    Thinking about dropping a couple bills on this. That way if I have to watch these gots threepeat, I'll get something for my misery.

    Although, I'm maybe more tempted to do Spurs at +2500 for if they win the Lebron sweepstakes.

    I honestly would if I weren't still emotionally invested enough in the Spurs.

    Why would you bet right now and wait until next June for result ?!? Just invest your money, you have a better chance of getting over +125 return that way.

    Only makes sense for over 5 to 1 bets imo

    I wouldn't bet now now that Kawhi f*cked up the chance of getting Lebron. Yea, I would maybe want to wait 'til February or March.

    Better off waiting until next year, the number will either stay in the same range or even higher..it's highly unlikely that they will dominate the RS, the mileage is adding up and they've repeatedly discussed how hard it was for them to stay focused this season..

    Not to mention if the Lakers get LeBron and/or Kawhi, you'll get even more value, of course..

    That's a case to bet on the Lakers at 20-1, tbh. Though those odds are what I recall before today's news. The odds probably suck now.

    Lakers, Kings, Mavericks, etc. Most stacked conference ever in 02 and 03. And then the beaten winner still had to beat a formidable Nets team.

    Odds were probably right; but I notice Vegas is y nowadays. They'd probably be 9 to 2 if the same thing happened today.

    They're sharper today and the futures market has changed dramatically since 2016 following Leicester City's win..the Golden Knights odds would have paid much more if the LC outcome hadn't occurred, for example..

    But it is costing them bets, imo. People don't want to bet on futures that are half of what they should be.

    You're underestimating the re ation of public bettors. There are lots of people that are taking Oakland 12-1 to win SB when it should be 50-1

    Vegas is smart to put the teams in high demand with crappier odds; but generally speaking if they shave off too much across the board, they're steering people away. I would do futures on everything if the odds weren't ridiculous.
