think the Bulls can pull a win here just because of homecourt advantage? I havent seen anything to lead me to believe they have a chance in hell but before I bet my kids college fund on the Cavs at -1.5 correct me if Im wrong.

Thanks

First off Welcome to the Mall, Loonz!! This line stinks and I would tread carefully here. I will also be in attendance on Thursday and I think this will be the only game the Bulls steal. GL!

thats a pyth line, the -1, based on off and def efficiency and home court

the pyth line was about 11 for games at clev, that lined up with the books

but I can see the -3.5 being right on, the way they are matching up

its not surprising, and I wouldnt expect anything higher

It is surprising Rome, these guys looked like High School kids against the Cavs.....Lost by double digits in both games and now you make them only 3 pt dogs? C'mon

Everyone is going to pound Chicago!?!? Earl, virtually all early money is on the Cavs on the spread and moneyline. What in the world would make you think that the betting public would go against "King James" here?
