Top Cappers: What is the better play here?

**robzilla** · 06-09-08, 05:06 AM

i think the lakers only lose 1 at home, and then boston comes home and finishes it.

Awww I have an opinion but I can't give it because I'm not on the all-capper list

just take Boston + points every game in la and u will come out a winner. I wish they had a series bet on the best of 3 games in la. Celtics would be in the high +200 low +300 thatd be sweet

I think the home team wins every game. So if you want to sweat out a game 7 go for it.

1st off the series price can be had a lot cheaper , like at 5dimes , -135

For real $$$ I'm not a fan of the Martingale , it is for small stakes IMO. It would be for me too nerve wrecking if the lakers won all 3 at home and you were left with Martingaling the 6th.

Of the two options you offer , i would bet on Boston Series at a better price then you posted

BOL

If you think that then bet them moneyline each game and you will win more with just 1 win , dont even need two.

Sports are crazy, watch the Lakers win the next 4

Reversal of fortune when LA gets all the calls and this is stretched 7 games. I guess the question you have to ask yourself is, if a game 7 arrives, will the officials bite the whistle on both sides?

I have the Lakers to win the series at -135

Take Celts for the series at -162
or
Martingale the celts as dogs on the road for the next 3 games

Thanks

1. Martingale
If you think they win the series, you wouldnt want to martingale the 3 away games. The thing with Martingale is you need way more than 3 games to Martingale at a considerable edge. What if the Celts win games 6/7 to win the series? You win nothing then.

2. Celtics -162
If you take the Celts now at -162, you know you cant be beat in LA. You then also know if for some reason it comes back to Boston at 3-2, with LA winning all 3 home games, that you can hedge this bet with a Lakers ML(whom would be a pkem or dog) in games 6 and 7.

3. What I would do?
I would go with a 3rd option. I am very, very certain the Lakers win game 3. If you wait until then, you can probably get the celtics at -130ish or better for the series. So if your putting one unit on that, heres what you do. Put a half unit on the Celtics +10 if you can get it at that. If it loses, you know your series price is going to drop from -162 to at least -120. Thats the half unit. You then bet the -120 at 1.8 units to win 1.5.
If the half unit on the Celts +10 wins, then you use that money won to cover any extra juice from your series bet that may raise slightly over -170
