Grizzlies worth a shot at 100-1?

Anybody think there is value there? I know they are young and draw Spurs first but they have played Spurs tough this year.
Of course, play-offs are different story.
But if they knock off Spurs(and they would have to eventually anyway) its wide open.

I would say make the bet for the first series ONLY now.

Then, if they win, roll as much as you want into next series. And so on...

I say this for two reasons...

This way you are in control of your money and can pull back some between any series.

And.. They will be a DECIDED underdog every series. This method will pay you far more than 100 to 1 if you roll everything over.

Of course, the most important reason this is good is because they have a snowball's chance in hell of winning all these series back to back as large underdogs. If you can just get the first two, under my plan, you will be a HUGE winner.

If I do say so myself, this is a BRILLIANT plan!

Value = Yes

a chance in hell of cashing this ticket = NO

it's your money and you are free to do with it what you want - but in the nba - there is a "pecking order." teams have to take steps along the way to win the title (for the most part). teams win a round or two - then lose - and use that as a learning experience for NEXT year when they take another "step" up the ladder. rarely do nba teams come out of nowhere to win it all. same thing here.

Two keys points...

I said brilliant plan. There is no such thing as a brilliant plan if it does not come together.

And, no offense Winky... There is NO SUCH thing as value if a play can't CASH.

Thanks everybody for advice. Grizzs must not be attracting much action as its is now 150 or 160(Pinny) on them now.
Decided to take a small taste of it at 160 and small also on first series.

True payoff based on expected outcomes and game prices would be over 450 to 1. 160-1 might seem like a lot, but it's still far too little for the odds you should be getting.

Good Luck,
