So your so sure the Lakers will win two you are giving them ~22% chance ?

You can have Boston -250. They have to win 2 of the 3 games at HOME. If you like the Celtics to win those 2 games of 3 take the odds or hit the highroad.

[vyomguy]

If you are so confident that lakers will win 2 out of 3, then why do you need -350 juice?...put your money where your mouth is and lay down -110 odds.

Lakers will definitely win 1 game in boston...everybody knows it. You don't have to be a "sharp" to figure that out. The question is whether they can win 2 games. We all know boston will win atleast one game out of the three. So, you are asking us to lay -350 on the third game on which the actual money line itself wont exceed -180.

Anyone laying more than -180 on this bet is getting ripped off. Think twice before you place your bets minions.

-110 odds

go back one page where snowball did the math. i already said i will take -250.

[Mikail]

-250 is fair. Put up Celtics backers.

[PAULYPOKER]

Ok I had it!! It is time for the Doctor to step in,,LB inflated the line because he knows there will be no takers,, he knocked it down a smudge but it still is ridiculous..
bottom line this thread was created for therapy for the game 2 loss at Staples which all but drove the stake through the Kobe shows heart,,which is LB's beloved team......................

[jagermeister1]

A lot of people talking shit, but nobody wants to throw down any coin. Pretty weak. And even when the man says "name your price, then," still nobody has anything to say but talk shit. INCREDIBLY WEAK.

I agree with you on your prediction, LB, but -250 is still steep. If you're confident, you can lower the juice to -200 and you'll get a lot of takers.

I won't be one of them, though.

Thats what makes me laugh. I asked someone a simple question this morning but they ran away from an answer. Most guys are hoping im wrong then they will come back in here and talk shit. -250 is fair but these guys want -110 odds or + odds on the home team. They all want boston to win so bad but cant back it up with the HOME squad to do the task of 2 wins in 3 games.

You need to go back to your protected thread my friend,,this is the real world out here and you are not protected by the MODS,,so be careful when you try to speak because I will rip you a new ASSHOLE.......

[t-wizzle]

LB, i told you early in this thread that i would be more than willing to take it anywhere from -200 to -250. The problem is I never have betpoints.

[lakerboy]

ill give you -250. you have 234 points right now.

[krk1030]

it aint goin back to la

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Great thread, i'll take those -250 odds but I just used all my points to buy a $50 MLB Gift Card.

[lakerboy]

it aint goin back to la

you could be right. la might win all 3.

[diggnation+TRS]

I really hope lakers win 2 in boston so my series bet wins

[og4667]

if you still like the Lakers to win the series then this is a good chance to make some money. Taking the Lakers ML will be +110 at least in all the games in Boston and they better win 2 out of 3 or they are done.

[Mikail]

[shari91]

86 posts and not one person has taken LB up on his offer. Even @ -250. Wow.

[lakerboy]

they all want boston at +200 at home.

[Patrickk_b]

LB so confident yet puts down -350 in his opening post. Nice odds retard

Grow some balls if you want to become like SBRJohn and actually offer a favorable line or maybe you should just sit the fuk down as you are clearly scared.

[suicidekings]

If you apply the Game 3 opening ML to each game in the series as the standard (fair line: +145/-145), the implied probability of the Lakers winning each game is 40.8% (BOS = 59.2%). From there, you can estimate the probabilities of the Lakers winning 1, 2, or 3 games in Boston.

Lakers win 2+ games: 36.4%, ML +175
Lakers win exactly 2 games: 29.6%, ML +238
Celtics wins 2+ games: 63.6%, ML -175
Celtics win exactly 2 games: 42.9%, ML +133

However, this is just a quick calculation. These numbers are based on books odds set to balance betting (not true odds) and assume equal value placed on Games 1, 2, and 3, which is definitely not accurate. I would say that these numbers are very conservative and the true odds of the Celtics winning 2+ games in Boston should be no less than -300 (75% probability). For LB to offer anything less than -300 is a bad bet for him.

