LVSC sends out ORL -6.5 game II

LVSC sends out ORL -6.5 game II Maybe I'm being a bit critical here, but I think I could have asked 100 'sharp' guys and they all would have said the right answer was 7.5 or 7, with the 7.5 being by far the more common. I don't understand how they could have sent 6.5, such a clearly 'wrong' number, even if only wrong by a point, simply because IMO game II was such an easy number to make.

Unless he is saying the number was sent out small to get extra action, meaning Boston +7 would be a better play.

i'm seeing 7 1/2 now

7.5 is the 'right' number I cannot understand how LVSC could get this wrong.....a very easy number to make. Game 1 closes ORL -7. Orl loses gameI, so make game 2 -7.5. What else could you possibly make this?

none of the lines they have sent out for any of the playoff games have been close at all..they must have some chart they use and stick to no matter what they see happening on tv

to be honest - there was no thinking at all - just bad judgement - very easy number to make -right after first game - they could have easily sent out -7' or even -8 for that matter - the name of the game is to get as close to the closer as possible.

You know it's a mystery to me why people don't say what they friggin mean. Everybody seems to feel the need to pussy foot around what the heck it is they are inferring. I've read all these posts and still wonder if Fezzik or anyone else is saying that Orlando at 6 1/2 is a good number. I guess that's what's being said, but why can't people just be friggin clear. After Fezzik posted his first post the very next person said in effect - what are you saying? The 2nd post was made because the person wasn't sure what the heck Fezzik meant. Everybody tries to be so cute too often it ends up being a guessing game EXACTLY what it is being are saying.
