NBA playoff thread

[Macpotata]

Don't mind a bit of bball. Even if it is rigged to the max. Good entertainment just like WWE. Cavs blowing a 26 point 3qtr time lead yesterday made me piss myself.

Anyway any of you lot going to have a wager on the playoff games? I like the Utah Jazz. Thought those campaigners would win today but forgot to get on. Would have put pocket change on anyway. Backed the blazers despite the odds going up and supposedly players that were missing. Not sure if they did miss but sometimes it's bs these reports. I put a massive 5 bucks on them.

Anyway, who's getting on the silly season?

 

[Macpotata]

I like the jaZz as a team and to maybe get past the clippers that's all. Not to win the comp.

Bring on Pinnacle's player props. So much money to be made.

Do you middle these? If so, with which companies? Cheers.

Yep. In the past I have used TAB but they don't allow me to bet online now so it's inconvenient.

Unibet, Sportsbet, Crownbet, Luxbet, Tab Touch and UBET should have player exotics. Just monitor the movement with pinnacle and act accordingly.

Sweet! I already middle, but am banned from a few of the sites you mentioned and didn't know Pinnacle did player props for playoffs, do you say it is profitable because of the superior odds or are Pinnacle's lines off compared to others or vice versa.

 

[X_box_X]

Pinnacles lines are reflected by the volume of money being staked on those markets.

The money maker is when the smaller books who offer odds on the same or similar lines don't move in the direction of Pinny.

Last year there always seemed to be a massive amount of money staked on Lebron to get over 9.5 boards in each game of the finals. Pinny started by offering odds of $1.925. Other books offered $1.90. Lebron going under 9.5 boards was sometimes paying $2.40 with Pinny. Pinny would then change his line to 10.5 boards to open up a middle.

WH are offering $2 for GSW to win the championship - Max $100. (Sounds great)

Any ideas how to turn this into some risk free cash?

Just lay them on the exchange. They're $1.76 there so not much point though. it's not really great value and then you can't really barrack for them to choke which is all you should be watching it for.

Lux has money back if you lead at 3/4 time but lose - anyone know how often this happened in the regular season?

You could hedge by taking the field @ 2.15 (bet365) for a small profit. Or as nooblet said, just take the $2 for Warriors.

 

[Trojan90]

Anywhere we can bet on 7 game series results?

 

[Macpotata]

Sportsbet has all that stuff. I discovered a good bet after I looked it up for you.

Series betting

Cavs -1.5 vs Pacers. $1.36. Pacers could pinch a couple at best IMO but to go 7 with the Cavs or beat them, I don't think so.

 

[Macpotata]

Cavs $1.22 SU game 1 vs the pacers seems like a decent bet. Hard to see them losing at home.

Yeah, i managed to find these.
Im trying to find to ways to profit here. eg. Back Cavs 4-0 @ $4.7 and then back Indiana in each of game 1-4. Just trying to work out some of the theory and math behind it.

 

[Trojan90]

To add to the discussion, would love Kawhi to lead the Spurs to the title. Obviously i think GSW are the team to beat. Also like Utah as a team, $2.84 good odds to get past LA.

I'll be cheering for Boston in the East, although if GSW take out the West it would take an in form Cavs to stop them.

Note, interesting MVP race this year. $34 for Kawhi seems value, surely Westbrook wins it though?

 

[Macpotata]

Westy almost certainly. Only way he won't get it is if the campaigners rig it.

 

[chunkylover]

Harden is the MVP but they will give it to Westbrook. Its that sort of league

How and why is NBA rigged?

Because my team doesn't win every game. Same as the AFL.
