    OKC Series +400 Melo digs deep
    There is too much h8 against Melo.
    Take a look at the headlines. All the armchair short memory quippers
    demand his benching, and speak of him as if he's garbage. This is
    the kind of junk talk that motivates not only the star himself, but
    his teammates to get him going. It's that bad. Regardless of how many
    minutes Anthony gets tonight, the difference between 26 or 32 won't
    matter. What matters is Melo saying enough is enough. You even see
    so-called professional sports writers complaining Melo doesn't pass..
    when he's never been a passer and always averaged 1-3 apg max.
    You see them lamenting his lack of defense... as if he's supposed to
    focus on defense. His DRB's are in-line career.
    Checkout the latest stats of Carmelo Anthony. Get info about his position, age, height, weight, draft status, shoots, school and more on Basketball-Reference.com


    Another issue is the Thunder have now demonstrated twice they can beat
    the Jazz even if Melo is a zombie. What does that tell you? It should
    tell you that maybe the Jazz aren't so rock solid.
    They did not play like men in Game 5 - they played like punks who couldn't believe
    they were going to win a series, or started thinking about partying...
    then proceeded to poop their shorts. What's this tell you about Quin Snyder, hmm?

    If OKC finds the mustard jar again - and Melo's bones aren't locking up,
    the naysayers could be in for a big surprise.

    stars shine in the darkness..
    stars have pride that kicks in out of nowhere.

    OKC Series +400 is where the value is.
    They are +240 tonight, Gm7 they won't be +160.
    Not a big bet, of course... at +400, it sure doesn't have to be.

      He means odds won't be better than right now if you think okc wins the series as opposed to betting them 2 games in a row to win

        That's how you would do it? You don't individually bet them two times in a row. You bet the first game, and then you roll it over onto the second.

        This is kindergarten stuff.

          using the odds +240 game or +400 series
          bet 100 to win 240
          or bet 100 to win 400 less the hedge cost
          not exact, but look at the (70) [160/-110] differential as value.
          For example if the Jazz are +120 to win Gm7
          you have to make 240 to pocket win from Gm6
          Jazz can go to (-167) and 400 gets your 240
          but Jazz will not be -167 after losing Gm6 and heading to OKC
          so the Series +400 has more value than Gm6 alone.
          looking at the quick 400-240= 160 puts you near this spot
          so a quick decision can be made which bet has more value.

            Yes rollover but the OP believes the odds won't be at +160 for game 7

            I may take a stab tonight only bc foster the fixer has been deployed to this game

              +240 and roughly -212 will make a two-game parlay equaling +400.

              So, the question is will OKC be higher or lower than -212 in game seven.

              If you believe the number is higher, you should just bet +400.
              If you believe the number is lower, you should parlay games six and seven together.

                Jazz would probably be +160.

                  Dude, of course they're not going to be +160 at home in a game seven.

                  Parlaying those numbers (+240 and +160) would come out to +784.

                  He was adding those numbers together to get +400, which makes no sense.

                      It would explain my abnormally small penis, but no... I'm not Asian.

                          Giant in your scenario, you have to win both games
                          and have exposure to a total loss in Gm7
                          in mine you have no exposure to Gm7 and can walk
                          away with a better payout than +240.

                            How are you planning on getting your +400?

                              Not. Just want to beat the line on the Gm6, which it does.
                              If we see Gm7 I hedge to an undetermined degree depending on
                              factors at the time.
                              The +400 bet is not important to me but I like the angle and want a bump
                              if they win tonight.

                                Better off just betting the game individually.
                                You can get +248 at 5dimes.

                                Whatever you do, best of luck, snowball.

                                      Thanks Giant. I actually did just bet the game at the time
                                      because Nitro didn't have a series line up anyway.

                                        westbrook was let off his leash because they were down 25 in the 2nd half. he got lucky and made shots he usually bricks. hopefully he will think hes good again and take another 39 shots. if so utah wins easy

                                          Anthony: 7 points and 3 rebounds, and his -19 in 26 mins the worst of anyone by some distance.

                                          Billy Donovan said all season he had complete faith in him because he's "proven". The problem with saying shit like that is you box yourself into a corner. Mins should be earned on merit, not pre-season expectations.

                                                28 million. Melo has a player option. No brainer.....just like Sammy Preski for signing him.
                                                The following year, I wouldn`t be surprised if he is out of league.
                                                Nice golden parachute Melo.

                                                  Anthony stunk and George also stunk.. terrible passing, tired play,
                                                  Westbrook and the role players kept them in it to the end, but
                                                  the team needs to make some changes. Melo needs to go.

                                                  I did make it clear this bet was not important so hopefully nobody
                                                  went big on the ML.

                                                    I read somewhere Carmelo had 2 or 3 assists THE ENTIRE SERIES vs. the Jazz. The most overrated basketball player in 30 years
