As he'd said many times, all it takes is one or two buckets (in general) from GS to turn the tide with the odds.... sure enough, less than five minutes later, they were a huge favorite and OKC was back to +800 or higher. One small hedge on OKC and now have a guaranteed no-lose situation, with an extremely good chance of winning on GS.
He managed to do it a few times last night, I only managed to pull it off once, as I'm still slow on the trigger sometimes. But these big favorites like Golden State, Houston, whatever.... if they can go down early and the odds swing, it's damn near free money.
