Milwaukee Bucks ML +1300 @ Bookmaker. Worth a shot?

[onlooker]

I just notice that Bookmaker has the Bucks at a +1300 on the money line. With as hot as the Lakers are, we all know they can fade in the late quarters. Could they have a let down at home?

Anyone think it is worth a shot?

Matchbook +1400
Pinnacle +1500

LV Hilton +1500

Might be worth a shot if Redd plays...get that extra spark off of the bench. I think I'll stay away though as Redd may be a little rusty. GL if you decide to play it

I thought the Lakers were home.

I thought the Lakers were home.

They are, my bad. Was typing through to fast and my mind got garbled.

+1500 - what does that put them on, a 6 or 7 percent chance of winning? That looks decent to me - Milwaukee isn't the worst team in the league, they are a winning streak away from .500, they have some good guys in there. The Lakers aren't the best team in the league either, they're a .720 team at home right now. I think Milwaukee's chances of winning are probably in the double digits.

No prob bud, happens to the best of us. That +1300/+1400 would've been even sweeter if they were playing in Milwaukee though, right?

[Data]

+1300 seems just about right, so +1500 gives a slight edge.

[onlooker]

Bookmaker to +1350.
Pinnalce to +1600.

5dimes up to +1350 as well.

I noticed this to.. I was on a website where the experts offer the free picks and 1 place is listing Milwaukee to win outright... I'm not betting this game though, way to risky.

[buztah]

I just hit the ML for one unit. I'll take that bet. Risking one unit to win 12.

[MJFtheGenius]

I do not think the money line is worth a shot but no NBA team deserves to be 15 point favs so I did take the Bucks at +15

[ShamsWoof10]

I think they get blown out but they might cover 15... They said Kobye had brauncides..<<I'm sure it's mispelled.. I still think they blown them out...

[jeffries]

You mean bronchitis... If Andrew Bynum is playing, that's still gonna be a problem for the Bucks.. I never saw the line at +15 though. What sportsbook are you using? My sportsbook has the line at +12 for Milwaukee

Bookmaker had it at +15 about 5 minutes prior to tip off

Wow damn..... Lakers getting favored big time here... and Kobe just knocked down back to back 3's... I got Bucks first half +7.5... hopefully they can hang around there

[jeffries]

The Bucks seem to be in much better standing then what the public initially thought.. Don't rule out the possibility of an upset just yet

[onlooker]

Well at least they covered the spread. I didn't watch the game, but it seemed like the Bucks hung around all game and gave the ML backers a tease.

[lkravovicz]

nah, it was out of their serious reach, they nailed a couple of 3s to make it respectable in the final minute combined with missed FTs by LA, but LA had this all the way. bynum and bryant have caught my eye as always being top this and top that in the last few games.
