So I bet 350 on the C's to beat the spurs in the finals. The Pay out would have been 28k , but I see no way the c's get by the knicks the next round. I could see them beating any of Detroit, Orlando and Cavs

But the bigs of Philly and NY scare the hell out of me, even if they somehow get by Philly, NY will feast on our bigs.

So I cashed out for 1k. Was it the right move?

Yes. I cashed out my Celtics to finals in the 1st half ladt night when it was still close.  I have no faith they make it past NY if they even beat Philly.

Also, I don't see San Antonio beating OKC, so that was also a risky play.

Yes. They have very little chance of beating the Sixers and zero chance of beating the Knicks.

You bet 350, and come out 650 ahead with them struggling in the first round? How could you NOT take this deal?

Yeah, that?s a slam dunk. I don?t know why they would even offer such a deal. Seems like they should be offering like $150-200 if you want to cut your losses. Do the betting markets really still favor the Celtics that much?

I made the bet before Tatum came back, so they were really good return on the bets.

I have 3 more

Bos to beat okc
Ok to beat bos
SAS to beat bos

Should I cash these out too you think. They are not as much, but still profit.

I might let the OkC to beat Boston fly, but would cash out the other 2. And if OKC and Boston do both make the Finals you can always cover that OKC to win bet bt betting on Boston to win before the series starts.

Celtics are still +170 to come out of the East, followed by Cleveland at +250 and Knicks at +300, at least on the site I just checked.

These Celtics aren't the 2004 Red Sox. They won't magically flip a switch tomorrow. Even if they win tomorrow, they're getting waxed in 4 or 5 games next round

So yes, cash out while u still can. It's the right call.
