Portland Trail Blazers @ Chicago Bulls (Game Discussion)
A couple questions...

Does anyone have the consensus on today's game ? Both ATS & ML

Did the books out smart(trap) Chicago bettors by setting the line so low ?



I was a fool today, I thought I could out smart the books because I thought they were setting a trap by having the line so low.

I took the Bulls +2.5, thinking the line should have been closer to -6.5 since the last time these two played Portland won by 42.

This opened at -2 and went as high as -3.5 indicating a opening surge in $$$$ on the Blazers, but this changed as people began piling on the Bulls. By the tip, it was back down to -2 +105. If I hadn't looked at the line movement, I might have taken the home dog, but the fact the Bulls lick made me study this for awhile. Ending up being my largest play of the night.

Bulls have taken over the title of JOKE OF CHICAGO from the Blackhawks. Cant believe they still sell that stadium out nite after nite. What a bunch of morons here in Chicago. Can't they do something better with their money than support this selfish bunch of misfits? Derrick Rose is all they have.

My intentions on making this thread was to discuss the line on the game, not really to bash on how bad of a team the Bulls are.

Well let's move on from this and figure out a couple winners today. Any thoughts ?
