seems too short

The game lines didn't adjust a ton, Bulls are only -2 in game 3. That's in the ballpark of what they would've been if the Celts won game 2.

One of the toughest things for oddsmakers to do is when new info/unexpected results happens during a series. Do you stick to what you thought going into the series or do you adjust the lines based on a small sample of results?

Seems like for now they're not adjusting the lines.

Celts simply not a one seed.. would be dogs to every team that advances in east barring upsets

Before the series started Boston -2.5 games was around +200 / -250, so they have moved the line. Always bet against line moves like this, so I'll take the #1 seed at +260. And there's still Chicago at home -1.5 available for game three, which is another good bet

I meant game lines haven't adjusted much. Yes, after a team wins 2 straight on the road the series line adjusts, thanks for that 1.

And chi to win gm 3 and celts to win the series are opposite sides of one another. How can these both ne good bets? That is threading quite the needle.

Yes, after a team wins 2 straight on the road the series line adjusts, thanks for that 1.

But how much should we adjust their chances of winning four out of five. At the start of the series the lines said close to 33%. Now they say it's around 25%. If we weren't betting the Bulls +2.5 games at -250, why isn't the Celtics -2.5 +260 a good bet

It's not that rare that there are good bets on opposite sides of a game. Some people make a lot of money on it

2/5 to start the series would be in Chicago

3/5 going forward.....Also, closing a series by not losing 4/5 is obviously different than not losing a series in 5 games.

That+if you revised your opinion on the two teams would obviously make up the difference in the line.

Also, could you be anymore condescending/sarcastic in your posts? Say what you need to say bro.

If you think Celts +260 to win the series and Chicago -1.5 are both good bets, then feel free to explain why. There is no good scalp/arb there.

 

[HarryCaray 1,920]

Agreed, if you think Chicago -1.5 in game 3 is a good bet, then by definition you do not think Celts +260 is a good bet, because you would get supremely better odds after a Bulls game 3 win, which you are saying is likely to happen.

 

[PatsFan1283 3,005]

And because the whole "Nobody has ever comeback from down 3-0 ever" thing, the market would adjust for that and the Bulls would then be more than -1.5 in their next two home games.
