I am pleasantly surprised to be able to get out at + odds at this point!

LT what book?
it's -105 at 5dimes and GreekComment -
rake,
Look again at 5 Dimes. It's +100 in Reduced section.Comment -
it sounds right because the series does look like a toss up right now, cause if boston wins one in LA, i see them closing this out in gm 6, and if LA sweeps in LA, i see them possibly closing this out in 6, really tough to know right now, i'm sitting on +180 from several days prior to the series starting, but not sure what to do with it right nowComment -
Boston will win one of next two in LA hoopster. The Lakers were supposed to win big last night, and the fact that they couldn't put the Celts away and then failed to cover speaks volumes how this series will turn out.
And remember this is coming from someone that picked Lakers in 5.

I was looking in the other section... didn't click on "reduced"Originally posted by LT Profits
Can I bet that right until tip off tomorrow? Or will it change to -105 at midnight.Comment -
Well, Reduced will be available right until tip-off, but that doesn't mean it will stay at +100. If you expect a flood of LA money, then wait. Personally, I think +100 is a bargain at this point (in retrospect not as much of a bargain as +170 before series, but I'm a dufus).Comment -
That's bizarre, they accept bets at -105 and +100 at the same time for the same event?!
If you click on NBA, you bet it at -105 ... If you click on reduced, you bet it at +100Comment -
LT, it wasn't a blowout last night because the lakers missed 13 of 34 FTs. as a boston backer, i can say that kg and pierce combined for 8 of 35, but perhaps that is good d by the lakers. the celtics did not play d at the FT line to make the lakers miss!Originally posted by LT ProfitsBoston will win one of next two in LA hoopster.

p.s. picking the lakers in 5 was insane, and i said so BEFORE the playoffs began, you drank the kool-aid and forgot that defense wins championshipsComment -
the reduced lines are supposed to be an "extra" gimmick. Not everyone on 5dimes gets access to them I think.Originally posted by rake922Comment -
LT you mad a good play sir. Did you take LAL to win the series at first?Comment -
Rake,
They take both lines because Reduced has a $500 max.Comment -
Iwin,
Yes, I STOOPIDLY bet Lakers in Exactly 5 Games +410 before the series.Comment -
If you're confident they win one game of the next two... why not do a two tier Martingale play on the MLOriginally posted by LT ProfitsBoston will win one of next two in LA hoopster.

1000 on Celtics ML in game 4, if loss 1400 on celtics ML in game 5
If Celts fail to win one game on the road; you're out 2400... but you act like that probably won't happenComment -
FreeFall,
Yes, everybody gets Reduced. It's just that those lines have a 500 max.Comment -
okComment -
Why if I can get +100 on whole series? That way if they DON'T win in LA, I could still win with a home sweep.Comment -
Besides which Martingdale is suicide.Comment -
why wait? ur getting an even odds on a team that is up 2-1! if i wasnt a lakers fan i'd take that any day.Originally posted by rake922
here's the thing too. even if my lakers take the next 2 at staples, it will be very hard to win at the garden if kobe continues bitchin at the officials everytime a call doesn't go his way. im a lakers fan and i shldnt be saying dat but it's the truth. sad but true! he did say he's not michael jordan and he better realize that soon! cause he's not gonna get calls like how jordan used to get calls from the refs. i just don't see it! well not yet anyways.
dat said, im really hoping that kobe realizes dat he needs to change how he reacts to the officials coz itz gonna bite him in the arse in the end. costing him the championship in the process. coz i just dont see them winning at the garden not unless one or 2 more lakers shoot lights out in game 6 and/or 7. same with phil also. the whining at the officials is gonna cost him a win. we dont hear doc rivers bitchin, do we? and i think dat is very smart of him not to even go that way.
so for the current series offering... if u like the celtics, take them now at +100. coz once the celtics win the next game, ull never see dat odds again. and if celtics loses the next game or two, even better to take them again as it would even be a greater odds.
so there u go... my unbiased take after watching the first 3 games of this series.

Is this to hedge the 4-1 Lakers loss?Originally posted by LT ProfitsComment -
just to add one more point, if u think the celtics are gonna win the next game.... better to bet on dat +100 now!Comment -
You can't "hedge" a bet that's already a loser!Originally posted by pavyracer
No, I now think that the Celtics are going to win, so I think +100 up 2-1 is nice value.Comment -

No, I now think that the Celtics are going to win, so I think +100 up 2-1 is nice value. You are a wise man picking then Celtics. Better late than sorry.

my only reason for waiting is to get enough funds rounded up to play it hugeOriginally posted by mundaneComment -
Boston is clearly the better team, they played bd last night and still almost won on the road.Comment -
Why not wait until Game 5. I would guess the odds of Lakers winning series if they win Game 4 would put the Celtics in the range of +150 or so. Once that occurs, there is probably enought plus money you could hedge in Game 6 and\or Game 7. If Celtics would win Game 5 your golden. I guess the only risk is a lost bet oppurtunity if the Celtics would win Game 4. Just a thought. I am liking the Celtics here as well even if they lose both in LA.Comment -
I doubt books hang +150 Emat, even at 2-2. I would imagine they get extremely lopsided action on that. Then again, LA does have a legion of supporters.Comment -
odds makers really think lakers will sweep @ home obv with this series prices.Comment -
Might be a tad high, but its obviously has to be somewhere in between +100 (todays price) and that number. Maybe, +130 or so. I would still probably wait 1 more game.Originally posted by crazylComment -
wouldnt you? lakers undefeated at hm since end of march, boston only 2 wins on the road in the playoffs, seems fair to think the lakers will probably sweep, right?Originally posted by pat vendittoComment -
Yea, lets just hope they dont sweep at home, in fact, would love the series ended this week. So it ends in LA and all those lakerland faggots can sit there all depressed and angered going home with a loss in the finals.

lakers will not lose one at home
celts dont win on the roadComment -
except that boston won the last 2 at detroit and only lost to the lakers by 6 even though 2 of their bes 3 players combined to go 8 of 35, i expect to hear you tell us your entire bankroll is on the lakers -350 ML tonight?Originally posted by ryanXL977Comment -
they won at detroit. this isnt detroit. detroit gives up, lakers dont
celts also lost 3 in atl
3 in cleve
lakers will win all 3 at home
whether they win in boston is another story
your odds on celts to win the series, if you had waited till tomorrow, woul-d have gone up to +140 or soComment -
Not if Boston wins game 4................................Originally posted by ryanXL977
now you say "that won't happen, no chance at all"Comment
