    Heat / Bucks Series Line?

    Any guesses on what this line will be? Don't want to say it's a "Lock", but there is a 99.9% chance that Miami wins this series. Even if the Big 3 all get hurt, Miami still wins a best of seven. I've seen this pathetic Bucks team all year and this should be quick and painless. Kinda like getting interest on a money market account - the profit won't be much but it should be "free money". Thoughts?

    -5000 or more

    But the Bucks play the Heat tough overall so might be lower....

    Hopefully its lower based on the past few years but the Bucks are such a trainwreck right now I feel the line is edging upward everyday. For them not to win a few games recently to catch Boston for the seven just shows how much of a mess they are right now - infighting, injuries, etc.

    Something like -5000/+3000. Unbettable. Crazy to lay 50 to 1 and almost as crazy to bet on the Bucks.

    Game 1 will look something like Heat -13, give or take. Yes?

    Heat will run away with game by 1 by 20+, just like last year in round 1.

    If Atlanta wins the 5th seed, the Brookyln series line should be excellent value!

    Books will make sure to set the line so its un-bettable, even for parlays.

    I would say if by some miracle Bucks take the lead in the series at some point, then maybe the price could be somewhat reasonable but just can't see that happening.

    Maybe. But what do you think the line will/should be?

    It will be -6000/+3000 and there will be no value on the +3000 unless you bring a gun to game 1 and shoot Lebron. I think the fair line is actually about the Heat -10000/Bucks +10000 (or Heat 99% Mil 1%).

    Spurs were -2000 vs. Jazz and Clippers last year. Swept both series. Heat will be at least -3000

    I wonder what the 2-way line on a sweep would be. Maybe even money?

    Might as well push all in Game 1 Heat ML if you're going to bet into that chalk.

    Note: these idiots have no clue. Pinny opener could be Heat-14 it wouldn't surprise me.

    anyone that bets either side into that juice needs their head examined

    i think the bucks win one of the 2 home games if larry sanders is healthy, 4-1 series seems slightly more likely than 4-0, getting + odds on either of those might be a good bet since those are realistically the only 2 possible outcomes

    When one side is heavily juiced it's often like that. I mean bwin is not a great book but don't expect +8000 for milwaukee if miami open -10000 at 5dimes or Pinny.

    But yeah, betting on either side at this point is suicidal.

    Like that strategy - Take Miami in Game One. If by some miracle the Bucks win one of the first 2 in South Beach, the odds might then be reasonable enough to take the Heat for the series. -10K series for the Heat is insanity but will be an easy win for a very minimal return. Thanks guys for the input.

    those are some soft lines @bwin. I would parlay game 1 and 2 and hit it big. gotta think their off at least 3-4 points. Miami will likely be -14 or -15 for game 1.

    Everyone will be looking to hammer Heat, so books are going to make it that you'll have to put your whole balance on it to win anything decent. And then your money will be tied up for a week+.

    -EV unless you want to add it onto a parlay.

    neither one?

    i can't imagine they stick both of them at -110

    money line for the milwaukee games will be in the -260 range for each, so that implies right about a 50% chance of the heat sweeping vs the bucks winning 1

    I will take bucks + anything game 1. Heat will struggle in that game. That's the nba script.

    Heat don't match up particularly well with the Bucks.
