SourceTHUNDER dOWNUNDER bounced back

SourceRankings underline the market gap

SourcePick Ideas
Pass on the expensive favorite moneyline
FlyQuest at -2500 implies a break-even win rate of about 96.2% before accounting for sportsbook margin, so the payout is difficult to justify as a standalone bet. Consider passing rather than paying that price.
Treat the home side as a true long shot
THUNDER dOWNUNDER at +800 requires an estimated win probability above roughly 11.1% to break even before vig. Only consider a small speculative wager if your own assessment clears that threshold; the plus price alone is not evidence of value.
