Question about futures

I would take the 80-1 to win it all because that one offers better hedging possibilities.

My thoughts exactly LT

Let's say the Raptors win the East. If you take 80-1 that's like saying if they win the East, they will be better than +220 against whomever they play from the West in the finals. If they play Dallas, Phoenix, or even San Antonio they will probably be closer to +300, no?

Anyway, they are both available at Ladbrokes if you are interested...

+2500 is MUCH better

I agree. If they win the East, take the 25-1 and let it ride on the finals. It would work out to at least 100-1 if they play Phx, Dal, or SA.
