ESPN Bet Sets Jazz O/U at 28.5

Ya you said the Lauri trade is baked in. If that is the case then obviously betters would be betting that the jazz would be worse than with Lauri which would cause the line to go down.

I'm saying the possibility of the Lauri trade is baked in. Yall can be so dense sometimes it's unbelievable.

Because guess waht the biggest trade rumor of the past week has been?

The Lauri Markkanen trades rumors. If you are going to place a bet on the Utah Jazz, you are considering what is going to happen with Lauri given the fact that August 6th is a pivotal date in which the landscape of the league will gain some sort of clarity.

How can my first paragraph be incorrect when all I saw was the facts of the situation?

You said there is a massive infection point in 12 days that will change the line.

I think that is incorrect. I think the line will remain the same or barely move at all.

And how would that possibility affect the line?

I'm done Fish. I give up.

You don't gamble do you? They set the line at what they believe is the correct win total and make adjustments as the money comes in on one side of the line or the other. They don't base that line on if a future trade may happen or not.

Brother, sit this one out. That is not how win totals work at all.

They make it lower to account for that possibility happening.

 

[fishonjazz]

If the possibility of Lauri being traded had a decent size affect on the line and the betting, then once that possibility is eliminated there should be another decent size affect on the line and the betting.

We should be able to compare the line that was made when there was a possibility of Lauri being traded to the line that will be made once that possibility no longer exists and we should notice a decent difference between the two lines.

Exactly my point. So if this is true then we should see it go up when the possibility of Lauri being traded no longer exists.
Easy peasy

There will be if he’s not traded. It would likely go up to around 31.5.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Like if Lauri is traded do people think it wouldn’t go lower?

It’s in the middle to account for both sides.

Yep.
I dont think that happens.

If I am betting on something then I bet on the more likely thing because I want to win. Why would I bet on something that is unlikely to happen and is a total hypothetical and I didn't even know what the trade would look like?

I think the bets being made on the jazz season win total are being made by people betting with Lauri on the jazz and not the warriors

Also, the warriors total should be too high if folks are betting on their win total with Lauri on their roster so everyone should definitely bet the under on the warriors and over on the jazz. After all, what is the tone watch again (pretty low iirc)

.

100% yes! Because that would mean his isn't on the jazz anymore.
But I don't think it would be lower because he is on the jazz. Like he currently is.
