    You'd get them +600 in LA in Game 7 as opposed to +280 or so.

    Just a thought worth considering.

    I mean you can hedge a little bit but not really.

    I think they win game 6 but lose game 7 so this strategy kinda goes out the window.

      Well if +280 is the game 7 line wouldn't make much sense.

      Say you want to bet 1 unit on the series price at +600.

      You just bet 1 unit today at +100. If they win and you feel good about them winning game 7, you dump your winnings (2 units total) on them again at +280. You either end up with 7.6 units or 0, which is better than 7 units or 0 if you bet the series price. And another added positive is if you don't like them for game 7 you can just take your 2 units and go home happy.

      Now if the game 7 line is +250 or under, different story...

      But either way bypassing the maths of it all, I have the Clips winning this series in 7...

        Yeah, I posted this a few min. ago too.
        If they win tonight, can hedge by playing Clips ML in Game 7 and still cash nicely.
        Golden State (series win)
        $10 to win $60

        Clips ML (Gm 7)
        $24 to win $10

        A win for G. State in Game 7 would be about a +360 payout, and a loss you break even.

          I agree Seto I think they win in Game 7.

            This makes sense. I think both ways would pay out about equal. Maybe best option is G State ML tonight and then take the points in Game 7.

                It's happened each of the last two years and I've said from the beginning that LAC would win this series. Try again jackass.
