    That was my concern with this bet, especially given the raptors have beaten the cavs already this season.

    But GL nonetheless.

    you only win 15 because there is less inherent risk in this bet than lets say taking the over at 1.90


    the odds reflect the risk you take on when making the bet, so a bet with higher odds has a higher chance of loosing

    if you guys think raptors have a chance it means you have already put money on the spread because +10 is a hell of a spread for a team that you think is gonna win outright

    We weren't questioning the mathematics of the bet, we get the odds aspect of it. The issue we had, or I did at least, was why you would risk so much to win so little. The cavs have already lost once this season to the raptors as a huge favorite, "fool me once shame on you..."

    you could of tailed someone's spread picks here for greater value and less risk to win 15

    14-3 home record vs a below 0.500 Toronto road record... Very strong chance that Cleveland wins but still by no means is it worth the risk! All it takes is for Cleveland to have a real bad game... As we all know this happens to every team in professional sports at some point.

    they have a good chance to win...what if something crazy happen like lebron breaks a leg (not likely but still)
    then the raps pull off a win..imagine risking 100 to win 15..i cant see it being worth it ever

    Yeah, I made last time out of the £100 I had a balance of £754 so I cashed out all to the bank and left only £100 to play with

    So far so good

    Agree, but not tonight, this is not a risk, this is simply like going to the bank, depositing £100 and the next day it turns into £115 just like a magic

    I know that you know, Im just saying that risking 100 on a 1.15 bet is not the same as risking 100 on a 1.9 odds bet

    betting on handicaps is a coin flip

    making a bet to win outright could be a sure thing if you know your bball and can avoid games which are potential upsets

    having said that i think 1.15 is a generous offer as i dont see cavs loosing tonight, yes toronto is a better team than a couple of months ago but they are still one level below cavs and i think cavs want to win this game

    This is 100 to cashout 115 with no doubts, it's like asking you if 1+1=2? and there cannot be any other answer than yes.

    Congrats on this one buddy! I hope you don't plan on betting your entire bankroll on the Cavs every time they play at home because eventually you'll get burned.
