Someone take a stab at the series price.

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 03:50 PM

pokernut, give me +220 and you got yourself a deal..

i will send 2,000 right now to ranch to hold..

LT Profits · 05-30-08, 03:53 PM

pokernut,

I'll take East +200. Your 1K to my 500?

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 03:54 PM

hey LT, stay out of it, he's dealing with me now..

ok Pokernut, i will take +200, how's that.. i will send my 2k right now to ranch.. you send 4k to ranch..

Wheell · 05-30-08, 03:55 PM

Nicky: I bet, but not with people online. I am East coast (Bronx), I vaguely remember thinking of you as West coast, but I am willing to lay Lakers -170 against East. You can get +170 at Pinnacle on the East so if you like the 170, go get it.

Let me think that one over LT

purecarnagge · 05-30-08, 03:57 PM

I'm taking Lakers over both. Reason is Celtics haven't won the road and Lakers have. Now I know Boston pulled a game out in detroit, but they gave one up at home.

Celtics seem overrated to be honest. KG is good, but he dissappears in the 4th.

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 03:57 PM

hey pokernut, you make an offer, then you change your mind.

wheel, why would i take +170 from you when poker just offered me +200

LT Profits · 05-30-08, 03:58 PM

Poker, you have until 8:35 tonight to decide or no bet.

Don't worry LT, I won't tell he could make that very same bet right now on Matchbook at about -189.8 after commission.

Your secret's safe with me.

Wheell · 05-30-08, 03:59 PM

If Poker really is offering +200 he needs professional help. Never take +170 when +200 could be had.

I will send you a PM before then with my decision

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 04:03 PM

ranch, pls stay out of this.. why do you have to tell him this? everyone is trying to outsmart each other here, it's everyone for himself.

trust me, i have my matchy out there looking at it now.. i know what's out there. i also know how much i would get if i bet DET OR BOS to win. i figured out the odds..

anyone want to offer me +200 on the EAST..

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 04:05 PM

i won this fight because everyone offering me +200 but no one wants to do it..

i could scalp back the other side so easily.. and make myself a few hundred for nothing.. but everyone thinks they are smart..

i know what odds are out there, i am looking at pinny and matchy as we speak..

poker,

why you dealing with the other guy. you made me the offer first.

DrunkenLullaby · 05-30-08, 04:06 PM

You were saying Boston would be favored, now they're a heavy implied dog and you're saying you won the fight?

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 04:10 PM

yes, boston will be the favorite IF they win big tonight. and i stick by my guns.

you dont think that line would change in a heartbeat? Bettors opinions would change quickly and everyone will jump on boston if they win big tonight.. especially the sharpies..

i will make this bet with anyone IF bos show up tongiht and win with a convincing victory, and mark my words, these lines will change quickly.. very quickly and bos will become the fav.. no doubt about it, and you can take that to the bank

lets see what happens if BOS win big tonight and close out the series.

you want to bet me BOS is the fav if they win big tonight.. how much?

make me a series price and if i like it, i will bet it..

lets hear it wheel...

What are you asking about -- the series outcome or who'll be the favorite?

I already offered you +250 if you're interested.

Send me a PM and let me know.

rake922 · 05-30-08, 04:42 PM

alot of completely clueless guys in this thread.....

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 04:48 PM

rjt,

i will take you up on that offer of +250 that BOS will become the favorite IF they blow out DET tonight, in DET.. yes, LAL are the fav right now because they are off a victory and are riding high, but IF bos blowout DET tonight, those lines will change so fast, you wont even see it..

So this bet is ONLY good if BOS blowout DET tonight be double digits or more.. or NO BET. are we on?? Let me know when you want to send the 2500 to ranch, and i will send my 1k to him right now.. just let me know when you will do it..

if they dont win tonight be double digits or more, then we both get our money back..

As answered by many smarter people before me, there is zero chance that under any circumstances Boston will be favored in the finals....unless perhaps Jeff Gilooly & co. are waiting outside Kobe's house with a tire iron.

Crows in your neighborhood should be fearful of a Boston win tonight, because if they do, they're what's for dinner.

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 05:46 PM

i just wish bos win tonight by double digits and more just so i can come in here and have each and everyone of you apologize to me.. the only reason lal are favored now is because they won 4-1 and bos still undecided.. once bos win tonight by 16 in detroit, everyone's thoughts of Bos will change and the sharpies will hammer that line so badly if LAL open up as a fav, which will NEVER happen if BOS blowout DET tonight.

why isn't rjt sending the 2500 to ranch? He disappeared because he thought about it again and realized it was a silly bet for him.

DrunkenLullaby · 05-30-08, 05:51 PM

Ganch, if you're still in this thread I have a philosophical question for you:

Is it worse to be ignorant or to refuse education?

No, not quite.

Why would I send the money now, only to have it returned in a few hours if/when the Celtics don't win by DD?

If the Celtics do win by DD, we have a bet and I will send the money.

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 06:02 PM

drunken,,

you're the one that's clueless.. i know what i am talking about, and you obviously dont.. just because the lakers -180 at matchy now, means squat. they are assuming that det and bos will go the distance.. but if boston wins tonight by 16, that laker fav will soon turn into a dog, that you can take to the bank my friend.

i called spiro an hr ago and asked him this same question, and he said the same thing. are you going to argue with spiro? yes, argue with me, cause you dont know who i am.. but it's a losing cause when you argue with spiro..

you have no idea what you are talking about my friend.

Unfortunately my bank doesn't seem to have a sense of humour, otherwise I'm sure they would get a big kick out of it....whether I name-dropped "Spiro" or not.

pokernut9999 · 05-30-08, 06:15 PM

I hope Boston wins by DD so we can see if your right.

Nicky Santoro · 05-30-08, 06:15 PM

so you think i am joking??

How about this?? If i can prove to you i spoke to spiros today regarding the next series, will you give me 500 dollars??

Now don't ignore this post.. i want an answer.. yes or no? I will have you speak to him if you want.. are we on.

i am waiting drunky..

DrunkenLullaby · 05-30-08, 08:53 PM

I honestly don't care if you spoke to him or not and I honestly do have mad respect for him as a bookie. But I also know that even if Boston blows out Det in 2H here, he still won't hang them as a favorite over LA. Why would he need to? There will be plenty of takers on LA-150 over Boston....whether I think the line SHOULD be that or not. Hell, SA would likely have been installed as a fave over Boston.

P.S. If Detroit wins game 7 by 50, they will be a favorite over LA.

Panic · 05-30-08, 09:00 PM

Goddamn. Some would think you guys have never gambled in your lives. Here will be the opening of the series price for both situations.

Boston:-160
Detroit:-120

The Lakers will not be a favorite in either situation. Ecspecially with the dominance of the home team throughout the playoffs. Good Luck, guys.

Wow, I didn't realize Pinnacle had never gambled in their lives.

You have managed to steal the crown from Nicky. Congrats!

That settles it. Panic has spoken, and since he insists that the Lakers won't be the favorite in either instance, it must be true. Thanks for clearing this up for us.

You're right, guys like Wheell and Ganch have no idea what they're talking about on matters such as this.

pokernut9999 · 05-30-08, 09:18 PM

Last I looked both Pistons and Celtics were both +200+ to win it all.

rake922 · 05-30-08, 11:46 PM

I'll take the Lakers +275 and parlay that with the Celts at +315... good payout... I win no matter what happens

LT Profits · 05-31-08, 12:23 AM

There is no question the Lakers will be favored by AT LEAST -160 (although I say it will be -180/+160), and anyone that thinks Boston will be favored in the series should quit gambling right now.
