Why were Spurs -550 to win series before Game 6?

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

I was wondering why they were such big favorites and glad we got to see a game 7 line of +115 to analyze the previous series price.

Before game 6 they were -550 to win series at 5Dimes. Game 6 line was -250 ish. So the -550 series price would of only made sense if they'd be a huge game 7 favorite.

Am am I missing something here?

Price wasn't that far off. Clippers had to win both while Spurs only had to win one, Clippers closed +216 Game 6 at Pinny and are now -125 for Game 7. Clipper parlay comes out to +469 no-vig

Price was right on.

Thanks LT. I was doing the math a bit backwards. I see now. Line was right on. At first glance it seemed like betting -250 and +115 was a better deal than -550 but it's not. its the same.

Thanks.
