heres the updated series price on the cavs/pistons series.

Detroit Pistons -193
Cleveland Cavaliers +181

the way the pistons have played in these past 2 games, i'm thinking the cavs might be worth a shot at even this reduced price.

do you think it's sucker money, if you bet the cavs at this price ?

[Winston Smith]

IMO, if you didn't take the Cavs when they were plus a million or whatever, you can't jump on now. What's the point?

[bigboydan]

they still have to beat the cavs 2 games in a row in order to cash. from what i've seen in those past 2 games, i really question detroit's play.

[Winston Smith]

Okay, so say the Pistons win Game 6. What do you think the ML on Game 7 in Detroit will be? I'd suspect steeper than the line there.

[bigboydan]

who says they will make it to game 7 though.

[Razz]

I think you'd be better off taking the Cavs ML for Game 6. If they lose that game, they won't win the series.

[Winston Smith]

Both individual MLs will be higher. (With the Pistons as -6 faves in Game 6), so basically, you're throwing odds away to spread the bet out over two games.

Like Razz said, I find it hard to believe that a Pistons win in Game 6 will be followed by a Cavs victory in Detroit.

A lot thought the same about this game 5. Who would of thought the Pistons would lose 3 in a row. Can it end up 4 in a row?

I think I will stay away from this.

You're absolutely right. I'm the biggest enemy of the "due" theory. I was just using that to indicate that you'd be getting a worse line on Game 6 in the hopes that the one game the Cavs win is on the road.

[Winston Smith]

Also, consider (for odds purposes) that

Cavs in exactly 6 is +227

and

Cavs in exactly 7 is +983

[BuddyBear]

Take DET -193 for the series...if they win then you have CLEV who will be a +500 or probably higher dog...

Now you have a perfect scalp opportunity....

But DET hasn't looked sharp at all so be cautious.

can i borrow your crystal ball pls m8? people said the same about game 5...who tells you they are without a chance in a 7th game?

I got a $40 dollar freeplay on the Cavs to win $1200. I can lock up 4 bills profit, but I think I'm going to be greedy and let it ride

What a poor coaching choice in signing Flip Saunders. He has the 2nd worst playoff road record in the NBA. He is more offense than a defensive coach. The Piston defense has been pathetic. Thats how they won in the playoffs in years past. Now these chimps think they can win it with offense. What a joke.

Damn OWNED, that's pretty sweet. I really like the Cavs for game six, so hopefully we both cash big.

[SBR_John]

I'd take the profit now myself. Its already a homer, a 10 bagger, a bird in the bush.

Detroit has been off their game yes, but they are a great team.