[PAULYPOKER]

Lakers
Percentage of bringing home the gold when they are in the final phase = 47%
Bostons
Percentage of bringing home the gold when they are in the final phase = 81%

Why is the LA Lakers championship record so poor?????? one word BOSTON!
They met 11 times and this is the 12th and through history the BEANTOWNKINGS beat the Fake Shows ass 9 of the 11 which is an eye popping 82% stranglehold.......

What side do you want to be on???????

Completely irrelevant to the current series...

[PAULYPOKER]

It is?? Boston beat the lakers game 2 you know at the holy temple,,which is history repeating itself all over again......

I guees you do not realize the advantage of stealing a game on the Favorites home court early in the series is....

If you dont want to make a bet no need to post in here. A guy named Patrickk b is calling me a retard on a internet forum. Should i punch my monitor? Tell what a favorable line is genius?

[suicidekings]

Besides 2008 (which is obviously relevant), the Lakers and Celtics haven't faced each other in the NBA finals since 1987... So no. Previous matchups have no bearing on this series.

Means nothing if they fail to protect their own home court by taking 2+ in Boston.

[jackpot269]

I dont thik so C's win 2!!!!!!!!!

I'm not here to argue or stuff my beliefs down your throat I'm just putting history in full sight whether it is relevant or not is to each his own..

Now, this is how you tell someone how it is. Paulypoker just let this guy know what's what.

[Goat Milk]

LB do you want my breakdown of this game later to compare thoug;hts

[Jedi]

Lakerboy.. you are dreaming... i understand that you really believe, and that as a die-hard fan you must...
but the Lakers have already lost this series.. by losing one at home... it's done..

Kobe is not a winner, he is a showman.. he needs a premium center to get over the hump and credits himself entirely. They beat the Magic last year, but that team was young inexperienced, and had Nelson return from an injury (which ruined the team chemistry), i would not have done the same. Just as it was a mistake to replece Leighton for the Flyers in Game 1 NHL Finals.

LOL.. The Lakers WILL NOT win two in Boston... i feel that the Finals 2-3-2 model really favors the road team.

i challenge you to a wager of 200 pts.. but not at any price. Even money. If you in fact have a point, then your thoughts regarding this matter should be right on.. and thus; do not require any protection of a cushion. Perhaps you think that Boston has already lost 2 games at home 2010 playoffs.. then 2 more is not a stretch.

What i am saying to you, is that Kobe is a fraud. That stupid "tiger" face he puts on is the stupidest thing i have ever seen. It is hilarious that he only puts it on when victory is certain. As well, if that was truly part of his body language, autonomic nervous system.. it would have been part of his mechanics and physical behavior his entire life. It would not have manifested in the last two years. Pitiful that all these sportscasters buy into it.. really the dumbset thing i have at that level.

If you really believe that your loser glam-boys are up to the task, you will accept this wager straight. Also, if you believe in your ability of foresight, you will accept this wager straight.

••• >>> LAKERBOY vs. JEDI <<< •••
LB: Lakers to win 2 games in Boston

Jedi: Celtics to win 2 or 3 games in Boston

[t-wizzle]

LB i'm considering this challenge but i gotta decide if i wanna wager all my points or if i want to save them to make some small plays in the sbr sportsbook for the rest of the finals and maybe some mlb to test out how well i can do in that.

[PAULYPOKER]

Here is another can of gasoline to hurl into the LAKE of fire,, I didn't search back real far but I didn't have to to find the H-bomb.........

Here it is>Guess what happened the last time the Lakers failed to protect their lively hood in their own house??

Yes sirree boys,, in 2004 the Lake Show lost a lot of blood to the Pistons in game 1 of the championship series by getting embarrassed with a loss of 87-75,,Lakers won game 2 in OT 99-91 only to prolong the agony because when it continued in motor-city for the next big 3,, the Pistons mopped the hardwood floor with the Kobe show&company 3 straight times to win the title 4 to 1!!!!!!

[t-wizzle]

Pauly, if Boston doesn't win this series, are you gonna be able to take the heat?
