Sounds good in theory but that's not how gambling works

Eventually bookmakers will jack the spreads up to the point where the Warriors simply won't cover every night. Bookmakers will adjust.

This plus even if you ML the Warriors every night, you would probably be paying 500 dollars just to make 1

I want to talk more about Jimmys defense, but with what Kawhi is doing, Im gonna chill on any talk

Jimmy has been a force on defense though :dame:

Spoken like somebody who nevet caught on to GS killing ATS last year especially at home and U talking to somebody who has bet on GS and watched them routinely cover double digit pt spreads dating back to last year ..their spreads would be jacked up last year. 16 ,17 pt spreads. I'd take em and they'd cover with ease.

I'm not saying this theory will hold up all year this season

But it was a cash cow last season similar to orioles in 2014

Tyson Chandler has been good for the Suns so far. He already has chemistry with Bledsoe and Knight. Defending the paint, rebounding well, good screens, vocal leader. His 4 year contract won't be so bad if the Suns can keep him healthy.

I was there...The Warriors were 67-15 but against the spread they were 47-34-1 Now that's profitable long term if you bet every game but it won't stay like that (especially after last night). Atlanta was actually more profitable last year at 50-30-2 because they snuck up on people.

There's so many great perimeter defenders in the league at the moment. Probably the most we've had in recent memory. If I owned a team, I'd have an all defensive team just for the fukkery:

Butler
MKG
Kawhi
Draymond/AD
Gobert

Team would probably only score around 80 points a game, but they'd keep teams under 65. :lolbron:

I just said I'm not saying it will be as profitable this year but if you're not considering them every night they play until further notice you tweaking. They lost like two home games last year. I imagine their record ATS at home was awesome. They would go on streaks where they'd cover every game home/away

Only reason those numbers werent even bettet was They had a span eithet before or after all star break when they quit covering
