    There is probably going to be value on the Celtics whatever it comes out as though. 76ers are not great at home... Bulls almost beat them in all 3 games in Philly and that was with half a roster.

    Bulls played with injuries all year they were used to it. Too much stock put into that. Sixers win both home games.

    Too much stock put into it? The late game mistakes of Asik/Watson cost them at least 1 game (game 6) and probably game 3 as well.

    They wouldn't be in the game if Rose/Noah aren't hurt, so it obviously mattered.

    I have to admit I am a little worried. The Celtics just put up 13 and 11 in back to back quarters. I have a lot of money on the Celtics in the series, but man do I respect Doug Collins. What a coach.

    I guess it's time to change my prediction from Celtics in 5 to Celtics in 7.

    There is NO VALUE on the Celtics because they LOSE this series in "6". Then will find out who knows something about basketball, PickWinnerAllDay.
    Here's the Celtics next opponent >>>>

    Just like that we are back in it Brahma. The Celtics have been a cash cow for me so far in these playoffs, I have a hunch it will continue in this series. Great pick by you so far.

    "bad" line is semantics, at the time -340 (not 350) was a decent line. If it wins it still collects. But with a 1-0 lead and the far superior team -340 is a good number. But the NBA series are about timing, when to take teams and predicting how wins come, it was the precursor to in game live betting as you would have to decide to take a team for the series or in game one or hope they lost and got better odds for the series after that.

    Obviously when Boston lost game 2 their odds tanked, but so did their real chances to win (theoretically) you have a team up 1-0 and a -250 favorite at home in game 2. Their odds (gambling odds) should have been higher than -350 actually, probably closer to -400/425. Especially considering they were only +110 (opening ML) or so in game 3 on the road.

    But as with all these discussions it is always plain to see who knows what theyre talking about and who doesnt understand anything about implied pay offs or expected pay offs. Sure he paid 'too much' but that only came about by a situational result, not the facts known at the time. With the KNOWN factors at the time -350 was a good play, but it still wasnt the 'best' number so it couldnt be considered a 'great' play.

    For example, I suppose people would think guys who bet Miami up 1-0 and -1100 or so made a 'dumb' play because now Miami is -275? Talk about a massive swing. Celts only lost about half their price, Miami price completely got crushed, it was as high as -1250 at one point. There are still 3 days til that game so who knows how much more the odds change by then.

    But in the grand scheme -350 up 1-0 and a -250 fav in the second game are actually better pay off odds than being tied 1-1 and a +110 dog on the road in game 3 and -150 to win the series.

    1 more win Brahma. I am tempted to hedge out a portion of my -230 bet with Sixers +450. Very tough call considering how inconsistent each team is. I probably won't, but it's nice to have the option.

    god you guys are incompetent. he took boston to win the series before an obvious letdown game, when he woulda had a better price before game 1 or after game 2. if you smoke and dont get cancer, doesnt make it smart. hes gona get away with it this time barring an injury.

    it doesn't matter, this bet will be a winner no matter what



    I actually bet more money on this after both the game 2 loss and game 4 loss, Boston is the better team with a lot more experience. Pure upsets like this in the NBA are very rare

    Does the series end tomorrow or do the sixers force a game 7?

    Put in a decent size bet for game 6 and then double up for game 7 if Celtics lose


    the odds of a veteran team like the Celtics with their record in game 7s losing a game 7 at home to a young team like Philly is nearly non existent

    Pierce is playing on one leg. Allen can barely run. Avery Bradley can't even play. Sixers are 100% healthy. Very scary game 7 for Boston. I could see it going either way.
