Why did vegas give away money tonight?

Nice hindsight thread.

I'm sure you had a million on it, b/c it was soooooo EZ.

. Free money galore

You said -5 was EZ not them winning the game.

Lakers winning the game was predictable. The ML was -250.

**shari91** · 06-03-10, 11:09 PM

Do you post your picks before the game has started? The fact that you thought this one was so easy to call and free money, I'd really love to tail you.

**jlgarciaiii22** · 06-03-10, 11:10 PM

They gave you this one... Cause they know they are gonna get back about 10x more by the end of the finals!

Uhh last time I checked if you win the game it's almost a sure thing they cover a low spread

**all_wade** · 06-03-10, 11:15 PM

Bet them again game 2 then. Line should be no different.

**og4667** · 06-03-10, 11:15 PM

ohhh yeaa that was so easy. Good thing all my bets are like this!

**OTL** · 06-03-10, 11:19 PM

The public was on Boston, so the books had a good night.

**Gumdog** · 06-03-10, 11:24 PM

um last time i checked 5.5 wasnt exactly a low spread?

**Cappinpicks** · 06-03-10, 11:43 PM

Public on Boston? how could that be? Lakers were a guarantee on paper.

**mundane** · 06-03-10, 11:48 PM

*cough* bs thread *cough*

congrats on a nice call! lulz!

**xxxvince** · 06-03-10, 11:50 PM

nope not going to happen. I'm picking and choosing my bets in the Finals carefully. Smaller bet for gm 2... patiently wait to strike another larger bet.

**Cappinpicks** · 06-04-10, 12:05 AM

People who took boston are hating on me for pointing out that it was free money to bak the lakers

**krk1030** · 06-04-10, 12:06 AM

Great post to make AFTER the game.

**balman** · 06-04-10, 12:15 AM

the free money was half time lakers -0.5 +102 at pinnacle... i like 1/2 time bets you get a feel for how the teams are playing... anyone have stat on teams leading at 1/2 time and winning the 2nd half? seems like its always winner and the spread is lower than opening lines..

**tbonmusikman** · 06-04-10, 12:46 AM

nice call bro...

technically, yes, the halftime spreads will always be smaller, but the question is would you have taken lakers -9.5 before tip?

I was on LA. But it would be slightly more useful to make this post before the game as opposed to when it has 2 minutes left.

I agree, people were taking Celtics all day today at work, and Vegas is a very Laker-friendly town. It made me feel great taking the Lakers.

**wrongturn** · 06-04-10, 11:09 AM

vegas also gives away money when you have a black jack in a hand, so?
