Eastern Conference Finals (Playoff): Chicago Bulls(1) Vs Miami Heats(2)

why not go with the vegas line?

 

Translation: I now am no longer sure, if I ever was, that the Bulls will win.

It's actually a bit ironic.

 

Anyway, enough with the senseless betting chat.

I like the Heat in 6. It will be a very fun series to watch

 

you fail

where did I declare that I was 100% sure the Bulls were going to win the series?

 

you know it was senseless the minute you brought it up first

thanks for admitting that

 

Maybe I was confused by how you tried to play detective with your analysis of the two teams. Maybe I was confused why how you tried so hard to convince others that the Bulls would win. Maybe it was the amount of time you spent that convinced me

$50 for $50 tipjar bet still up for you. Don't tell me because there's a $50 bet, all your mindless thoughts on the match-ups just went out the window and it's not worth arguing that the Bulls would win anymore.

I gotcha, though. It's cool, homes. We still good.

 

you know anytime people talk about gambling odds has to be factored in because there are favorites and underdogs no matter what..
would gambler like you bet straight up against a team favored to win?
if there's a website who offers even cash for favorites and underdogs point me to it...
if you're sure so 100% sure your heats is gonna win then don't worry about losing the money line bet..
just take out the gambling talk once and for all.. stop daring people to put even money on the underdog cause it's lame..

but it's still worth arguing that the Bulls have a chance to win even they're underdogs..
I've given my opinion why I think the Bulls have a chance to win and then give your opinion outside of gambling..

 

I know that odds are what makes gambling. The betting line must always be considered, though, no matter how confident you are with a team. I didn't mean to come off as daring. I'm just saying that if anyone ever saw me typing paragraphs about why one team is better than another and they told me that the team I thought to be favorites was actually the underdog in betting, that would be something for me to think about.

 

And overall I don't gamble much besides my occasional trips to Reno. I just enjoy watching basketball. I also voted on the series poll. I'm just not the type of poster that goes out of his way to explain to others why types a certain player's length and speed is a disadvantage when playing against so and so. I watch the game and I imagine others do too. I know what to expect from who. That's all I'm saying.

 

fair enough

 

but there's really nothing wrong with that.. that's what makes the bbs fun.. if not for that, this thread will be empty with only the poll results to show for..

barkley could have simply said the defending champions are going to win but he justified why he thinks the mavs were gonna win and that was good for tv and he was right and owned all the so called ESPN experts at the end.. did he bet on it? I don't know but him betting on it doesn't make him any more right or wrong..

 

Yeah, I know it earns those like Barkley bragging rights. It's just not for me.

Anyway, we'll see which comes through soon enough

 

BULLS in 7

14/16 of the ESPN guys picked the Heat.

 

the heat would have lost if it was unanimous.

 

They all picked the Lakers to beat Dallas.

 

it's an interesting matchup and i'm not really sure which way to go.

The heat will have to pick up their rebounding...they don't have to win in that area, but at least keep it close. Bosh will have to step it up also because if he doesnt and they lose, he will be the target.

should be a fun series.

 

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned.. so I'll just throw it out there,
It's the Heat, not Heats

 

didn't you hear Lebron took his talents to South Beach?
