    We all know the stats. OKC at -700 to win. Alot can happen in these games. We have seen 2 of the best players injured Tatum and Currey. Teams come back from 20 down and a lot more stuff as well. I made only 1 bet. 

    Over 5.5 games at +115. I will not concern myself with point spreads, Totals or how many points someone may score. These are things that I do not do well with in the NBA. Good luck to all.

    FYI: Pacers +2.5 games is available at the same or a similar price, or possibly even at a little more plus money; is a better bet, if you had that option available. For example, Draft Kings right now has Pacers +2.5 games at +120. That way you still win if the Pacers win 4-0, or 4-1. Not very likely, perhaps, but certainly possible. Gives you more opportunities to win at the same or very similar price.

     I actually looked at this +2.5 game wager when I made the wager I made. At the time it was -140 so I decided to take the + money play. You are correct as there are only 8 possible outcomes and the +2.5 covers 6 of them. Hoping all of us win this NBA finals!

Gives you more opportunities to win at the same or very similar price. Simplicity and avoiding overthinking the odds or spreads can save you a lot of headaches in the NBA. These playoffs are getting unpredictable fast. I also looked for other games on different platforms. Something like https://online-casinosbe.com/review/wolfy-casino/ shows how many options and variables there are beyond just betting lines. It’s easy to get lost in all of this, but with resources like these, it all becomes organized.

    Taking +2.5 adds flexibility for similar odds. More paths to win makes it a smarter, lower-risk play overall.

For example, Draft Kings right now has Pacers +2.5 games at +120. That way you still win if the Pacers win 4-0, or 4-1. Not very likely, perhaps, but certainly possible. Gives you more opportunities to win at the same or very similar price. Simplicity and avoiding overthinking the odds or spreads can save you a lot of headaches in the NBA. These playoffs are getting unpredictable fast. I also looked for other games on different platforms. Something like https://online-casinosbe.com/review/wolfy-casino/ shows how many options and variables there are beyond just betting lines. It’s easy to get lost in all of this, but with resources like these, it all becomes organized.

    Taking +2.5 adds flexibility for similar odds. More paths to win makes it a smarter, lower-risk play overall.
