BetOnline Rooting for the Thunder and the Under

The betting public is thrilled to have the NBA back, and it showed Saturday with heavy one-sided volume coming in on the Houston Rockets and the OVER 228.5.

BetOnline would be taking a hit on both the Rockets -5 spread and money line (-210).

But the real exposure was coming in the Over it appeared.

Books across the board witnessed lopsided public action on the spread from 65% to 70%.  The line actually opened Houston -2 when this one was originally supposed to be played on Wednesday.  Books were desperately trying to get action on OKC.
