    People that took Spurs 1st 2nd game lost fortune..betting to win series gives you opportunity and you dont waste your money game after game. Problem is most of bettors cant wait.

    If you took the spurs to win the series you have no shot. They probably won’t win a game

    result is the same you lost whatever your bet was it just takes longer for the loss to finish. Much more likely to get swept than win the series

     True, however, I think there’s opportunities everyday, you just need to improve the process in how you make choices.  It takes time and effort .    Hope it works out for ya .

    I’m definitely a futures guy. My mistake was greed. I took Knicks winning 4-3 at +700. I didn’t think the Knicks could win in 6. Now it’s likely they win in 5 or 6. Right team. Just greed.

    You can simply hedge by taking Knicks now. Bet them ML at home and spread when at Spurs as needed if you think its a forgone conclusion Knicks win. Thats the good thing

    Futures have 1 very big advantage. You are not betting daily and upping the ante. People lose at sports betting because they have no money management skills. They will bet paycheck to paycheck. My advice for what it is worth is set a predetermed amount that losing the future bet will not change your life.

    Its not that easy. No one knows exactly if or when the Knicks will win. They could lose the next two at home.

    I know MLB and the NBA are totally 2 different sports  ... but I remember the 2019 World Series. The home team lost all 7 games!  

     

    You never know until you know! :)

    its absolutely insane the amount of money people lost on the knicks this post season because they hate new yorkers.
