This is difficult. By chance, Washington has a further road game (D Bet) after tonight. The Lakers series is only constrained by the amount of money a bettor wants to risk, so they can both go beyond the normal limits. So, there are 3 choices:
1. Pass on both bets and play their next games as the next bets in their series. This means that 1 of the teams will be playing an unnecessary bet, but at the usual stake.
2. Play both games and take the loser to an additional bet, but at an increased stake. If the Lakers lose, it will be a regular D Bet for those of us who got a push, so not an unacceptable position.
Option 1 has no guarantee of a win. Option 2 guarantees at least 1 winner, but there is the possibility of a huge loss with the loser of tonight's bet.
3. Pass on both, do not proceed and accept the accrued losses on both teams.
An additional, "off-piste" solution would be to play Washington on the ML and LA on the spread. A 9 point spread is a large enough tolerance to achieve a win for both sides....
GL guys, whatever you choose.
