Makes little sense. I bet on Heat at -135 for the first game, and Pacers +320 to win the series. Sort of a sloppy arbitrage....
How is this crazy? Pacers are +120 for this HOME GAME. If they're +2 at home that means they're probably +8 (+350) for the road games.

What you're doing is not arbitrage, or at least not arbitrage in your favor. You're paying double juice and pretty much guaranteeing you will lose.

If the Heat do win this game our +320 will be pretty much worthless. It will go to +900. And if the Heat lose the +320 won't even fall that much, maybe +220.

Odds are not strange.
