    Lakers will win 2 out of 3 in Boston.

    Whoever wants to bet me let me know and what you think should be fair odds. I will start taking bets on Monday morning. Think twice before you make your bets though cause you will lose. As an early starter my price for Boston backers is -350 at least. So if you take Boston to win 2 games ( out of 3 at home)you have to take -350 at least.

    -350 is a steep price. I don't see why anyone would pay that... I'd consider it at -225/-250 but then again I have a shortage of points.

    I want to see all these big mouth boston backers back it up. They think Boston is gonna go home and win 2 out of 3 at least so they shouldnt be worried about the price.

    Well LB you also said you were convinced LA would win the series... With that in mind, I'm surprised you want at least -350 from Boston backers.

    Lb boston will win 2 of 3 there.... boston isnt that great of a home team but the lakers havent faired that well on the road either...i dont know what makes you think LA will steal 2 games there....its going to come back to LA where game 6 will go to LA and game 7 most likely to LA. Boston will be up 3-2 going to LA if you are willing to give me -240ish ill lay the price up to 2000 points im willing to goo... the price you are offering is just pathetic.

    nobody will take this. Not because of the -350 but because they know Boston can't do it.

    Lakers losing dug themselves a big hole, but a heck of a lot easier than the -350 odds you are offering.

    I will, as soon as game 3 comes around. I'll be dropping what ever betpoints I have. This is where being a fan, starts to cloud your handicapping judgment.

    -350 isn't really that bad for boston to win one out of 3 at home. why does everyone say this is so unreasonable?

    I bet that has more do with if the Celts don't cover, my Lakers are 2-0. If not, then at least I won some money to make me feel a little bit better if were down 1-1

    I had this game capped as a Lakers win by less than 4 pts. I saw an angle and took advantage. That's gambling. Best # was on the Celtics pointspread as I saw it. As far as going to Boston at 1-1 I don't think it's something for the Lakers to be too concerned about.

    If Boston only wins 1, you lose the bet.

    This is better bet. If you believe, Lakers will win 1 out of 3. Take Lakers money line for 100 dollar bet. If lose, bet 200 for second one. If you lose again, bet up to 400. This is so called Chase system bet. Remember if you win the first bet, you should stop. That's it. Besides, Boston plays at home not as good as on the road.

    i'm new to this but why u post -350 when it should la -350 and c's +235. it might be more interesting. lots of pts. but it was a good gm. today. ref's r a little tight both ways. is the series going to be like that. if it is this is going to be one nba series. lots of $$$ to be made by both organization more so the nba. we'll need to watch. gms. 2,3,4 is the critical for the ref's. 2 played out so now u need to watch what 3 is going to be like.

    Hard to call, but they'll likely win at least 1 in Boston

    what are you talking about?

    he is betting LA will win 2/3 games, if they do, Boston wins 1/3 of them and we lose wager...

    there is no way for boston to only win 1 game and for you to win the bet.

    Assuming LA has 40% of chance to win each game in Boston, it has about 35.20% of chance to win at least 2 games, which translates to +185 line. But if the bet is on exactly 2 of 3, then the chance is about 28.80% which is +247 line.

    Doesn't make sense. If you think the Celts win 2/3, then just take the -150 ML for game 3.
