if u can still get this u should fire allin

yeah, unfortunately that number is capped at $118.75 (lol). and if you've bet at bovada before and shown any sign of possibly being +ev you won't have access to that line when you login to your account.

went to -155 for like 2 days now back up to -200

does anyone think Cavs cover game 1?

1u on Warriors -6. On my way home, so I'll miss some of the game.

What a crappy result for Cleveland... They played so good for most of the game, but couldn't do shit in OT... I'm surprised it even went to OT considering they had the last shot. That being said, I expect them to get raped in the rest of the series now that Kyrie Irving got injured in game 1.

that last lebron shot was the toughest shot he took all game. I don't understand why he didn't go deeper in the post

kinda bummed i didn't get any bets down for the series t.t meh

Kyrie Irving out of Finals with fractured left knee cap

Do you guys think I should hedge this parlay pre-game 2, or via live betting?

----------

Guess everyone is busy... ;o

Here's my plan:

I think what I'll do is live bet the Cavaliers at +13 or better for $40 during the first half, since I think the Warriors will come out strong. If the Cavaliers don't have a decent lead in the 1st half, I expect the Warriors to get a sizable lead in the 3rd quarter and get lazy in the 4th quarter.

And, if I'm wrong altogether, I'll just cry like a little bitch.

----------

Only made out with $30-$31 in profit. Once it got to the 2nd half, I had a hard time guessing how the game would go. I took the Cavs at -160 when they led by 5 or something during the 2nd half.

Basketball is stressful as fuck to bet on...

lebron just beat GSW by himself

if lebron wins the ship is he > jordan?

no. but he is only 30

oh god the blake griffin dikembe mutombo had me crying lol

I think the line is way too close tonight but am rooting for Cavs so don't want to bet on GSW.

Also, I think Steve Kerr has realized that Bogut is a liability in this matchup as they leave him on defense which fucks spacing and Curry in particular, he hasn't done much at all this whole playoffs offensively in the paint against good bigs, and on defense he's nothing special. I expect him to go away from him quickly if things don't start very well for the Warriors.

I'm gonna focus on the Over tonight via live betting, as well as the plus points on the Cavs and the Cavs ML when the Warriors get a mini lead at some point during the first half.

Warriors/Cavs o194.5 -110 (1u)
Iman Shumpert u19 points/assists/rebounds -130 (1.5u)
Cleveland o96 -120 (1u)

Warriors gonna crush tonight

Steph Curry isn't going to go 2-16 or whatever it was in G2 again...and they still almost won that game

First, I'm not a basketball guy, so I'm just going off of what I've seen during the semis and current finals match between these both teams.

Most people I've seen online keep mentioning how the Warriors are the better team, they have underperformed in the first two teams, LeBron will get tired, how a certain player won't be able to do well against the Warriors for whatever reason, and how certain Warriors players will heat up any moment and start playing well.

If the Warriors were such a sick good team and better than the Cavaliers, why did they almost lose game 1, and lost game 2? LeBron could've ended the first 2 games by himself if he didn't miss both of the final shots of the both games. What happens if the Cavs win game 3? Will people still preach the same thing about the Warriors? I mean, for a team that should clearly be better, the Warriors haven't shown anything special yet.

Also, the Splash Brothers haven't been clicking lately. Klay did his thing in game 2, but he's been quiet lately. Moreover, he supposedly has a thigh injury via being kneed in game 2, but I doubt that it's anything serious, the media is most likely just making a big deal out of nothing.
