    Do you understanding how bookmaking works? Bookmakers set the odds with the purpose of getting an even amount of money bet on either side so they can ensure a profit. The Lakers could lose the next ten games in a row by 40 points each, but if the book somehow received a ton of action on the Lakers to win the le, the odds of the Lakers winning the championship would actually increase, despite how badly the Lakers are playing. The book does this so they can slow the betting down on the Lakers and get people to bet on other teams. There's nothing scientific about Vegas odds. It's all about keeping a balanced book.

    Since I'm not a bookie, I ain't giving you Vegas odds. You want to bet with me, we doing it straight up.
    you have a sad pathetic life.

    Nice canned response to getting your ass told.

    "Odds are odds."

    You wanna bet or not?

    Homeboy trying to hustle me. He actually wants Vegas odds. Can you believe that? Right now (depending on which sportsbook you visit), the Lakers are anywhere from 16 to 1 to 20 to 1 to win the championship. The Heat are basically 1 to 1. And since we all know, in reality, the Lakers are an emerging beast and championship contender, they should be similarly favored.

    I put the Lakers at 1.5 to 1 win the le.

    Damn right. Last night's gritty win against a tough Raptors team made me a believer. No way the Lakers get denied a trip to the Finals.

    lakers got all possible helps from the refs last night yet they only got a scrappy win over one of the tiest teams of the league. lakers will continue to have whistles called in their favor when the playoffs begin, but that's still not gonna be enough to put them through the likes of spurs or OKC imho.
