    Let the Celtics chase begin?
    Next three are in Boston, and with the way the games have been going, I don't see the juice getting too high on ML bets. I can't see Boston going 0-3 at home, so I'll be putting up some dollars on the next three games till I come out with a profit. Reserving my bank roll for this.

    I despise chases, but this actually sounds pretty solid. I bet if you waited for some in games lines, you would even get much better prices.

    Actually I think a chase on LA would work just as well. I said before the series started, these two teams are remarkably evenly matched. Betting the zig zag or simply betting the underdog ML every game would probably yield a profit.

        If you're going to chase, why wouldn't you chase the Lakers a +money instead?

            And what if you think the Celts may win the next 3 games, like myself?

                Interesting Fish, but... I do not believe either will win 3 outa the next 3, but (if) my LA ml wins tonight, I chase Boston next 2 for a second win. If LA loses tonight, I just add what I would have won to the next two chase bets with LA ml. So in theory, it's an automatic 2 win. (insert stupid ass dancing lock, or some other equally annoying emocon here). >

                  How about taking Boston tonight for a unit, if they lose put 2 or more units on Boston in game 4? The team thats down 2-1 probably has the refs on their side in game 4
                  I dont see LAL winning 3 in Boston, they are 2-4 on the road in the playoffs, 2-0 vs a very shitty Utah team with 2 starters injured
                  The only thing that Im worried about is Garnett, it seems he is hurt

                        Well what if the Celts win tonight? Then lose the nest two? He is betting that they wont lose 3 in a row, not two.

                            Interesting idea. I've bet LIVE on Bodog before but never noticed any in game money lines (not that I was looking hard)....only what will be the outcome of this play or that. So are you saying that if I take the Lakers ML now at +125 then at some point in the game when/if the Lakers are up they will offer the celtics ML at +whatever? Seems too good to be true..

                                All I'm doing is putting a couple units on the Celts tonight. If they lose, I'll chase. If they win, I'm not touching NBA bets again until the 2010-2011 season begins. The whole point here is to come out on top. Hopefully I win tonight so I can just enjoy the rest of the series without worrying about money.

                                  Good questions. The reason is because where Boston is at home, I feel betting on them increases the chances of ending the chase early. My unit amounts are only small, so the juice isn't really a big issue.

                                        Not too good to be true. Matchbook has in game MLs, although they can get tricky because you are depending on others to bet the other side.

                                        Really I was referring to the fact that isntead of betting Boston ML at -150 right now......find some point in the game in which LA is winning by 5 or 6 points (this is very likely to happen at some point) and you should be able to get a live bet BOS 0 or -1 -110. Hell if LA gets a solid lead you may even get Boston as an underdog. Obviously there is a small risk here that Boston could lead the entire game and you never find a better price.

                                          This is the first series in as long as I remember where no team could possibly when 3 in a row, so I think this is a really solid bet!

                                              End of the 1st Quarter. Boston ML is +170. Much better odds than the -140 you were looking at huh? Hope you followed my tip.

                                                  Now you can chase the Celtics the next 2 games, the league will make sure they win one so the series goes at least 6.

                                                    I see no reason why Boston doesn't. The Lakers got what they wanted, and I think they will be more venerable in game 4 than 5.

                                                        If Lakers win Game 4, Celtics ML would merit HUGE wager in Game 5 for reasons I've already stated many times. I am betting Celtics for normal unit in Game 4, but if I lose that play, I will give teem very high win% probability in Game 5 and see what Kelly tells me.
