Knicks and a middle

Number 1 seeded teams in rounds 2 and 3, that are tied 2-2 and at home have gone 24-10 straight up (+7.2), and 14-20 ATS (+0.5), average line -6.74/200, average score 101.4-94.1

I've got two plays.....

  1)  Parlayed Knicks to win straight up and Thunder to win straight up +157

  2)  Took Spurs to cover +5'.

    a)  If Thunder win by more than 5 I win 8 dollars.

    b)  If Spurs win straight up I win 2.5 dollars

    c)  If Thunder win by 5 or less I middle and win 29 dollars

We'll see what happens....

 Indigo, sounds like you will be making money.

Yes, though my math was very bad....

    a))  If the Thunder win by more than 5 I make 88 cents

    b)  If the Spurs win outright I make 2.50

    c)  If the Thunder win by less than six points I make 21.88 dollars.

Most good bettors are contrarian, and it works much of the time.....until a team becomes nothing like it was during the season come playoff time....that is the NYK this season, as well as the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Pistons to the opposite extreme.

And, I think that the Thunder are at that point as game 5 approaches, where it could all come crashing down.   Obviously I hope that OKC can eke out a win tonight, but we are seeing some cracks in the air of invincibility that permeated throughout their regular season.....Chet looks far from an all-star and the Spurs are neutralizing Gilgeous-Alexander, plus their 3rd and 4th best guys are hurt.   If the Thunder don't win tonight, the series is over, no big revelation there, and I believe the finals will be an epic series.....will probably be on the Knicks.

If the Spurs don't win it this season, I will be putting a futures bet on them to win it next year....probably would get them at +300 to win the NBA championship.
