    Shaving off such an amount of points for such odds rarely if ever works, even if they ended up winning by 6 to miss the cover by a couple for your bet.

    If I'm not mistaken, and referencing my record from the day, Washington were +3.5 on the road and straight up were 2/1. It's not hindsight, but if you really fancy a dog winning on the road, just take the moneyline would be my advice. At a push I'd consider -2.5 on the alt line because of free throws at the end of the games if it's close, though in saying that I've been mushed in the past on this too. 2/1 for the win was plenty value that night though.

    Washington were surely much bigger than 7/2 to win by 8 or more? Considering the line was +3.5. Is it possible the Op had the price inverted? it would have been about 2/7 for Washington +7.5points.

    I was thinking about that myself as I read his post, tbh. The alternate spread he got had me puzzled considering what I had was the opening line +3.5 / +4.0 @ 10/11 with the ML @ 2/1 as I eluded to above. After Tweeting my bets earlier that day, I do remember checking the closing lines just before tip off like I usually do and I'm 90% certain Wizards ML were down as low as 6/4 generally, so it's plausible he got poor value as he bet late in the day. I honestly cannot remember the closing spread though, but factoring in they were 6/4 to win, I imagine the standard line was +1.5 / 2.0 depending on the book.

    edit - just to say, I'm not saying Ribena is BS'ing btw.

    I would also like to point that out that I am not saying Ribena was BS'ing just the numbers dont make that much sense. I am a Wizards fan so I was watching the game and was on the Wizards moneyline at 19/10

    You'd have enjoyed reading the NBA threads this season if you've been following then :D

    Havent been following them to be honest but I'm sure the Wizards were slated as usual!

    Tough loss last night, could and probably should have won the game. Hibbert re-emerging from the depths of wherever the hell he was is bad news for the Wizards. But overall this season has been a success. Any further progress is just a bonus! :D

    We have a Pacer fan who has a serious and frankly bizarre hatred of the Wizards and in particular, one John Wall, who unfortunately had a bad game last night. Done my best to hold the fort down since I've been riding with the Wizards for the past 16 months or so, they've been money $$$$$$. Wiz should be grand going forward, just got a bit trigger happy towards the end last night, and hey, at least they covered the spread. Thankfully Nene is okay (just a sprain) which is massively important, when he went down, I thought he did his left knee again initially.

    Yeah he is a huge part of the puzzle for the Wiz. Wall is terrific to watch and has proven time and again to be the go to guy in games. With Beal coming alive in the playoffs its been really fun to be a Wizards fan this last year but the preceeding years have been really F***ing tough! Pacers fans are all nuts!! Indiana is a basketball state and they dont come much nuttier!

    Do all books void bets when one of the pitchers doesn't start or does it vary from one to another?

    Never mind,I didn't realise you could choose whether to have pitchers or not.

    I don't like Indiana winning on the road in Boston at all. Hawks Hornets will be very close as well.
