I will win $3500 if we have a Rockets v. Hawks NBA Finals

[enayes]

I placed a $50 bet before the playoffs started for a Rockets v. Hawks Finals matchup. It pays $3500 if it happens.

I know the Warriors and Cavs are both the favs but everyone was saying the Clipps would beat the Rockets.

Wish me luck! I'm just glad to still have a shot at the $3500!

:cheers:

I just bumped that thread in the Off court lounge, there was an error made in the odds when I originally placed the bet. They had a Rockets v. Hawks Finals match up at +70000 when it should of been +7000. It was an error on their part. So after it was corrected I still decided to keep the bet at +7000, so $50 wins $3500.

Woah you bet on the hawks before the season started?

[Stat & Melo]

Liar. Post your bet slip

Ratings disaster. Adam Silver has already guaranteed LeBeta in the Finals. You just wasted $50.

before the playoffs started, I don't even think you can bet potential NBA Finals matchups before the playoff teams are selected

Clippers are chokers. Everybody at one point were saying, Pelicans were going to win against the Warriors, then they said Memphis would and look what happened. Warriors could go 8-0 vs Rockets this year.

[BigBoss]

Good luck OP.

[enayes]

Good luck OP.

Thank you. Even though it's still somewhat of a longshot I'm just glad I can watch the Conference Finals with a chance at winning. When the Clipps went up 3-1, I thought I was done.

I'd think you'd get better odds than what you got if you made that bet before the playoffs started.

[iamgine]

What's the odds now?

:biggums:

Did you read the first sentence you quoted of me?

I did.

[enayes]

What's the odds now?

For Finals matchups? I just checked on 5Dimes and there not updated yet, will post back tomorrow.

If I had to guess a Warriors v. Cavs Final is prob around +100 (So a $100 bet wins $100, or you double your money)

I would be surprised if a Rockets v. Hawks is any better than +1800 at this point. So a $50 bet now would win $900.

But then again I'm just estimating, will post actual odds tomorrow.

And in case anyone is wondering/clueless when it comes to gambling, there was very little money to be made betting for a Warriors v. Cavs final. There were the favorites going in and I believe picking that matchup before the playoffs started was at +240, so a $100 bet would win $240.

$150 bet on the Cavs/Warriors wins $100.
$100 bet on the Hawks/Rockets wins $1860.

My bet was placed at +7000, so my $50 wins $3500.

My bet was placed at +7000, so my $50 wins $3500.

So essentially the ticket that you have that would pay $3500 in the event of a Hawks/Rockets final could be bought right now for $188. So OP turned $50 into $188 and thought it was worthy of a big thread patting himself on the back.

Neat.

I think we have a hater :oldlol:

I made a thread about my bet before the playoffs started.

Unless you're going to make that $188 bet you can't talk.

I've tipped cocktail waittresses with bigger slips than your $188.

Make the thread in a week or 10 days if you have a chance to win. My point was that you are ~5.3% of the way to win your bet and its hardly a time to boast.

Congrats on your $133 "win"! :roll:

[oarabbus]

I'm thinking of betting $500 on the Cavs this next series. The Hawks will get smacked

I placed all my eggs in Houston's basket because they had the best risk:reward ratio for me.

Appologies, I meant I was surprised the odds weren't better in your favor at the time the bet was placed.

English grammar and sentence structure arent my strong suit

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Welp. Good job, good effort.

[imdaman99]

It wasn't to be, unfortunately.

Good luck bro, you are gonna need it.
