still taking the Heat in 5

What in the last 3 weeks have you seen that makes you think the Thunder will lose 4 straight games to the heat? Unless your being sarcastic, you must not have watched these 2 teams

Heat +235. Great number.

Bettors that take that are getting the best player on the court on two pretty evenly matched teams.

I can't believe people could be that stupid as to think the first 10 minutes of game has that big of an impact on a 7 game series.

Neither does the first game.

The Thunder did what they were supposed to do last night. I HATE the Heat and Queen James but I jumped some series at +240.

If Miami had a post up player the +240 would look better to me. But I think it's a problem for this team along with Wade not looking like his old self. I think Lebron will have a couple huge games in this series and Miami will probably take two. But I don't think they can take 4 from the Thunder unless the Heat drastically change their strategy. And even then I have my doubts because of the post position.

I'm by no means an NBA expert, but even I know that it takes teams one and sometimes two quarters to settle into a game. It's just remarkable to me that people will change the odds that drastically on a series based on that short 10 minute window...Crazy

Spurs swept through the playoffs and were on a 20 game winning streak. Went up 2 games on OKC then lost 4 in a row....

This thread started out asking if there was good value in wagering on Heat + 150. Now I've seen Heat + 240. Is this good value ? I saw no value in taking the Heat + 150 as I've already stated. However heat + 240 is fair but not great yet. The Heat have not been a very good road team all year yet they are a very good home team. I think if the Thunder win tonight, this series Money line will go up once again. If the Thunder win tonight, I wouldn't be surprised to see the series line go up over + 300. At that point I would think it had some value. BTW I think the Thunder win tonight.

And now Miami is -115 to win the series.

In order to have taken advantage of Miami +240, one had to assume and be sure the Heat were going to lose Game 1.
That's too much of a guessing game to go about it in that manner.

I'm sure OKC will grab one back from the Heat in Miami though, so this line will likely be back & forth.

If Miami wins Game 2, I'll have a scalp available to go along with my Miami +150. I won't take it because I'm plenty confident that the Heat will take the series. Mark it down; James becomes the King.
