Do you really want to wait until June for a +100 bet?

Yes

Sounds like easy money to me. Championship team who are playing even better than they were last year. Already 4 wins up on the spurs. Money is money, even in June

You do realize that this prop is not for the reg. season ? The number of wins in reg. season does not matter. That being said, this prop does look pretty tempting. Barring a significant injury, I do not see how GSW can lose a 4-game series with a homecourt advantage.

The answer to your question is in your avatar.

spurs/clippers/rockets vs. cavs - good luck with this square bet and dont say ya werent warned - cavs win the east at -260 is the only lock it up cant lose future thus the price

+550 at the beginning of the season. At +100 you might as well wait and see in June. You're buying very high imo.

+500 was to win the whole thing, not just the West.

The Spurs are the ANTI-Warriors. They don't care about regular season. They are a big team. They allow fewest points in NBA. So...in 7 games? Mark your calendar for Jan 25th.

Yes, but as the regular season moves on, the odds changes.

Spurs lost again yesterday (thank you raptors) and the warriors are still undefeated. The odds for this bet is now down to -110.

When playoff time comes, I will most likely be able to cash out for profit if I'm not confident at that point

I think you're way off base here. It's quite the opposute - you're taking this bet at the worst possible time, ie when everything is going well for Golden State.

Just last year Golden State looked like the most dominant team all year until the Spurs got hot late, and just before the playoffs many books actually had the Spurs as a fave to win the West (or at least with very similar odds to Golden State) despite the fact that they were the 6 seed. That could very well happen again this year. Or say OKC gets hot late and start looking like world beaters.

The time to get in on a future is either before everyone catches up to a team or when everyone has given up on them. That's when you get the best odds.

Obviously if Golden State go 73-9 or whatever then yes, you probably won't see better odds on this. But I doubt that will happen. This isn't an exact science obviously but I'd be willing to bet you this bet will be available at something better than +100 come mid April.

Spurs will win the West.

RyleeCashflow · 12-10-15, 02:42 PM

EVERY year people overlook the Spurs fly under the radar and punch everyone in the gut towards the end of the season into the OFFS.

Eh maybe I'm biased here because I have the Spurs winning the west +265

Bill Dozer · 12-11-15, 08:01 AM

All new teams take time to gel. The Spurs are very different with Aldridge. By the third act, if Timmy got another run in him, they should be dangers. Nice odds on +265. You get the better line but have to cross fingers on the injury bug.
