I was thinking how if you just bet Boston for the next 3 games, you would have pretty good odds of walking away 2-1, I'm just curious on how many of you are planning on doing this and making at least a +1 profit -juice of course? I'm considering doing this.

  Not bad idea considering the spread might not affect the outcome.

I have to imagine if the series turns 3-1 Boston, I'd have no choice but to back the Lakers in GM5.

IMO this is the smarter tactic if you were going to take one team for each game.  I've read of people doing just the opposite and back LA each game and will double their bet after each loss since they feel greatly LA will win one of the three.

My personal guess is Boston G3, LA G4, Boston G5. The only way I'd ride Boston out is if LA covers G3 cuz then I wouldn't know what else to do...LOL!

it is definitely possible for both strategies to win money, as long as you do it right... and as long as nobody sweeps the 3 games in Boston...

Chasing can get you in a lot of trouble real fast so I don't recommend trying this.
