I take that back. Those odds are with sportsbook.com so it is a lose-lose situation with me

frankie,
if you want to also, you can get more than +176.. just go to matchy and make an offer right now at +182 and i guarantee you it will be accepted.. that means you will get +178.36, which is 2.5 cents better than your +176.
if you were putting in only 50 bucks, i wouldn't tell you to do it, but when you bet 1k, you are making an extra 24 bucks if it wins. hey, 24 bucks is 24 bucks.. it's a sushi meal for you.. every dollar adds up frankie salami.
frankie, even at +176, i would be very cautious and would be keeping an eye on the cops because you dont want to get arrested for stealing, and that is what you are doing with the +176 on Boston, IT'S CALLED STEALING. that price is a steal, frankie.
bos could easily be favored in this series...

you're not so bad yourself, cause you're on the celts. that's the sharp side. you are getting a +176 instead of -120 which they should be. if that's not value, i dont know what is..
i feel sorry for the people who are betting Lakers.. even if they win, it's still a sucker bet, sorry boys.. how can you lay -190 facing the best team in the NBA since tip off in November. home court, best record vs west teams in nba. and lay -190.. wow.. that takes balls.
the only reason frankie the lakers are favored is because if the books made celts -125, guess what would happen.. books would have to close shop if lakers wins. 98% of their action will be on lakers and all from the squares.. they have to balance their books frankie salami..
good luck on bet. i will be on same side as you..

Nicky , if we ran a book we could hang Lakers -130 and clean up I bet it would be 10:1 or more on the Lakers

Franky,
I havent read the thread other than with what you said in your first post. This is a win either way. The line is fuked. Lakers are a great team but after Ive looked at it shouldnt be favored. This is whats going to happen for the first game.(Now I cant determine exact odds) but Celtics win game one, Odds shift from celts being dogs to them being favs...you arb and thats it. Its fuking so simple to make money these days...but somehow everyones a brokedick

you see frankie, this is why we couldn't do this.. too risky.. do we really want to book 10:1 on one team. we couldn't take a hit like this.. we'd be hurt badly if we lose. so what we have to do is exactly what the books are all doing on this series. we have to make it -190 so we dont get flooded with lakers action all on one side. we have to protect ourselves. we dont want to lose 100 dimes on this..
this is what the books are doing.. they know it's -120 the real line, but they cannot do this.. they have to protect themselves. everyone wants to bet the lakers.. no one wants to be cheering for RONDO, KENDRICK PERKINS, JAMES POSEY and company. they want to cheer KOBE.. so they make it -190 and hope they take their customers take LAL, which is what they're doing..

and there's your ticket to why the LAL are -190.. because if they made them -120, they would be gambling and they'd be sweating a 10:1 ratio on LAL.. and books don't want this. .this is how books go out of business.. they get greedy and want to make money fast..
but evening out their books in this series at LAL -190 does even it out and this is why it's -190 and not BOS -125..
frankie, we got ourselves a good bet here. now let's win it..

Not a bad bet, if the Celts win the first game you can scalp the series. I did that a couple of times in the playoffs too.

IF bos win game 1, i'd rather hold on to my bet. you're up 1-0 and 1 home win away from being up 2-0 and and getting +180..
whereas if BOS win game 1 and you scalp it.. I believe BOS will be -140/+130 for the series now (approx)
so you take LAL +130 and if you originally bet 1k on the series, you are guaranteed approx 250 bucks..
i'd rather take my chances at winning 1800 than guaranteeing myself 250 bucks.. thank you very much..
why not keep it.. you're up 1-0 and 1 home win away from up 2-0.. and cashing in 1800, instead of 250..
