Anyone following the trend of upset today ? Clearly so many match favorites lost their games today starting from the
New Orleans Pelicans with ~ 3.04 odds winning against the Lakers score: 128 - 115 = 13
Miami Heat defeated by Detroit Pistons ~ 2.46 Odds score: 96 -119 = -23
Chicago Bulls defeated Boston Celtics @ ~ 5.30 Odds score: 126 - 116 = 10
Okhlahoma City Thunder lost to Sacremento Kings @ ~ 3.04 Odds score: 116 - 119 = - 3
Golden State Warriors lost to Houston Rockets @ 6.85 score: 112 - 118 = -6
What caught my attention was that I found a lot of odds for the favorites of today games to quite absurdly low, So, I did went in with the Rockets against GSW, after seeing how GSW struggled against the Kings in their last game where GSW won by a difference of 2 points. The line for this game as of when I wanted to place the bet was a,t I think, 16 or thereabout I'm not too sure but it was definitely greater than 13.5
I found Rockets +10 @ 1.78 to be a steal, so I went in pretty hard on that one, I also had the Rockets to win ML @ ~ 6.85 and here we are, indeed the Rockets just won the game with a 6 points difference 112 - 118.
Could there be an odd explanation to these teams losing with an average of 11 points, or It is all just coincidental ? I hope it's the latter, really.
Not really because it seems on any given day one of the favorites or most of them can lose their games even playing on home court.
I had atlanta to win and they did against the suns which was no surprise and also had the pacers to beat the wizards on their home court which was not a surprise either.
I think you just need to know which team to pick in which match up to come away with solid wins.
Just like the OP in this thread tends to have. But we all have bad days some times.
Congrats on your win which takes a brave man to do it against the warriors.
But the rockets did win all four of their meetings this season which was a surprise to me to hear that stat at the end of the game.
Houston does have their ticket and if they meet in the playoffs it might be a match up to behold as they can be beat up by this team. Even without their star player Harden tonight.
That's intrigues me, the odds seems to be fair for handicapped knowing that Harden will not be able to play, but this win against the Warriors
in front of their own fans again, that really ridiculous, but by watching, it's all about how chris paul design the game and make every
ways to dominate the entire game.
Like what you have said, we do have bad moments, we just need to keep moving forward and move on..
