Default Preseason Odds on Spurs 9/2

I took these odds at the start of the season. How am I looking as of today with a split at Suns? Should I count my money or am I in trouble?

I wouldn't be counting your money right now, but I wouldn't write it off yet either. This series is far from over although I do like your chances.

Spurs are in a good position to win this series. Too optimistic thinking they could steal the first 2 games on the road.

I like my chance since Dallas took the gaspipe.

Up 2-1, I feel like I have a winner as of today. I think the Spurs have the Suns number again. Too much Timmy D

I took spurs to win the west at +440 in february. I hedged a very little on suns to win the west before yesterdays game.

I don't think Utah/GS has any shot.

Detroit could beat them.

Detroit scored 2 points in almost 6 minutes. If the Spurs make it to the Finals, you are guaranteed a win.

My neighbour is a huge Spurs fan, he says in Texas you'd be able to use that futures as collateral.

Who had those great odds as late as Febraury? The Spurs were never more than 4-1 to win the Finals all year with Bodog.

I got the Spurs at 6-1 to win it all right after the All-Star break at VIP.

Also have a huge bet on SA +140 to win this series.

Big game tonight. If the Spurs take care of business tonight, the series is all but over - PHX is not winning 3 straight.

Good luck. Hope we both cash this one.

I should have known this would happen tonight. Anyone calling their bet "a lock" up just 2-1 in the series is sure to lose. The refs handed PHX game four, and they'll surely win game five. The Spurs will take game six easily, but you always want to have the home team come game seven.

I take it you are 7 feet tall and very athletic and you double as a playmaking power forward, and you will suit up tonight to replace Amare and Diaw. Otherwise, Spurs in six, thank to Big Shot/Cheap Shot Rob/Bob.

Yea Spurs are looking really good to win it all right now. Especially since Detroit just decides when they want to play in games it is going to cost them when they finally have to play a decent team going through the East hurts when you don't have to play a single decent team.
