Series Price: Boston vs. Pittsburgh

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

DSI has it at Boston -330

That's free money if Boston wins tonight, or even 1 of 2 at home

[yes, I'm aware that the Bruins recently blew a 3-0 series lead to Philly
a couple of years back, but IMO that choking loss spurred them on to
bigger and better things, including winning the CUP the year after that
loss]

thoughts?

[tombuckers]

And pretty much blew 3-1 to Leafs in first round too.

probably why the price is so low...

for comparison, the series price for the Blackhawks was -600 before last night's game,
and unlike the Bruins, they were going out on the road for 2 games, not coming home.

[goduke]

its because the bruins are not winning the series, take the pens and make some real money

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

up to -350

Got it at -275 at 5Dimes yesterday, they have it at -320 now which I think still has some value.

I think the difference has to do with how good Blackhawks have been and the perception of Pitts potential, but also has something to do with history. Here are the numbers for teams up 2-0 going on the road vs. home.

Series record
Away in game 3 (Hawks) 218-25 (.897)
Home in game 3 (Bruins) 61-18 (.772)

I was looking at Bruins series at -320 on Pinny earlier and it makes a lot of sense. Pretty good value considering they're up 2-0 and have home ice. They just need to split at home basically and they should have it.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

booked it 3.5u to win 1u
watch the pens roll off 3 straight now...

Yep but I would be concerned if the Pens wake up. I foresee the books making a lot of money on that play.

yeah, no

[matt1216]

Pittsburg cant win simply because rask is wayyy better than vokun or fleury. Boston is also man handling pitt. Just a bad matchup. Free money imo. Boston will close this in 4

[PuckIt]

Yep Rask is so good with his posts

[polishkielbasa10]

If I watched the game, I would have seen Boston ALSO hitting several posts...Hey DOUCHE Puckit...when your goalie is in proper position, the Offense HITS THE POST..it's called good goaltending PITTSBURG LOSER
I've got as many Points as Princess Crosby and Malkin

Need a diaper change?

Ya Douche...I'm not the one Crying like a Crosby...
And Hows Owen even doing in this Series???

[odog11]

Here are your current odds on 5Dimes, +860 not even worth the hedge for Bruins backers IMO.
Boston Bruins (Series) -1310 Pittsburgh Penguins (Series) +860

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

I probably wouldn't touch it even if it were +1860
