Lakers ML in Game 5. Lakers won't lose

[imgv94]

This is one of the easiest wagers of the year.. I suggest putting them into your ML Parlays and/or just betting them S/U on the ML.

I would be floored if the Lakers lost this game in fact I think they might win by 15+.. But the Celtics seem to fight back in games so the ML is the safest way to go.

Boston is going to win the Finals in game 6 not game 5.. They are going to celebrate in front of their fans in Boston Ma.

Anyone who bets large on the Lakers after that display of down syndrome should be tested for a pulse, then shot if one shows up.

I dont know I thought they'd win today after they were almost up 30.....I guess well see if they got any heart in this game though

Check back with me after Game 5.. I'll show up in this thread if the Lakers win or lose. Will you?

So many things pointing to a Lakers victory it isn't funny.

Celtics winning two in a row on road?
Lakers losing back to back home games?
Lakers have won what 15 of their last 16 home games?

Celtics motivation level will be lower than ever.
Lakers motivation level higher than ever.

All 4 games have been close, it's not like the Celtics have been dominant. Celtics are definitely the better team but everything is pointing to a Lakers win.

[j$]

I just cant believe what happened today

[LT Profits]

Lakers motivation level higher than ever.

THAT is the biggest question mark.

You may be right, but then again, they may also be demoralized knowing that the series is now over.

[j$]

Cant get any more demoralizing then today

[rjt721]

Celtics motivation level will be lower than ever.

Why would the Celtics not be motivated to close out their first championship in 22 years?

If the Lakers win Game 5, what's the line for Game 6? Celtics -3?

I strongly doubt it.. Last game in L.A and the Lakers know they are capable of defeating the Celtics it's not like they've been getting blown out in every game.

They are taking it one game at a time..

To me what happened today is worse then losing by 50

Cause the margin for error is high.. Celtics lose it's not a big deal they go home to their fans for one maybe two more and celebrate winning the Finals in front of their home crowd.

BTW I have the same exact line as you for game 6..

[Ragnarok]

Check back with me after Game 5.. I'll show up in this thread if the Lakers win or lose. Will you?

No, I'm too scared to log into an internet forum.

Hahaha, Fuc off, at least if you're going to make a thread like this post how much you're going to lay down.

Not a hard prediction either way when the Lakers are going to be -300+ favorites ML (havn't looked yet). I just said you're retarded if you're going to bet LARGE on Kobe Byrant and the four flamingos.

yeah man it was nuts.. Celtics never gave up and the Lakers slept on their lead instead of continuing to be aggresive..

They won't be AS motivated for the same reason they weren't motivated on the road the first two rounds, because they KNOW they won't lose at home, especially with two chances.

Line for Game 6 may be Celtcs -4 or possibly -4.5, since there is no longer a popular perception that the Lakers are the better team like there was in the first two games in Boston.

I'm just stating my opinion here, I feel extremely confident about this particular situation. I'm still undecided about how much I'm going to risk on this one and wanted to hear some thoughts and opinions from some people here before I decide on an amount.. Do you have a problem with that too?

[j$]

It being Fathers Day...Lakers win

I do actually. You state in your title that the Lakers won't lose and then the first thing you say in your post is that it's "one of the easiest wagers of the year".

One of the easiest wagers of the year? God damn man, if I had a thought like that I'd certainly better be wagering large before sharing it. If you're going to post a thread like this have some balls and cough up what you're risking. Better be large or your opinion is worthless.

[betplom]

I still can't bring myself to bet a cent on the Lakers, they let me down so many times last season it still hurts, I swore I'd never bet them again after watching them stink the joint out in games they should have won handily.

No disrespect meant towards your play but the Lakers have cost me more money than any other team in the NBA (last seasons losses). I'll be so pissed at myself if I bet them and lose.
For me it's just not worth the headache.

Well I'm not you.. Everybody is different and doesn't operate according to hoyle.. Instead of discussing negative crap why don't you mention your opinion on the game..

And again I'm going to have a sizable wager on this game no question about it. Game is three days away so there is plenty of time.

[Ragnarok]

And again? No. This is the first time you've mentioned that you're going to even lay money on the game. Congrats.

Personally I wouldn't touch this game right now. Maybe things will change. I can't see myself betting on the Lakers ML after this disaster, but throwing it in a small parlay isn't out of the question. Will I thrown down large? No, I'm not Kwame Brown's retarded twin brother. Is it the easiest wager of the year? No, I'm not Kwame Brown's retarded twin brother.

If I were to make a prediction I'd say the Lakers do win the game and the cover is borderline based on if the giant oafs make their free throws or not. But then again, I'm not the one who started a thread saying it was one of the easiest wagers of the year. So the heat is on you my friend.

One of the easiest wagers of the year definatly qualifies as one of your biggest bets of the year. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to ask how much money exactly you're wagering on one of the easiest wagers of the year. It's so easy after all.

Understood. But the Celtics weren't on the verge of winning a title during their early round struggles against Atlanta and Cleveland. I think one could argue that with the Lakers on the ropes, the sense of urgency for Boston to end this right now will be pretty high. It's unlikely the Lakers would win one game in Boston, let alone two, but I wouldn't want to go against Kobe more times than I had to. Celtics would be wise to go for the kill in Game 5 while the Lakers are still feeling the psychological effects from tonight's monumental collapse.

I watched the entire game tonight and I still can't believe what I saw. WTF happened? The Celtics didn't even really chip away at the lead -- they went from down 15 with under 4 min. left in the 3Q to down 2 heading into the 4Q. Lakers go from up 20 midway through the 3Q to up only 2 at the end of the quarter, and Phil Jackson calls only 1 timeout during that stretch? Amazing. Nice work, Phil.

[imgv94]

Lakers simply fell asleep at the wheel.. They stopped being agressive and took the lead for granted..

With 7:28 remaining in the 3rd the Lakers had 68 points.
With 7:40 remaining in the 4th the Lakers had 75 points.

wow thats amazing..

[rjt721]

And Laker fans are the worst. Way to pull your team through a difficult time. The crowd couldn't have been less of a factor in the 4Q. Embarrassing. They need to start banning celebrities from the games and let all the real Laker fans, I mean Mexicans, in the game.

I hate most Laker fans dude, they suck. Agree 100% Crowd gave up too pretty sad..

[jjgold]

Guys Boston has really beaten them 4 straight games so it is obvious they are superior.

Why not 5??

I'm going to wait to see what Danzing's play is at EOG before I place my bet. He is a high roller according to picoman.

Nice call but I know why you were so adamant about this as I have a decent memory:

I still say those are great bets but it's farrrr from over!

Nice call.
