My friend bet $100 on the Thunder winning the championship when it was 14/1. What would be the best hedge bet to monetize on this right now? I feel like this is the best time to do it.
if the bet is only $100 it really doesn't make much sense to do anything at this point. There's only 4 teams left right now and the odds aren't any better than that if you're trying to hedge especially if you're going to choose a heavy fav.
Post from Kwame in another thread. just an fyi with the updated odds <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">NBA Champ updated<br><br>Cavaliers 11/10<br>Thunder 8/5<br>Warriors 7/2<br>Raptors 35/1<br><br>NBA series prices updated<br><br>Tor +800<br>Cle -1400<br><br>OKC -265<br>GS +225</p>— Jeff Sherman (@golfodds) <a href="https://twitter.com/golfodds/status/735459850856108032">May 25, 2016</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Basketball is back and I love it. 76ers +9 - I think Philly will be much improved this season, and OKC will be much worse than people think. The Thunder are pretty thin, and will prove they shouldn't be a 9 point favorite on the road against any team as the season goes on. Mavs +5.5 - One strategy I have been employing for basketball is fading the public, especially on road dogs - has proven to be pretty profitable historically. The Mavs are receiving just 25% of spread bets in this one. Nets +11 - same reasoning as Mavs Rockets -6/Rockets -1.5 1Q - maybe a bit of a homer pick, but I don't think the public quite understands how different this offense will be under D'Antoni. I see us lighting up the scoreboard against a weak Lakers team. Also leaning Grizz +1 at home, will wait to see if line moves. See public is heavy on Minny, have the T-Wolves already arrived to the point where they should be favored on the road against Memphis? Are they a victim of pre-season over-hype?
Cleveland -3 - Wished I came in when it was at -2 earlier but oh well! I'mma stay away from the Rockets this season. All offense and no defense teams are hard ass hell to predict. Foolish of me to have thought the Rokets were going to destroy the Lakers.
over has good value with the rockets this year more times than not. I've learned too many times betting them SU isn't worth the stress anymore haha
Pacers/Bucks Under 212 looks enticing... probably just going to adopt a contrarian strategy ROS. Fading the public with Nugs and Magic tonight.
GOAT Sunday. NFL, Westworld, Planet Earth 2, and a nice little Pacers +400 Kings +130 parlay to save my week.
anyone else surprised to see Rockets -12 tomorrow? I know Lakers have some guys out, but vegas really seems to respect us this year
NBA outlines plan for nationwide sports betting http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...s-leagues-pushing-national-legalized-wagering
So, got into betting a bit again, nothing serious...but it's a reason enough to revive this thread In Pistons @Hawks, I took -2.5 DET. Detroit were awful at playing away, but all their losses were before the trade. Atlanta has Dedmon and Collins to slow down Pistons's frontcourt, but Blake and Andre should still get their numbers.
How will new-look CLE do against BOS??? how are they only 4.5 point dogs in BOS... tempted to take CLE.
Since Cleveland's offense is still work in progress to put it mildly, I think they don't stand a chance against best defense in the league. They have to figure it out on the fly while being disrupted by very motivated Irving&co. Cleveland will probably mount a comeback, but anything other than at least 3 point win for Boston would be a big surprise for me.
