The odds last time I checked of the Lakers winning the conference was +130. The Spurs was also +130.


Let's be honest, ONE of those teams will win the West no matter what. That's a guarantee.



Put money on Lakers +130
Put just as much on the Spurs +130


And if one of those teams win the conference, you get a 15% return on your investment. You can also adjust this rate by maybe putting more on the Lakers or Spurs, so you can get a 20% if Lakers win and 10% if Spurs win or something.




For those who just want to make guaranteed money and live in peace, just put your entire bankroll on this and enjoy the rest of the NBA season.

which book has this???

I was on Bookmaker and they had Lakers +130 and Spurs +130 to win conference. That sounds about accurate as well. Most books should be around the same I assume.

[ssk13809]

Come on people you won't get guaranteed deals like this everyday. Personally, I prefer the 20% Lakers-10% Spurs profit deal.

[riskyProps]

It may be a safer bet but it is still a bet. bets are not guarantees. it may be a good bet if you are betting like $20,000.00 or so.

I, myself like more risk/reward type situations.

lol okay. I guarantee you 90% of you won't make 15% profit this NBA season.

[klrqn]

You think it's more likely LA comes back to take the lead by the end of the season?

Personally like SA 20 / LA 10.

You'd have to put something like 10k to make this with it tho

[ssk13809]

Ok but no harm in putting even a small amount on this. Profit is profit. Unless all of SBR thinks they will do better than 15%.

You guys realize making bets like these is exactly what the books don't want to see happening. They want you to avoid this bet and "think" you can do better. And guess what, just like every year, the book wins.

[Power Play]

There's a 15% chance that someone else is coming out of the west.

Do you even watch the NBA? This is not the NFL or NCAA where its 1 game and you're out. They play series here, where the better team wins. No one in the West is going to beat the Lakers or Spurs in a SERIES. Coaching, players, experience, talent, and many more edges for the Lakers and Spurs.

[Power Play]

People could get injured. Dallas or Oklahoma City have a small chance to win if they get hot. NBA where amazing happens. Lakers and Spurs both old and with a major injury (not out of the question) would severely influence their chance at winning. That's why it's called gambling. There are no "locks"

[todd24kb]

The only things guaranteed you'll see in our lifetime are taxes and death.

[Fasttrack]

Sounds like a pretty good strategy. Wish my book had this prop.

[demens]

Mavs will be just as good as these teams come play-off time.

OKC, Den can be hot and the playoffs and surprise everyone.

[ssk13809]

OKC, Denver, Dallas, we hear those names every year. But when it comes to series, these teams will be -300 underdogs to win. Good luck.


Just realize Lakers or Spurs have represented the West 11 out of the last 12 years.

And this year both teams are strong, some of those 12 years only one of them had a chance to represent the West. In fact, they will be the #1 and most likely #2 seeds.




Whatever, just trying to help.

[ATP123]

better take a flyer on oklahoma city, never discount the best player in the nba

[BettingWizard]

OKC has a chance if they get their defense together. Don't say they can't win a 7 game series

[Bradyd]

Having to wait 3 to 4 months for a 15% return make work in the stock market, but it doesn't fly here in the sports market. Add the fact that both of these teams are old, injury prone and neither one needs to have home-court advantage, means that there are better bets out there. You would come out better by either picking 1 and sticking with it, or just betting a highly favorite team on a given night. At least with the latter, you wouldn't have to wait so long to cash in and at most sweat it out for 48 minutes...

[slimpickins]

If you are convinced no other team stands a chance just bet Lakers +130 and then when/if they meet the Spurs in West Finals bet the Spurs to win the series. Lakers will be considerable favorites being the public team they are so you would likely still get Spurs +130 for that series and not tie up all your money.
Personally I don't ever play these futures bets but know some folks make big dough on them.

[blackbox]

update here- you can get SA AT +3.25 to win West Conf. at BET-JAM. gl all

[jmilacek]

Good looking out. Barring injury I really can't see another team winning.

[freeagent]

Totally agree that either LA or San Antonio represent the west. Just too long to wait for us junkies to have some money tied up that I'll probably lose before then anyway, lol, but this bet will hit. Unless a big trade happens like Mavs renting Melo for a few months but they'll still probably lose.

[Aussiecapper101]

well the mavs arent gonna do shit all and okc arent as good as last year when they couldnt get it done, both spurs and lakers have only improved if anything so I cant see why this isnt safe bet

[ssk13809]

Well without a doubt it's free money. And hey if you feel strongly one of those teams will win, you can do 30% Profit Lakers win, and Push Spurs Win. So that's like a free shot at 30% on the team you feel strongest on.

[eldoctord]

This thread is showing us why gambling exists. For every buyer there's a seller......for every bet there's a taker.....What's your price???

[Flight]

You keep using the terms "guarantee" and "free money"

I calculate (based on the market odds, not based on a predictive model) that this event occurs 87% of the time. That is not guaranteed.

Good luck with the bet.

[yisman]

Great thread.

Remember, the books were giving away free money here. Guaranteed. No other team had a chance.
