Here are the calculations:

Original $100 on the series price of -200 against Portland wins you $50.

That original $100 that you would have had on Dallas throughout the playoffs on the futures bet PLUS the $50 winnings put on Dallas winning the series vs the Lakers @ +300 odds:

$150 x 3 = $450 winnings plus your $150 = $600 total.

$600 to win the series against OKC @ -150 = $400

(calculation is $600 x 100 / 150 for -150 odds)

now take your $1000 and put it on Dallas to win the finals series at +150 and you win $1500.

That's a total of $2500 - original bet of $100 = $2400 winnings

Risk $100 to Win $2400.


I had em against Lakers, Portland and OKC and got them vs Miami too...

You make a good point (that there is a ton of added juice in futures bets), but your argument is hindsight.  It is possible that the Lakers lose to NO in the first round, and Dallas is -500 to beat NO.  Then, Memphis could have beat OKC, and Dallas is -250 to beat Memphis.  Then in the finals, they could have played the Celtics and been +125.  Add those up, and it is less than +1600.

Pinnacle has a calculator I use to figure out the juice on futures bets (or any bet with more than one choice).

Your logic and your arithmetic are impeccable.  Still I'm glad I threw my measly $30 on the Mavs +1750 when I did.

Good points from Thorpe, too.  Ready for CFB yet, Thorpe?  You're always much more prepared than most when the season rolls around.
