Blazers 100-1 to win NBA Championship

asjulian · 03-05-11, 10:20 PM

get them to win the western conference that's a better one. also denver 50 to 1 winning western conf is not bad

I would put a few bucks on it. Hey, you never know. If Camby stays healthy, Roy gets back into the mix, and G Dubs fits in chemistry wise, this team will be a force to be reckoned with. Question is, will they get in the playoffs in the first place. I think they have a great chance personally.

yes a potential sleeper, look at the final in 2000 or 1999 when Duncan got his ring, NKY got Camby as a Rookie.

haha this seems funny. but throwing away money. teams like the blazers can upset teams when its only 1 game. winning a 7 game series against LA or SA is much different

TechnicallyFoul · 03-07-11, 04:23 PM

The Blazers can play and contend with anybody. They've proven that.

This is throwing away money. I would steer clear of this 99/100 times, the one time being when I'm drunk and irrational.

.0001 chance it hits

lunchbawks · 03-07-11, 04:34 PM

blazers advance to round 2 is almost worthy of a bet.

heat magic celtics lakers no way portland can beat these teams

Okay. You mentioned four teams there. Which of the four teams, which have absolutely no value odds-wise to win the championship are you going to bet??? Bet all four and you lose regardless.

I won't have an NBA futures play this season, unless I see something really good.

Gun to my head i would take LAL but chances are they won't win

Okay, well somebody who is looking for some value and some fun might bet Portland, especially if they are 100-1. Lay 5 and get 5 hundo if a semi-miracle happens. I've seen semi-miracles take place again and again. Then again, if five buckos breaks your bank roll, don't bet it.

This isnt football where a last place team can get hot. This is basketball where only five players on the court have to beat a superior 5 players for 4 series. Aint gonna happen joe. This team has shown nothing to say they can beat LAL, OKC, BOS, MIA, CHI, SAS in a best of 7 and do it 4 times over. To win the conf. finals would be remotely feasible, to win it is throwing your money away.

You're right. This team has shown nothing to say they can beat any of those teams in a best of 7. Then again, none of the teams you have mentioned has shown they can beat the Blazers in a best of 7. Reason being, no team is the same team from years past.

Those are terrible odds IMO. Do a 7 or 8 team parlay instead, it has a much higher % to hit.

TechnicallyFoul · 03-07-11, 05:36 PM

I want to parlay futures!!!!! Where???

JOHON8 · 03-07-11, 05:54 PM

Dallas 20-1 is value.
