    Cleveland -2100 = Lock

    Just kidding but seriously why put out this line who in their right mind would lay that much juice?

    You're right.

    Just under 5% return in 2.5 hours with very little risk?

    Exactly. Not a bad bet at all. I would put the risk at 5%.

    define very little risk. 5% of chance losing is not that little.

    The Sun not exploding today at -9999999999999 is also a lock, but that doesn't mean you should bet on it.

    I think the bookies really don't want action on lines like that. They just put the lines out because they in essence have to

    If you had the balls, £2500 to win £100 - easy. Of course i and the majority of people here do not, i think stress and heart failure would come first

    It's a lock, sort of. It's NBA playoffs. Maybe...

    I lost a ML bet like that before and it wasn't close. Juice was like -2300 and the shit lost. That was about 8 years ago and I've never had the balls to make a similar play. It was damn near impossible to recover after that loss. Hurts just thinking about it.

    The very little risk just became a big risk.

    the mental pain of losing it is more painful than losing the money itself.
