    Default Orlando Magic +1500 To Win NBA Championship

    This is a bet worth looking at...a solid road team with all the tools...great point man, great big man and solid perimeter shooting makes them a force even to Boston and Cleveland

    Great value. I'm with ya. Magic are flying under the radar and only getting better. +1500 is worth the price.

    Orlando will not be able to win in the big games. They simply won't have that those open long range shots when the post season comes.

    Just like last year....the playoffs are a WHOLE different stage. It's easy to run by a Kings team by 20+ points all night, it's different to go up against the Big 3, Lebron, Kobe, etc. that are playing the best they play all year when it matters.

    bad bet, there are 3 teams superior to the Magic, and unless two of them play each other in the second round of the playoffs the Magic would have to beat in succession the Celtics, Cavs, and the Lakers, with no home court advantage after the second round. 50-1 would be worth a shot, but not 15-1.

    I'm not a huge Futures guy but seaborneq has a good point here. I think at 15-1 its worth only a very small play if any. I think the better value may be cherry picking individual games with them in the playoffs where you may get some nice ML's against the Cavs, Celts, Lakers.

    This is a great futures play, the playoffs are a whole different story, but they will still get open 3's penetrating point guard, best big man on the glass in NBA leads to offensive rebounds then broken down defense and open 3's I absolutely love this play.

    So u guys think they will beat Detroit in a 7 game series, then Boston in a 7 game series and then Cavs in a 7 game series just to reach the finals and THEN beat the Lakers in a 7 game series?



    Lakers vs Cavs finals.

    Has a team that relies completely on 3 point shooting ever won an NBA Championship? It certainly doesnt happen in the modern era...

    a valid point, but the pt is, +1500 for a top 4 nba team is still great value

    Uh, they lost to Detroit a mere 2 weeks ago. Not to mention how pitiful their record is against them.

    No way is +1500 worth it when they gotta win 16 games against superior teams.

    With Spurs done, the bet looks even worse. Lakers cruise to Finals. If Magic get past Celtics, they have a better shot against the Cavs, but don't count on it if Cavs have put down the imaginary camera and are focused.

    I dont understand what the lure is in betting when you know it wont win. Just b/c the ticket looks great, doesnt mean buy me. Thats why the Books put up those longshot odds, in order to make some free money. Making those kinds of bets isnt a mature decision, just burning money. I do longshot parlays, but for $2-$5 at a time, never more, b/c then your just a sucker.

    In the event of one or two injuries to Celtics and Lakers, this will translate from a bet to a fact!

    Magic? Shaq n Penny couldnt do it with all their shooters and Skiles.
    So Baby Shaq n Lee cant get it done with Alston, and the Master OF Panic Ron Jeremy, stated by SHAQ.
    Better Idea........ U can give it to charity.
