Your theory is pure garbage.
They dont give a fuck about parlaying game 6 ML & game 7.
They want action. At this stage of the Finals that want lopsided action. Go back to betting 101 school.



Talk all the shit you want, but please answer one SIMPLE question...

If the series line has no correlation to the game 6 and 7 ML's, what is stopping someone from taking a series line, and then betting the opposite ML's to guarantee profit?

Choose your answer carefully...

THIS is what I posted in my thread before the series started...

I am not saying which team is going to win the series, or any of that but I am specifically talking about the approximate price here.

Let's say the Celtics are up 3-2 in the series going back to L.A. for games 6 and 7. The Celtics STILL will not be a big fave in the series due to the fact the Lakers will be -240ish in both games at home. (parlay two -240s and you get roughly pk em) Therefore, the new series price will be roughly:

Celtics -110
Lakers -110

Now let's see DWA1, did I just pull a rabbit out of my ass and get lucky?

Must of...

If u looked at the series line to begin with or at any point following the ML for each game then of course u could have posted -110 with Boston up 3-2 going back to LA. The bottom line is this dude tell me right now out 100 bets how many are coming in on LA vs BOSTON.
I can tell you first hand the answer. Let us see how smart you are.
Do you think if they went LA -120 and put a little tease out of there they would get better action on Boston +100 ? They would. PK is saying this series is over. It is not going game 7. Funny how thing LA is going to win by more than 7 in game 6 too. I wish I could book your bets dude.

Talk about a mumbled attempt to put an educated thought together.

Way to dodge my question in post 29, but it's ok. If I were you, I would do everything I humanly could to dodge I question I had no answer to.

Touche Hoopskingo, touche.

Ranger,

I got my Lakers series price at -180 before Game 1, what you will do if you were in my position now? Thanks!

Well first off it depends how big of a bet it was for you and your confidence in the Lakers to win game 6. If you believe the Lakers win game 6 (which I do) I would let it ride and hedge in game 7. The game 7 Celtics price will be far higher then the -180 you got so you could hedge game 7 to guarantee a decent profit. If you REALLY want to squeeze something out of the bet and minimize your loss, then simply take the Celtics -110 series price and cut your losses.

All depends on how big of a bet it is for you, and your confidence in the Lakers to win game 6 alone. GL Europa

EUROPA by Rangerz added calculation the Lakers will win it all.
Why wouldn't you add the Lakers at -110 equal to the -180 and lower you cost avg down ? Rangerz has the crystal ball and knows Phil is going to -48-0.

This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with who I personally think wins the game. This is a conversation about prices and math alone and is a conversation you have no business being in.

Try coming up with an answer to post 29, and then come back and try your luck again. Until then, keep dodging an unanswerable question.

Not much, less than one hundred bucks since i am a recreational player beside NFL Playoffs which i bet $2-300 a game. What will you do if you had 100 bucks on -180 series price? Thanks again, Ranger!

To add, I NEVER EVER, EVER make those kinds of ridiculous statements and claim to know who is going to win on a game by game basis. Hell, I don't even consider myself a good game by game capper by any means and I am very honest on how I make my money gambling.

Keep talking on issues you have no idea about bud.

Well if your series bet is nothing more then an average game bet, I would just let it ride. Personally, I usually wager 1-2 units on a game by game basis but when it comes to series wagers, I will put down 5 units or more so in my circumstances a series bet is a big play and I handle it a little differently.

But if your wager is nothing more then an average game bet, I would let it ride and then MAYBE hedge a lil in game 7. (if they get there)

Did you not read a single thing I just posted? NO BET is a sure thing but over the long haul I have done very well making money on future bets, not on betting a game by game basis.

Who gives a flying fuck how many wagers would be on the Lakers series? If the books adjust the price to one that would be 20 cents to either direction of pk em, they are subjecting themselves to someone who would take a series wager and then bet the opposite side on a game by game basis to guarantee profit.

(the idea I spoke of in post 29, and the question you STILL failed to answer)

I am done talking to you Hoopskingo, GL with trying to squeeze something out of that miserable little thing you call your life.

The series bet is 4x higher than my regular units but i regarded your poitns as sound advice, think i will take a ride in Game 6 and see what happens there.

OHHHHH well since you said your average NFL bet was $200-300 I assumed the $100 bet here was a little above average. If the bet is 4x higher then an average basketball bet I MIGHT consider a small hedge in game 6 but like I said earlier, it all depends on your level of confidence on how much you want to put on the line for the rest of the series. If you aren't confident you could accept the loss on either side and bring down your risk to well under $100. 

Bunch of ways to go at it.

U continually insult me while I am ask U for proof.
How bout U go fuck yourself.
Keep cashing those fake tickets.
Maybe in your real life U are the Loser.
U need covers.com to fulfill the reality in life.
Change your underwear sometime and come out of your parents basement. No way you hold a real job anywhere.

Kobe shoot the light-out GAME#5...why didn't he do it earlier....why so late in the game????

Boston are so together as a UNIT!!!

Is this NBA setup, but Lakers were playing hard, diving for loose ballz, risk injuries......don't think WWF!!!!!!!

If Boston continue playing w/ this confident, and everyone seems healthy.......Boston to loss 2 games in a row...is tough!!!!!!

Wow....tough decision, but very very tasty Series -110 for both now....Boston get 1 more GAME!!!!!
