    Very solid Sawyer. I was leaning in the same direction but the best equivalent option I could find worked out to closer to -235... I settled on O5.5/6 for -174, and hoping for game 7.

    You have top shop for the best prices in order to get it at -194. I used a few european bookies.

    -250 or better has value for this bet in my opinion. I don't think these series will end quickly. It's good to have referees & Stern by our side. You know more games, more ads, more TV revenues

    Yes but neither team is going to sweep and neither will win in 5. I am 85% confident this series goes at least 6 games so this is a shrewd play.

    Using two different books, I can only get my odds to -320. Sawyer got some great deals with the odds he has.

    I couldn't get great odds on Over 5.5, so I played over 6 -121. I just hope the NBA doesn't pick this series to prove that they aren't fixing games.

    What were the odds on this scenario last year?

    In fact, both these teams are better (or at least as good) than the Lakers and Celtics were when they met two years ago. I simply can't imagine neither of these teams not winning at least two games.

    I understand that aspect but im pretty sure most people last year thought it would go 6 at least. I didnt see too many on here last year picking the lakers or magic in 5. I would venture to say that the odds were probably the same last year.

    Not true, I saw potential for sweep last year and was not surprised at all at result. Heck, I even had a bet on Lakers in Game 5 up 3-1.

    If one of these teams goes up 3-1, the trailing team would merit a HUGE bet in Game 5.

    Great bet! This will see 6 games minimum. However, where can I find this bet at a sportsbook? My bookie uses Betus to verify the lines, and for some reason I am not seeing the series ov/un.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I just made this bet on 5dimes, thanks so much Sawyer. Anyone care to comment on if my bet was worth the risk?

    Hats off Sawyer-very very shrewd wager (to steal LT's word of the day). All likelihood of paying off in some way. Cheers
