Jazz wins over under

I won't believe it is possible for the Jazz to lose a game until it actually happens, and even then, I'll need further evidence. . .

For those who bet: What number would make you not want to bet on the over? What number would make you want to bet on the under?

If they set it at 47.5, would you bet the over?

If they set it at 50.5, would you be the under?

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

you guys know u are doing it wrong right.

vegas ods have a .5

What's your point sometimes Vegas odds use the .5 and sometimes they don't.
I think we all know that. (A couple of us have even mentioned Vegas putting the over under at 40.5)

Damn bro. Throwing 500 dollars at this bet is going to cripple finances until the payout comes.

I wish I was high Rollin to the point I could drop 5000 on a jazz bet

Just do a little. It takes a long many days to get you money and I don't want you to suffer. I make this bet last year and I can win but so long before you. Make it and it's not even money so remember this ok?

Sounds like an adrenaline rush, but I'm sure glad you're not my investment adviser. I'm very optimistic about the Jazz, but there is way too much out of my control to be comfortable with a bet like that.

I think most on here are being optimistic (as we usually are as fans). Much of the West got better, and there are not many teams that you would argue got worse. Spurs, Clippers, Pelicans, Wolves, Lakers, Houston and Thunder all theoretically should be better next season. I think the Vegas line for us will be .500, but my opinion is that we'll win 44-45 games and get the 8th seed.

So the west got better but less wins makes the playoffs?

What bets usually made do you have control over?

You don't really have control over stocks (unless you run the company and even then your employees could do something to kill the value of your stocks) and bonds or what cards you get playing poker/blackjack.

That's why is gambling.... Due to the risk.

If Vegas has the jazz at 40.5 wins then that is a really good gamble imo. Easy money.

Ask Pete Rose about bets you have control over.

As for me, most of my investment money is in real estate. There is a pretty good track record that over time the value will rise. True, it's not likely to double in less than a year as the bet in question might, but it's not going to lose all of its value in an instant, either.

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

I'm not a gambler, but this rule doesn't make much sense to me. You think it's a better idea to place your money on teams you don't know as well?

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