Anyone else have a future wager on Toronto?

I grabbed the Raptors to win the Eastern Conference @ 20-1 about a week and a half ago... I see they are now down to 8-1 now that the playoff seeding has been determined... I'm starting not to like my bet because the Nets over the Raptors seems to be the popular upset pick from all of the analysts... However, we all know how much BS that can be sometimes... I was just curious if anyone else has a bet on Toronto? I really think they will get by the Nets... If they play the Cavs in the 2nd round, I think they matchup well against them... If they can make it to the East Finals hopefully they will run into a tired Heat or Pistons squad! Who knows... Wish I would have grabbed this in the middle of their hot stretch instead of the end because I believe that they were 30 or 40-1 a few weeks back! Should be interesting to see if they can hang with the big boys, having little playoff experience on their team...

Where were they 20-1 a week ago?

Yeah P2M, I've been doing well with the Raptors all season. I took them to win the east at 20-1 and I see them the east finals losing to the Heat. If it does come to that, and there are no significant injuries, I plan to hedge the futures.

The Nets is a matchup to be worried about in the opening round, but I feel the Raptors will prevail there. If not, then so it goes. I just considered Toronto to be incredible value for going deep into the Eastern Conference.

Here's the punchline: If they should win the East, I think they could possibly continue to do damage versus the West as a Cinderella 'dog. If not beat a team from the West, at least burn them out in a full series.

I took them to win the east at 20-1 and I see them the east finals losing to the Heat.

Wow Checker, I actually have BOTH Toronto and Miami losing in the first round.

FYI, the Nets are the only upset I have in the first round. Chicago is not an upset based on the odds, and they do have home court advantage.

Good Luck Though Bud.

20-1 definitely value there... But do you really wanna see Toronto in the finals?

I would love to see the Raps in the finals. Very entertaining team.

Yeah, I'm crazy, I know LT . . . I'm just going more by feeling here than anything else. It's either going to work for me or backfire. If it's the latter, then so be it. (I don't actuallly have a wager on Miami, just a feeling that they might go deep).

Checker- Good to hear that I have someone else on board with me! I know that IMGV got them @ like 40-1 or somethin a WHILE BACK! I really think this team just won't even care about their lack of experience and just go out and play their tails off! I really think the Raptors have a definite chance of making the NBA Finals...

I really don't think the Heat have much of a chance this year... I think the Bulls have a very good shot at beating them... We shall see, but I just don't think they are very strong this year... We'll see, but I see the Bulls taking them 6 or 7 and if they get by them the Pistons will take them 6 or 7 and more than likely win...
