[QUOTE=joelshitshow;41953]In the playoffs the Mavs are 2-16 SU, 4-14 ATS when Crawford is the official, per ESPN.[/QUOTE] Interesting, good stuff... unfortunately if it's hitting ESPN than much of the value or inside angle of the situation is probably lost.

Or this was sent to espn so that its publicized for someones benefit of getting better number on other side...

do you have a link to this on espn? I didn't know ESPN was providing daily gambling trends, when did this start?

game 1 line...Dallas -5. Dallas wins by 8 due to huge comeback game 2 line...Dallas -3.5 an interesting game 2 line. Portland getting respect for leading most of the game? Zig-Zag? ESPN? The fact that everyone claimed Dallas was the most vulnerable to losing the series (even though they were the only chalk to cover)?

It's amusing the society we live in. It's OK for ESPN to talk about lines and gambling, but illegal to bet outside Vegas, and no online poker neither! A joke

Discussed ad nauseum in Dallas all day. Some are saying it could benefit Mavs as the spotlight will be on him.
