the heat had a 24 point lead, couldve been around +4000

Bet no one had the balls to take their ML

they were +14.5 at one point so their ML may of been bigger than +850

Damn. After how poorly they played in the 1st half, it definitely would've been a ballsy move to take their ML

I was wonderin the same thing. I couldn't watch the game, cuz I was in class and was pissed at halftime and then checked the score every few mins to see them come back for the W

. Wish I woulda taken the ML instead of +5.5, but I'll take the win anyday.

I'm a Magic fan that thinks highly of the team when they're "on" but even I wouldn't have taken that bet. I am curious to know what the odds were though.

I took the Magic at +11 in the 2Q and didn't look again until early in the 4Q when the Magic were down by 3. It's hard to blow out an elite team is such a matchup.

Really though, anyone that opted for the ML at that point should not be bragging about the play. If you make that ML wager 100 times, against the team that's up 18 at the half, you're going to be disappointed 90% of the time. For anyone that risked it and won,

to you. Sometimes it's better to be lucky that good.
