Lakers Prop, is this a lock?

Marco · Jun 2, 2004

Ok, I used the "lock" word, so now I got your attention....

Judging by all the opinions landing on the Lakers to win the title, myself including....

I saw a prop at oly that has the following:

Lakers to win in 4 or 5 games...+160
Lakers to win in 6 games........+210
Lakers to win...................-575

If you like the Lakers to win why not bet both of the top props instead of taking the Lakers at -575?

Granted this thing could go 7 games if lightning strikes or something else weird...but then couldn't you hedge Detroit on the ml for game 6 if the series was 3-2 and it looked like there was a possibility of a game seven?

What is the math behind this equation of games?

where is that prop marco...very interesting on the win in 6 at +210

i saw this and feel the same way.

is it a "lock" - NO!

but will the series go no more than 6 - YES!

there would be no reason to hedge in G6 if the series was 3-2 lakers because G6 would be in LA - and there is NO WAY IN HELL the lakers lose a home game to the wnba champ pistons

Had to leave shortly after I posted this...just got back....

Winky....yeah, I don't believe in locks either but this looks rather inviting to say the least....

Dante....as listed above it was at olympic...

Betting on yes to a Laker win in 4 or 5 games is now down to +140.....
