Jazz wins over under

DutchJazzer said:
with the over and unde ryou should not bet if you think they win 48 games.
when should you bet ove runder.
for example last year depending on bookie it was 20.5, 21.5 and 22.5(if im not mistaken)

all of us knew jazz would win 32+ so you got 8-11 gaames orso margin of error

yeah, that was the point of the question. How confident is everyone that we will actually be a playoff team.

When you bet on your home teams you aren't betting objectively. How many fans of other teams would take their over bet?

This.
I know allot about the jazz and also possess the ability to be objective about them when gambling

Everybody who took the over bet on the Jazz last year won money, but your logic says it was a bad bet for those who were Jazz fans? Makes no sense.

It worked out last year, but what about others? Think back to '04/'05, I bet our over under was around 40. Everyone on here would've been like "EASY MONEY! We already won 40 games last year and we added Boozer and Memo!"

I get your argument. I don't bet on teams I'm emotionally invested in because I have a hard time eliminating the emotion. Some people can do it though. And a bet is never a sure thing. Even the over/under this year is not a sure thing.
 
I'm guilty of it last year as well. I saw 26 wins or whatever it was at and thought it seemed so damn low and looked like a good bet, but I've thought that plenty of seasons with the Jazz and plenty of times they didn't hit their over/under
 
Right now, the Jazz need to shoot for 42 wins, while having all the young players show significant improvement and learn to play as s cohesive unit. Anything above a winning record right now is gravy and would have put them in the playoff hunt at the end of the season. That's really all we can ask for with such a young team. I'd rather have Rudy, DFave, Lyles, Hayward, Jingles, Hood, Burks, Exum and Burke willing to take chances on expanding their offensive game while still learning how to play great team defense, than have them worry about wins and losses. That's Snyder's job.
 
Some people seem to think that it is Vegas's job to accurately predict the record. It's not. Their job is to pick a number where they divide the bets in half. The Jazz are a unique situation in that they are small market with a fan base that is probably less inclined to wager. In order to entice bettors, thy would probably need to move the post toward the surer bet. It is probable that betting on the Jazz, while not a sure thing, is better than a 50/50 proposition.

For this squad to win only 42 games is not significant improvement it is treading water. This team needs to shoot for a 50+ win season.

Last season was an anomaly and I think they need to look at how they played post all star as a measuring stick for what this team needs to do this year. Post all star the Jazz had the best D by a wide marginand the 7th best record.

42 is treading water at beast and only 4 more wins.
