Dang...Vegas has Spurs as a BIG TIME dog.....

[CosmicCowboy]

Line is Miami -240, Spurs +200

i'm thinking about dropping some money on this one.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I don't bet on the Spurs, but if I did I would take that. Just another one of my dumb supers ions..

[kidd_91]

I never understand odds. What exactly does that mean?

[The Reckoning]

drop 25k on it imo

To win $100 on Miami winning you would have to bet $240.

if you bet $100 on the Spurs and they win you win $200.

Can anyone recommend a good online bookie?

Yeah,the one time I bet on the Spurs was in 2001 vs. the Lakers.I vowed never to bet on them again.Bad karma.

I guess you could always bet on the Heat. That way, either the Spurs win #5 or you win some $$$. WIN-WIN.

I like your logic!

so its even better if one is betting on the spurs??

i.e. bet 100, win 275???

I also don't know how betting lines work.

Bet $100. (example) Win $175 if Spurs win. If you pulled your money out you would take out $275.

Interesting that as the days go by, people are thinking less and less of the spurs.

Actually, they are thinking more of the Spurs as the day goes by...Spurs were +200 earlier and Heat were -240.

Your initial post was Spurs +100

sorry, it was a typo, I changed it.

Spurs +175 basically means they're a 2-1 dog (1.9-1 to be exact). Not exactly "big time".

I thought it was close enough to big time to drop $500 on it. We will see.

[JRHernandez88]

Were you able to find a good bookie? I'm considering placing a bet.

[CosmicCowboy]

I don't think my bet (or anything else I do) will make the Spurs win or lose.

[CosmicCowboy]

I ended up using Sportsbook.com

I checked on another forum I frequent and a half dozen guys had used them with no problem. They had some really good first time bet promotions...they added more money to my base bet.

Thanks!
