I disagree with you that the spread is way too funky actually the spread is just a tad inflated by 1 pt to be exact.
When you see that the magicians are winning by an avg. of 6 pts OTR and the mighty celts are winning by an avg. of 11 pts at home then the odds makers have set the spread pretty much where it should be. They set it where it should be based on stats because they want close to equal action on both sides and so I disagree with you a 2nd time about them wanting bettors to side with the mighty celts.
Getting back to the spread this is how you derive a spread, since the celts are winning by 11 at home and the magicians are winning by 6 on the road all you do is minus 6 from 11 you get 5 then you divide 5 by 2 and you get 2.5 and so they just inflated it by 1 pt at the opening and made it -3.5 favoring the mighty celts.
HUH???? I think you've had a little too much to drink Sir John Drake. I wish you were making the odds on every game with your theory
That is not a theory numb nuts that is how they derive the spread. Try it with another matchup and you'll see the spread being close to how I showed you numb nuts on how they derive it...lol
wtf?
