I feel very confident that one of these 2 teams will make the nba finals. I see weaknesses in all of the other popular choices, and i think this is the year where someone new sneaks in. Both teams play defense, have a stud scorer to carry them, and have deep rosters. Noah has not even been a part of the bulls great season - hes a great defender, rebounder and hustle guy. the mavs have length and i think its their time to make a legit run. If i had a gun to my head, i would probably pick a Lakers/Celts rematch - but i'm looking for value and i know i have it with these 2 teams. One of them just has to make the finals for me to cash this ticket.

needed that.....go mavs in the finals..

(8u) heat -180 (Series). I feel pretty confident that miami will win the title. if i lose this bet, i still collect the $1400 from the above future. i hate to see lebron win a ring this way, but its his time. he is a defensive beast and its the heats smothering defense which has me confident they will win the championship.

[MrSink]

he took the easiest way

I think that Heat is going to take the title as well Dexter. It would be hard for Mavs to keep up with LJ, DW and CB. Wishing you the very best in your play but I don't see you needing it as you have covered all your bases well.

Thx buddy.....playing the series or the games individually?

[MrSink]

why did you put only 8 units?
How about 10u?
it would be still +400$ on mavs, and +550$ on miami
If you like Heat to win championship title u should take these numbers

why not 13 units? lol

at 8u i break even if dallas wins.

i dont understand your +400/+550 comment...

Game 1: (3u) heat -4.5

[Rainricva]

Got a kick out of post #9 in this thread! Im tailing you this eve and also have under 188. LET'S GET THIS!

[Dexter]

57 wins is wayyy off for the heat. You are underestimating the amount of effort the heat will play with every night. Rockets winning 33 games? You must have a hugeee prop bet on the under 48.5 for this team. I think they will win at leasttt 45 games.

I love my heat but i can see them losing to the magic as well. Orlando is just so deep. I am really curious to see how much dwight howard's offensive game has improved. I watched some video of him training with the dream and he looked pretty good with some new offensive moves. I heard he was knocking down little faceup bank shots on yao the other night also. If he has any bit of improvement in his offensive skill set i think howard takes the mvp this year. There is a chance that wade and lebron just turn it up to a different level in the playoffs and smoke everyone.

58 sj!

the bball gods still have time to speak

[MrSink]

If u bet 10u and Mavs win u would win 400$
Otherwise you would collect 550$
I dont undertsand why you wanted even odds

[fly fisher]

nice win with the heat tonight. I had a small wager for the game but was able to take the heat 2nd half too. It was a good day.

10units heat -180 (Loss = -1800)

If the Mavs win (+1400) i lose 400, not win 400.

[MrSink]

Do you have any problems with basic math?
You put 1 unit on Mavs +1400
In addition to this you invest 10 units on Heat
Total units invest =11 units
If mavs win the title you will win 15 units
1 unit * 15 = 15 units
15-11= +4 units
Otherwise you collect 15,5 units
10 units* 280/180= 15,56 units
15,56 -10= +5,56 units

[MrSink]

I guess you are too ignorant to hear others opinions
Maybe it is main reason that u are still down

ignorant b/c you're making no sense with your posts?

maybe you shouldnt talk about others net figures unless you had a positive one yourself.

To win 10 units, you'd be risking 18
So if dallas wins he would be 4 units down (18-14)

[Dexter]

In addition to this you invest 10 units on Heat (10 units x -180)
Total units invest =11 units
If mavs win the title you will win 15 units (wrong, i was 14/1 on the mavs)
1 unit * 15 = 15 units (wrong, see above)
15-11= +4 units (where are you getting 11 from?)
Otherwise you collect 15,5 units
10 units* 280/180= 15,56 units
15,56 -10= +5,56 units

no, i have an mba in finance. either you're not explaining yourself clearly, or you dont get basic math.

you told me to put 10 units on miami instead of 8.

10units x 180 = -1800 if the heat lose (+1400 if the mavs win).....so with this proposed bet by you, i lose 4 units on the series if the mavs win.

8units x180 = 1440 if the heat lose (+1400 if the mavs win).....this was the bet i made, and i created a true hedge by guaranteeing myself a break even or win scenario.

thank you.....this guy has me busting out my calculator as if im crazy.

btw mr sink.....way to hang out in my thread all year then try and insult me for no reason at all.

[Dexter]

10 units* 280/180= 15,56 units
15,56 -10= +5,56 units

can someone explain what hes getting at here? am i missing something or is he simply not factoring in the -180 on miami?

i feel like im back in school trying to figure out a math problem..lol

Your math is correct, his incorrect.. What's worse is he called YOU ignorant. You hedged your series bet properly and have assured yourself profit on the series. Nothing more you could have done. Good job!

whats worse is i considered him a cyber friend.....ive been crying for the past hour.

[MrSink]

wow, Im so sorry guys...
absolutely forget that you got totally diffrent system
when I play Miami for 1 unit i got 1,92u to win
and when I got +1400 odds its mean that I risk one unit to win additional 14 units
sorry for bad words Dex
Im just wondering,it is possible to still be your friend?!

[MrSink]

I use decimal odds
so its easier for me to exchange american lines for European ones (280/180 =-180)

its cool...lol

[MrSink]

fine

[MrSink]

any leans tonight?
dont like spread at all
Mavs play to extend their series because it will be impossible to win all games at home
over represents small value for me

going miami again - if i win this, i will take the 6u from game 1/2 and roll with dallas for 5u in game 3.

I like this idea, kinda like free rolling with a strong play.

Wish you luck on baseball, especially the Tampa UNDER play (cause I am on it too ), but I am will be on the other side of this Heat play dex. Will take Dallas +pts, and ML.
Enjoy the game my man.
