Play LAL ML and Boston + the points in Game 7

If Boston ML makes it to +300, what about taking Boston ML and Kobe Bryant to win finals MVP (-300)? If Lakers win game 7, Kobe has to win MVP, right? If that scenario happens, you just get your money back and break even. If the Celtics win, Kobe may still have a chance at winning MVP despite being on the losing side since nobody has stood out for Boston consistently in this series, and you could possibly win both wagers.

I still think this is the play.

I have three Laker futures, but am seriously considering going nearly half with Boston +7 to see if I can sweep the board. If not, at least I walk away with a small profit.

How is that balanced..?

My bad -- I had the numbers wrong last night (it was late and I was tired).

I have 4U in futures to win 3U riding on the Lakers winning. I might counter with 3U on Boston +7 -- that way, worst case scenario I break even with a hedge (if Boston wins or the Lakers cover) and best case scenario I'm up almost 6U (if the Lakers win but Boston covers).

I just realized this can't be done with the Laker ML being over -300 (well it can, but you aren't guaranteed a profit). I was thinking along the lines of having a future at -130 and -110, which I have.

Sorry.

3U to win on future with 4U to win on Celtics +7??? So LA could cover and you're down a unit....is your mind right?

Bet Boston ML small....the above and LA ML w/ Celtics +7 is retarded. Boston could win SU and your chalked ML is fuked. The only thing that makes sense is BOS ML and LA-7, though I don't like it.

Should say 3U on Boston +7 -- not 4.

I think there's a better chance that the Lakers win but don't cover than Boston winning SU, but that's just me.
