Question If you took the Celtics series.....do you hedge?

Guys, would like some opinions. Took the Celtics series for +178. Lakers are now +148. Would you hedge here to guarantee a profit? Or go balls to the wall and just hang your hat on the Celtics? Obviously if the Lakers win the first game at home that number goes away.

Besides Kobe the rest of the Lakers are looking a little wet behind the ears.

LA has yet to beat boston in the regular season + this series, i would let it ride with boston being up 2-0. steal a game in LA and it's a wrap for sure.

Thats what I'm leaning towards. They really only have to steal one game in LA to be in good shape.

Vegas is not expecting the Celtics to win in LA with the moneyline around -450. With the Lakers being a pick in Boston, vegas is expecting the Lakers to win a game in Boston. You've got to pay attention to that. I would hedge and lock in a profit.

this money line is gonna explode with Vegas trying to lure in all those laker backers to even the money...don't waste your hard earned dollars, this series probably won't go back to boston

I have celtics at +172,+174,+177 for the series. I plan to hedge out about half of it and let the remainder ride. I believe they take 1 in LA and then this thing is over but you never know.....play it safe.

Nothing wrong with locking in some profit.

Looks like greed might work out this time around.....aside from a Laker miracle.
