Why are the C's only -143 to win the series?

Yeah I just can't get my mind around this...so damn weird.

And in addition, Miami is a -1.5 favourite game 6 =/

Anyone have an explanation for this line and series price??

This is looking fishy as hell. I mean come on.

Fishy how? To get heavy money on Boston?

putting miami as -1.5 favorites to show everyone they have a good shot to win this game when they apparently don't

Hmm...i was thinking the opposite. The fact that they're giving Boston + points when every square/sharp/public and their dogs believe Boston is gonna win and close this, is actually fishy. I seriously though books would make this -3 or maybe more for Boston, anticipating a close game.

I think everyone would pound Boston at + pts at this stage of the series - books know it.

60% on OKC and Boston. Maybe you are right.

quit thinking so hard, if Rondo got that foul call in game 2 OT... series might be over right now.

Miami can't do it, Boston wants 1 more go at the Finals! Boston wins... fukk Miami

I agree. If anyone other than Rondo managed to score in OT gm 2, this would be over. The celtics have pretty much won 4 games straight. The heat are soft and I doubt they can do it. What if Lebron has an off night anyways? Ill take Boston +105 gladly.

Snowball · 06-06-12, 03:02 PM

because the games have been close
and Miami is still very dangerous team.

Boston Celtics vs Oklahoma City Thunder

matchup @ +116

And if Wade makes three at end of Game 4, series likely over in the other direction.

Books valued Miami as the better team this entire series. I guess they are sticking to their guns here. Did seem like Boston just wanted it more last night. Every 50/50 ball they seemed to come down with. Maybe sense of urgency down 3-2 helps Miami, maybe they crumble under pressure. I would lean the latter, but dont think I may I play here.
