that has to be a mistake, or theyre stupid and giving $$$ away, after LA wins the next game the odds will drop to around dallas -300 LA +250 going to LA where Lakers will be something like -250 to win game 5, too many opportunities to hedge that +1000.

Actually the best way to play the Lakers now is to take them ml every game, equivalent to around +750.

Those lines aren't a gift but a suckers bet. LA isn't coming back down 0-3. Go buy some lotto tickets with your money on what you would bet and add Boston to that as well.

I personally think the Boston line is way off. The last time a Lebron team won at Boston I can't honestly remember. I believe Boston will NOT lose a home game in this series. So basically +550 for the chance to win game 5 OR game 7. May not happen but could always hedge this in GM 7 for a nice profit.

As for the lakers, it's never happened but if it ever could this is the combination. A veteran laker squad against a notoriously choking team. Think the mavs find a way to pull it out but lakers win tomorrow I think it all comes down to game 6 so might be worth the prayer at +600 or so

Interesting propositions on both!!

Your talking about a Lebron team with Wade and Bosh my friend, so saying a Lebron team isn't comparing apples to apples. Just saying.

Sure looks like apples to apples. The difference is the heat have the home court and that may be the deciding factor. But +550?? there's gonna be a great hedge opportunity come GM 7 at worst I think
