What does the -8.5 mean please?
It's just a simple handicap line. Warriors start the game with 8.5 pts deficit and in order for stadus'
Pick : GSW -8.5 to be winning, Warriors have to beat Rockets by at least 9 points.
Thought so, but wasn't sure.
Can you also explain the money line to me?
Moneyline is when you bet on a team to win straight up (SU), it's the term in sports betting, you'll get acquainted to it as you go on with your journey.
For example, in the game tonight between the warriors and the Rockets, their odds when betting on moneyline is 1.25 and 3.95 respectively.
Which means, if you bet on the warriors and they won, you will only win 25% of your bet as they are the heavy favorite, on the other hand, if you put your bet on the Rockets and they won, you will win 295% of your bet, which will give you a very good return.
After the latest game between Milwaukee and Detroit, I have started to believe that Bucks will be the winner of their region and why not going to the NBA finals. I thought that their great performance won't last long and it will stop at the beginning of this year, However, they still continue to perform great. Do you believe that it is worth betting for them to reach the finals?
Detroit is a shitty team right now, only Griffin is constantly scoring, but I believe the Bucks has a shot to be in the Finals or even take the championship. They are the warriors destroyer, so if they'll meet in the NBA Finals, they have a decent chance, although they are still an undergo on the series.
