Price the Cavs vs. Spurs series
I don't understand why everyone is putting the LeBrons in the finals already but if they make it, are the Spurs a -500 favorite?

Ok Pinnacle has ...
87 Western Conference -390
88 Eastern Conference +370
390 looks good against this Cavs team.  |

Right?? If you like the Spurs to take Detroit anyway, why not buy in at -390 now?
Who knows, maybe LeBron starts shooting from half court to get his shot off and people will actually perceive the Cavs have a shot.

owned is right. It is about -450 vs. Clev, -300 vs. Det. -390 IS good against the cavs, but poor against the Pistons.

5dimes has already asked many of the players who do such things to leave. This might last a while.

Anyone notice if Pinny even takes that OTB during the Eastern Final games? How much did it go up after game 5? |

Ganch finds some free money! especially if 5Dimes is allowing rebets after small moves.

If the line isn't moving they would have no one to blame but themselves. I know 5Dimes has gotten less tolerant of market bettors but this just looks like some bargain shopping. |

Heres what Pinnacle has it at currently:

Cleveland Cavaliers +395
San Antonio Spurs -425
|
Anyone got the balls to take the Cavs, because I sure don't. |

Hmmm...
Cleveland played San Antonio twice in the regular season and won both games. San Antonio obviously should be favored to win the series but +395 is great value for the Cavs.
Looking at the matchups, Cleveland defense sets up well against SA with the notable exception of Tony Parker. Larry Hughes has a chance to earn his salary if he can get healthy enough to keep himself in front of TP. If he can not, then the Cavs will have some real problems.

The futures market is overvaluing the cavs. If you wish to take the Cavs take them on a game by game basis.

Do you really want to tie up your money for at least 4 games to make 2.5%? I'd personally want to keep my money in circulation and turn it over 5 times before locking it up. |
