What are the Odds of Piston Repeat NBA Championship?

[wilheim]

I gotta give them a measly one chance in ten to repeat or win two straight at the almost impossible to win at Alamo Dome.

1 in 10 thats pretty dead on, I believe someone posted adjusted series odds @ -1100

Detroit (series) +850

Currently at Pinnacle:


621 Pistons to win in exactly 7 Games +957

If you believe that Pinnacle has the sharpest lines in town, then the true odds should be around 11 to 1. They have -260 +240 on the moneyline for game 6, which means that the true line is 250.



Parlay 250 x 2 and that = 11.25 to 1.00

There is more value in the props, then parlaying the money lines

Currently at +241 works out to be +821, I believe

Robby:


241 x 2 parly = 10.681 to 1


Generally it's better to stay away from those props and just parlay the moneylines. Ask Shrink about last fall with the Redsox (I know Shrink, you were away from the computer and outta town and that's why you played the future instead of parlaying the moneylines)




You need to be able to get +241 on the last game and that is the ?. If Detroit wins game 6, will public perception bring the line down a notch or two? (not counting any injuries).

odds are slim since i have the pistons for the series...

Great tool here, a parlay calculator:

If the link doesn't work just google "baseball parlay caluclator" it's the first one returned

Thanks Hitman, I normally don't think like that. Just got me curious.


I did it like this: 100 gets back 241 = 341 * 2.41 = 821.21 or +821.

But I guess I'm wrong

Becuase you cant really place the wager as a parlay to begin with, you have to do it yourself as two seperate wagers.

 

[Hitman26]

Robby you did it right, you just forgot the add the 341 stake to the second payoff.

241 x 2 parlay = 10.6281 to 1, FWIW you missed out the "2" Hitman.
