ESPN Bet Sets Jazz O/U at 28.5

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I know that but it's based on the current roster. They are trying to get equal pay on both sides of the line. Cy is saying that they are hedging the wins lower because of a possible Lauri trade and if not it would be higher and that is definitely not the case.

Yes, the line is lower because of the potential of a Lauri trade (and any other tanking trade since people are speculating the Jazz will tank). It's common sense. Dont pull a Kqwin and argue against things that are obvious just because you want to be a petulant child.

Nope. Just give it up.

Everyone in this thread agrees with me bud. You know, people who have brains capable of critical thinking.

I’d go under. I think. Young guys should get more playing time than last season. And there is a decent likelihood that Lauri or Sexton are traded.

Or get shut down like last year for Markkanen

Let’s overachieve this bitch let’s shave 8 wins off that. We can do it!!!

Just think through what you said.

How do they get equal pay on both sides of the line? By putting the line in the middle of where they think people believe the Jazz will finish. A lot of people think the Jazz will trade Lauri. Follow that to the logical conclusion.

No, people will take large amounts of money and make a decision based on the roster and the rest of the NBA being completely static!

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.

God damn you are trying so hard to be ignorant it's impressive.

It's a shame you aren't capable of critical thinking. Since you are so confident that this number has a possible Lauri trade baked in what do you think the over under should be with Lauri?

So let's say you have 10,000 dollars to your name and you have to use that 10,000 dollars on bets. Would you really not factor in all possibilities (and the probabilities of those possibilities) and just make your bet based off the current static landscape of the NBA? Only stupid people would do that when making a futures bet. Are you stupid?

If Woj suddenly came out and said that the Jazz acquiring Lebron James is now a realistic possibility and could happen within the next two weeks, would that not affect the betting lines for their win total?

I understand you just want to argue because it's me, but use your brain when everyone here is telling you that you're wrong.

Side Note: It's reaffirming when someone you argued with on other topics proves themselves to be utter morons when talking about another topic.

I guess this would be true in a world where 100% of people placing bets are also basing it entirely on the current roster without any regard to the possibility of Lauri being traded.

But we obviously don't live in that world, and the people setting the line know this.
