Betting: Brags, Bad Beats & Banter

[Redz]

I figured it was high time we had a place for this with full-frontal gambling being right in our faces on every broadcast and live sporting event.

What ya got for the Finals?

I have the Celts for the series and tonight with fairly bad juice, but my favorite bet for the Finals is the Celts -1.5 games at +120.  This means if they win in 6 or fewer games I win.

I went with Tatum as Finals MVP at -120

[Donoghus]

Series Exact Games (5) +225

Series Total Games (Under 5.5) +125

2 pick parlay to win title (BOS & EDM) +372 (placed 5/31)

Celtics to win title +400 (placed 10/25)

I’ve been debating placing that same bet, Redz.  I don’t think this goes 7.

Mostly I’m just waiting for my pre-season Celtics title bets to come through.  I’m pleased I doubled down on my pre-season wager and got the C’s at +550 when the Bucks acquired Lillard.

I’ll post here once just to say there are still those of us who’ve never bet on a sports event. We exist. Rooting only for wins.  But I do hope you all win some money as long as the bets are in the Cs favor.

I didn’t do a long term bet on the title, but did cash in on a Christmas wager to win the East.

I hear ya. And I never let it effect my rooting for the teams I love (or have any real financial impact on my life), but I do enjoy it.

Ultimately went with the C’s in 5 at +320.  I’ll be happy to lose that one when we sweep them.

Lost a few prop bets with Tatum and Brown not scoring much tonight.  Also parlayed the Celts and the over and that wasn’t close on the total. 

Series bets are looking good though

I have Jrue for series MVP for a dollar at +5500!  They offered me a $4.50 buy out.  I'm letting my dollar ride!
