lol Lakers -160 without Home Court....Bet of the Decade

The books have finally wised up after making Boston the favorite the whole year.

Biggest coaching mismatch in Finals history? I believe so.

Best player on the court? Kobe

Players with more rings? Lakers

Feel free to add to this list

FYI, Lakers have been the favorites to win it all most of the post season but point taken. Personally still undecided, I think it goes 7 though

Great point. The crazies from L.A. will dump everything they have on the Lakers. I'll fade them. Boston in 7, 6 if the Lakers can not win game 1 or 2.

With what I've been hearing on the radio and tv and all media, they make it sound like there is no way Lakers will lose as this is Kobe's destiny blah blah. Meanwhile with the Celtics I hear ppl bringing up the stat that the big 3 never ALL play well together on a night blah blah.
Expect the public to hammer that -160.

The Jazz were also Dogs on every Rockets home game despite the -230 price. Series Prices paint a better picture than individual game spreads imo. The Lakers will be bigger favorites at home as well.

Boston is also a "public" team, I don't buy the theory that Vegas expected the Public to bet the Lakers, thus making them a false favorite.

all the lakers have to do is win 1 road game, which they will imo. lakers win this series in 6 games. if it goes 7 then it will be interesting, but kobe lives for s*** like that.

Don't buy it ? Whether they win or lose I figured the public would be on the lakers, and in return put a heavier price on them for the series.
