    NBA Futures..

    The Mavs are bet 10 to win 30 to win it all. So are the Suns.

    Assuming you lay down 100 on each of them...

    Suns 100 to win 300
    Mavs 100 to win 300

    And either hits, you end up with 400. -100 for each bet, thats 200 dollar profit.

    Essentially you are getting +200 odds that the Mavs OR Suns win. Why NOT unload on this?

    Toss in the Spurs at +325, and you've got yourself

    Spurs, Mavs, OR Suns at virtually +100 (slightly better if Spurs hit)

    Anyone play this? Seems much more predictable than NFL, MLB, or NHL.

    I took both Dallas and Suns when they were + 500

    1.000 $ and each of them . +3000 $ profit if one of them wins .

    King,

    Your math is off, you are only getting EVEN MONEY if the Mavs or Suns win. You are investing a total of 200 and your return would be 400 if either wins for a profit of 200. NOT a good bet IMO, just choose one of them and live with it.

    Iceman, good news, your math is off too. If you bet both of them at +500, and you bet $1,000 on each, your profit will be $4,000 if one of them wins. Nice bet.

    Iceman,

    +500 is 5 to 1, so your return would be 6,000, not 5,000
