    Did anyone notice the GSW to SWEEP Hou line? -400

    This was nuts. -400 to sweep the Rockets. I thought itd be like -200 at most. This was insanity. They really dont think Hou will steal one at home? I guess not. GSW is good defensively when they try, and Harden doesnt get his little bullshit ticky tack fouls in the playoffs, so i guess it makes sense. No way I could ever bet that though.

    did you have a line on yours? I was shocked when i saw it. I cant imagine that was a normal line. You couldnt bet against it though so your idea wouldnt work... Like you couldnt bet on "houston not to get swept"

    I may have worded it wrong. The bet was the 'exact series' bet. It was Warriors win in 4 -400. It wasnt like Warriors sweep -400 and Houston not get swept +250 or something like that. If that were the case, i would have bet on houston to not get swept.

    Man the open on five dimes was -120 for sweep - how that becomes -400 after one win and an injury is beyond me

    Louie Id like to know what you would make the lines before these series: GSW vs. Hou(before GAME 1), GSW vs. SA, GSW vs Clippers and GSW vs. Cavs? TIA.

    And by the time the cavs make the finals they are going to be looking very capable and very good and they will upset anyone they meet there

    I meant series prices. We were talking about series prices, didnt mean game lines but what price for each of those series would you make each.

    That -145 might be a little low when you compare it to SA's -175. Thanks for your input Louie. Good luck this playoffs

    iloseagain I'm not a pro so I'm not sure but I think if indeed we get that match-up you will be once again looking at a team that pushed the already injured Warriors to 6 last year but with their 2nd and 3rd best players on bard and a new coach this year -- the books will set the line low to bait Warriors backers (and the line will match what it was at open of playoffs) because they already know this year's script

    CAVS WILL WIN IT ALL

    i just feel like all 3 of them on the court at the same time is not a good mix.. they barely beat detroit in game 1...

    I will take all the heat and hate if they don't but I see a team gelling better every day just playing rope-a-dope with the rest of the league -- I see a team that is a lock for the finals because there is not a team that can beat them 4 times in 7 games -- and I see some competition in the west but I see the NBA influence in the King's favor once he get there finally getting the hump off of his back and solidifying him as the GOAT -- call me a homer a nut licker whatever -- everyone going to be calling me moneybags at year's end -- after one game their odds are down to +400 after opening at +530 -- don't see it getting better than that -- let's see and best of luck to you
