    Nevermind, maybe it's not mathematically +EV. Given what I've capped though, it's +EV IMO.

    So would a series bet on HOU be a "value" bet?

      Yeah, shit I think I miscalculated something along the way. Still +EV given what I capped for the remaining games. I give Houston about a 9% chance.

        Hey Jason:

        Try to break the problem into 2 pieces :

        Part 1 : Houston wins the next 2
        Part 2 : Houston wins 2 of 3

        I would be happy to work on this with you for fun if you'd like.
        I said 20:1 yesterday but I see 15:1 on 5Dimes right now. Pinny doesn't have a price yet.

          5 dimes has it at +1750 on reduced juice. I went back over it and at +1750 you need the Rockets to have about a 5.5% chance? So my original post, that I removed, was actually correct. I just confused myself there for a second. Historically teams have come back from this like 6.1% of the time. I would give them better odds than that. So definitely +EV if you can get the reduced juice.

          I mean if you win 55 out of 1,000 you've got $96,250 in winnings and $94,500 in losses for +$1,750. So I'm definitely on this.

            Well how do you like that ! If +1750 is reduced juice( a little juice ), that means the 20:1 we talked about yesterday must be
            in the " fair bet " ballpark for long term expectation. Good luck!
