Well, it was a profitable finals experience for me. Obviously, Boston proved to be the better team, and I had a hunch that they were going to pull this series out from the get go. So, I cashed in a nice series bet (taking Boston to win the series at +170). Also, I made some money throughout the series by betting Boston in individual games. The books just gave the Lakers too much respect even as they faltered early in the series. Expecting the Lakers to win by 8 points at home, and offering the game at pretty much even money in Boston allowed me to cash in. I had a hunch (i was pretty unsure) that Boston was the team to take going into the series. Always follow your intuition. |
