1u G2 wins ELEAGUE +1400 on Betsafe. This is +900 on most other places. Nice value here. G2 is on fire lately, placing second in Pro League behind the favs LG in a bo5 final that went to overtime. With their current form I think they have a good chance to make it the finals at this LAN as well. If they make it there it will likely be a rematch vs LG if they dont face each other earlier in the tournament.
 
man okc look like they've fucking MUTATED into an unbeatable force since the regular season. jesus.

OR it was Barry's touch of death that was the fatal blow to the Warriors when he suggested their series bet after game 1

I completely forgot Barry posting that rant about the value on GSW.
Barry, please explain. As a loyal follower of your value picks I'm now out a substantial sum of money. How will this be reimbursed?
 
Barry picking GSW as the safest bet of a lifetime with unbelievable value and their following losses are the funniest thing I've seen in a long time...
 
Guys please stop with the overreaction here. While the Warriors are down 3-1 it's not as bleak as you make it seem. Let's all calm down and think about this logically. The Warriors won't lose game 5 at home nor will they lose 3 in a row. This means the series will wind up being 3-2 OKC going back to Chesapeake. So game 6 will be very important which in effect, will ultimately define the series and if any team can come back from a 3-2 deficit I'm willing to put all my eggs in the basket that the Warriors can get it done. Remember, this is the best team in NBA history we're talking, Yes, better than the 95-96 Bulls evidenced by GSW's 73-9 record. I'm not in any way worried and I'll tell you why...

The NBA wants this series to go 7 games. If you watched the games that the Warriors have lost the refs have been heavily favoring the Thunder. Blatant fouls go uncalled for against the Warriors while marginal ticky tack calls were made in favor of Thunder. It's very hard to beat a team like the Thunder when you're simultaneously facing KD, Westbrook & Co. and the damn refs specifically you Mr.Crawford. Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about:



Until the Warriors officially lose the series, I kindly ask all the premature doom and gloom crowd to simmer down and as Aaron Rodgers best said it just "R-E-L-A-X". It ain't over until the fat lady sings and I'm super duper confident this goes down to the wire and Warriors win in 7 in an absolute barn burner. Remember, the NBA is the only sport where officiating has a huge determining factor on the outcome of the game. I don't want to go all conspiracy theorist on you, but I do have a sneaking suspicion the stretching of this series to 7 is what the NBA "powers that be" want i.e ratings bonanza and commercial ad revenue etc.

@barrygood1

i have grown enamored by the way the warriors play basketball over the last couple of years. their combination of ball movement, defense, and hustle are, most of the time, head and shoulders above any other team in the league. then throw in the best pair of shooters the league has ever seen and you have a 73 win team. with all that being said, you CANT take anything away from the Thunder. They're taking it to the Warriors right now and the Warriors havent found an answer. While i agree the refs have swallowed their whistles for the Warriors in these last two games, its kinda insulting to imply that's the reason they've been smacked in the face so far this year and/or the NBA has a hand in dictating how a series plays out. OKC is too big and matches up extremely well with the Warriors top to bottom

I'm gonna kick myself for this, but im putting a couple of units on the Warriors to win the series at +220. like you said, i think this series ultimately all comes down to game 6 in OKC but the Warriors dont seem to be flustered by this. IDK if its confidence or what, but the lack of panic in interviews and body language just makes me think they arent going down without a fight (watch them get spanked by 40 in game 5 after i type this).
 
man ive been on the wrong side of a lot of bets in the NBA recently. good thing ive kept it small or else id be in a lot of trouble. with that being said, it might be time to fade me

Raptors +11.5 seems like a lot of points in this game. Lowry and Derozan playing w a lot of confidence after two great games, Kyrie/Love not so much. Raptors defense has gotten better recently too. IDK just seems like too many points in such a pivotal game

Raptors +11.5 for 1.1u
 
I'm seeing some love for Toronto +11.5 from other cappers on twitter and such so you're not alone. I took the pts as well. My -2.5 series bet is dead in the water so I'm still salty towards the Cavs anyway. Still can't believe they couldn't take one on the road, ugh.

you're telling me. i threw a bit on them to sweep Toronto and actually felt really good about it bc of the odds (4-1 was like -150, i got 4-0 at +160 or so). it seems like every time i bet on Cleveland, they play like scrubs. every time i fade them, they look unbeatable
 
LOLs i called it. hope people faded away ^^^^
 
It's weird how playing in a different city can affect how these teams play so much. Fucking mind boggling. This is what Cleveland should've been doing the last two games. Love finally decided to show up for the first time in 3 games. What a Dick.

Desperation prob plays a big factor also. Cleveland had no urgency to sweep while Toronto just kept getting disrespected. But 40 points through 3 quarters? That's insane lol

Its like they're playing a college team out there, so embarrassing, lol. Isn't Toronto the 2 seed too? Jeez.
 
tomic +2.5 sets -- 2.5u. been hesitant to share plays unless confident.. tail at your own risk, of course
 
nice to get it out of the way in the first set :)
 
@BluntTrauma21
whew, glad you did some more on pit before game 6.. line is ridiculous in game 7.. i haven't wanted to bet either side of the series (just the over for series games as we discussed)... but man, how do i not take a shot at tampa +186 in game 7?

I hope it's a small shot. In Pittsburgh + a hot Crosby. If they get any sort of goaltending Tampa will lose. I had $30 to win $51 on Tampa and bought out for a small freeroll on Tampa now.

Plus, Count Gary and the NHL REALLY want Penguins-Sharks. Just think of the potential cgi and ads they could do. Limitless.
