    Highly doubt you will find a price that makes that better than just taking them ML in every game.

    Seems they want Booker to be the future. I do think Bucks win a couple in Mil though. Booker strikes me as too aggressive/arrogant to be a good "Face" of the league. Great player, but hard to imagine him being the guy that attracts new fans or makes it "fun".

    A lot of talk about how the Bucks are shooting poorly. You have to also give credit to the Suns, they have a great team defense.

    No way Chris Paul lets this happen. I have no idea if it will be a sweep or what , but the Suns are winning it.

    ~~~
    Concerning Booker, I agree-- Great player but anyone would be hard-pressed to find him charismatic.

    Interesting call by LakerBoy, SBR's resident NBA wiz and POTM.

    If the Bucks are going to squeeze a win, next Sunday would be the game.


    Both the Bucks and The Suns had a relative stroll in the park to The finals thanks to injuries
    and depleted opposition squads.

    The Bucks look like "deer in headlights" much like the The Clips in the Western Conf finals.
    Hard to imagine the Bucks getting 2 Wins in this series.
    The Suns know how to run up a double digit lead and then hold serve.


    Good Luck To Everyone.

    I don't understand this post at all, you must have me confused with someone. The only opinion I really ever had on this series was from before the playoffs, that Chirs Paul might finally get paid for his King Flu work.

    Taking the Bucks series now just to hedge a possible game 7 is not a good move, like I said, for a number of reasons. There are going to be better ways to approach it as well.

    But you need better odds than +385 since you are also betting on a 7 game series there. There are too many outs for the bet to lose.

    Yeah, this thread a bad betting look in my opinion. Even if it works out and some kind of .5 unit profit is squeezed out, it still doesn't make it a good strategy.

    Plenty of bad bets and bad bet ideas win and I think taking the Bucks +385 for the sole purpose of hedging a game 7 is a bad bet idea.

    given the spread in championship odds
    maybe better off laying ML on Bucks in games 3 & 4 than bothering with the future odds.

    -180 feels like a cheap line

    would be catastrophic for them to lose

    cp3 is more like 31 not 36

    ayton pulls down huge offensive boards

    the chris middleton show is about to be cancelled
    What calls? Giannis was intentionally put at the free throw line. The Suns can't stop him. He's the best player on the court. The Bucks are gonna shoot more free throws every single game from here on out. Watch.

    I actually like what I saw from the Bucks in the two games in PHX. Phx cannot contain them. Mlwakee is also hustling more to the ball, and the bounces on the loose balls are going Phx's way. Some very weird bounces in this series so far. But I think Mlwakee is just too big. They are crashing the glass hard. They are the more physiically dominant team. The longer this series goes, the harder it will be for the suns to win.

    But the Bucks must win both games at home, which I expect them to.

    I have Bucks +320 for the series from one series ago, and will be doubling down on it most likely.

    How many layups did Holiday miss from 2 feet away? At least 5-6. Literally the easiest shots that I can make. Those shots weren't affected by a rim presence like Ayton. He was very bad. I don't expect that to happen again.

    Stupid bet. For Milwaukee to have any chance to win the series they will have to win games 3 and 4. Far better value if you think Milwaukee wins the series to bet them to win games 3 and 4 on the spread them taking the series price.

    The spread for games 3 and 4 will be less than 5 points, if you think Milwaukee is live on the series there is far better value betting them to cover games 3 and 4 then taking them at +385 to win the series and waiting 2 weeks to maybe get cash if Giannis’s knee holds up.

    Holiday is overrated as hell, in some of the games in previous series he was doing the same shit.

    Middleton will be better at home. Him and Giannis will need to carry the rest of them.

    I mean sure you can say he's overrated, but I don't expect an NBA player of his calliber, even if he's just solid, to miss layups. This is the nba. That's an anomoly. That won't happen again, trust me.

    You don't have "the books" data. They are professionals.
    It's all balanced and it will move more if it becomes imbalanced.
