    LB, I know you strongly believe Lakers will take two out of three in Boston. Having said that, it's also obvious you have a strong opinion on the Lakers to win this thing. I don't recall, but are you on the series price or any of the above?

    I like the series as well @ -140 for a potential 10X.

    1400 to win 1000

    But, after looking at your numbers above, it seems we could do better. Maybe putting 5X on 4-2 and 7.5X on 4-3 is the wiser move.

    4-2 series $500 @ +353 = $1765-(below wager)$750 = $1015

    Combined with...

    4-3 series $750 @ +206 = $1545-(above wager)$500 = $1045

    Total risk here is $1250 to win slightly more than 1K

    Opinions?

    Took the Celts +170 or something before the series started for just 1 unit. We'll see how it goes. Loving my Celtics Basketball these days.

    I put a little bit on celts series after game #1. Hope they keep it up but either team is capable of winning this series. Just hope Im on the right side of the coin

    I have nothing riding on the series prices. I believe if you like LA take them now for -140 for the series or -135. After they win tonight you will NEVER get that value back again.

    I still believe in Lakers. Think they're going to play well in Boston.

    Not to be weird, but if you like the Lakers to win 2 out of 3 in Boston, you've got to like the them for the series. Do you see better value in simply picking your spots or taking moneyline big tonight for example?

    My point was simply that taking 4-2 and 4-3 combined was a better deal than series price of -140. Combined the other yields about -120 I believe.

    Yeah you can take LA at 4-2 or 4-3 and get a better #. You can also take them tonight like i did at +135. Your idea makes sense. Go ahead and give it a shot.

    I won't be betting it, but +888 and +868 look like good value to me.

    New lines for exact result. Interesting how LA in 5 games has lower odds than Boston in 7 or 6.

    103 Boston Celtcs 4-2+723

    104 Boston Celtcs 4-3+672

    106 Los Angeles Lakers 4-1+519

    107 Los Angeles Lakers 4-2+178

    108 Los Angeles Lakers 4-3+236

    I think alot of us wish we had put some money on Boston 4-2 or 4-3. Could have made some nice coin.
