G7's Usually Disappoint but NOT in NBA Finals; Maybe We'll Get an OKC-IND G7 Classic?

[jkvonny]

damn its been that long? Life has changed so much but the 2016 series feels like it was yesterday.

2013 seems like yesterday, too.

2010 and 2005 doesn't seem very long ago but it is.

Depends on your age, too. I'm kinda old ha!
Early 50s

I win $3400 if Pacers win championship.


Now I can bet $2650 on OKC to win championship and come away with $3400 either way. So $750 of certain money.
Or I can let it roll on.


$750 certain money or $3400 if Pacer win game 7.

What do you choose?

Easy decision, unless you’re hard up enough that $750 is a big deal. Seems unlikely if you have $2650 to hedge.

You’d have to think OKC is more than a 4.5:1 favorite to hedge like that. The betting amount says they’re more like a 3.5:1 favorite.

In addition, if having money on one side adds to your enjoyment, you’re losing that.

I hope we're in for a treat — these playoffs deserve an epic finish.
Unfortunately, we're getting a Scott Foster game, and even though there's nothing left to extend, his officiating style just happens to suit OKC unbelievably well. He calls a lot of fouls but likes to call exiciting ones, shooting fouls and similar stuff and not the "boring" fouls like grabing and pushing and that suits OKC. They won every game he officiated these playoffs.
I hope he finds the strength to do his job fairly and, for once in his life, put basketball ahead of himself. (Or for NBA tu put someone else, which would be smart thing, but we know its not happening)

Definite hedge at this point. Then bet the $750 free money on the totals and just enjoy the game

Started watching this today (i knew i saw this some weeks/months back, thought it was a one off documentary and not a series)

Should be a good tease before Sunday's big game. (Includes Spurs vs Mavs G7 in 2006, Episode 3)

i think there's a better chance that okc will blow them out @home

[picc]

I wonder who's gonna choke.

You know these games always have some guy who starts airballing wide open shots and hitting the side of the backboard from the corner with nobody near him.

I think Hartenstein is a candidate. He might put one of those floaters over the shot clock.

Hali has had so many clutch moments these playoffs, feels like it's written that he'll have another. Table is set!

I would choose not to waste my money gambling at all

So take the $750

It doesn't. I spend so much time watching basketball, the money part is just to use my knowledge for minor financial gain.

Seems like most others suggest to just hedge.

Somewhere Peja and Doug Christie just sneezed.
