Pinnacle is beautiful

They offer the same bets in the NBA fuyures but figure a way to make them 2-13 cents different in price.

Miami is -160 in "Odds to win East Conf" section, in the broken down section they are -147.

Also Spurs are -172 in one section, and -170 in another section for the exact same bet.

Looking at the NBA championship overall In one section Spurs are +165, and down lower they are +159

Heat are +250, and +255 respectively Pistons are +400 and +412 respectively

Suns +400 and +410 respectively.

Remember these are for the exact same bet in the same book. It truly shows how Pinnacle see and knows how STUPID the average bettor truly is. They are offering what are relatively huge diference for bets that need all the same things to occur.

What interest me is the probable Der/Mia match up. With one set of number you have a -175/180 (Miami is +147/165 to win the east depedning on the line you use) +135. That is a huge hold, so Pin is defiantely setting up some nice "ahead of the game money" if Det and Miami do meet. But they are only +131 NOT to win. So the guys betting NOT are basically losing 4 cents by not betting Det yes. Not to mention the splits and holds right now on the two teams respectively.

Also the odds on Phoenix, at +180/ +412 respectively. I have to think that Pho will be a seires fave over both San Antonio and Miami, s those odds truly hold value. Especially the +180 to win the west. Because it is a quick fix. I think they will be -130/140 fave over SA, that should garner you a +120-130 number on SA in that series alone.

If SA IS the fave in that series, then all you need to do is bet Pho to win the series, then hope it goes 7 and play SA in the final game on the ML, thus generating a double shot.

Series like these next ones will be are going to be pure money makers for guys who get in early and at the right prices.

But it just shows how books don't care about correlating, don't know how to do it, or simply think that the public is too stupid to even see the difference when it is right in front of them, let alone a couple games down the road.

But as it stands, anyone with any semblance of betting knowledge can see value there...

We should all have your wisdom.arty:

PHX FAVORED over the Spurs in a series????

Don't quit your day job.

You just got the wrong team favored on a line that will be at least -130 (and probably higher).

It is possible, but highly improbable that the Spurs will be favored on the road against Pho. They were bet down twice this year AT HOME against the Suns. They went from -8 to -6 and got buried in the first meeting. Then the second game at home they got bet from -5 to a PK. They did win that game.

In fact in every game the Suns have taken the money from the opening line. I will admit that SA was favored in Pho in Jan opening -5 and going to -2, and they did win SU in OT. But I can't see the books seeing that they took money on the Suns in every game against San Antonio and do it is a much stricter setting. Meaning that at the time this series takes place, there will be only two series going, anf not a dozen games or so on the board. So if anything, that wll amplify the money in this game. It might not be safe to assume that Pho will take it all, but I have to think that the "trend" of them taking more money than the Spurs would hold true.

But then again books have done stranger things. It stands to reason that at the odds, the Spurs are supposed to be favored in the series here, but That means they have to either be huge faves at home and only nominal dogs on the road, or favored in at least one game on the road inthe series. I can't really see either one of those happening to jusitfy them being +412 compared to the very mediocre prices of the Spurs and Magic.

San Antonio will plau Detroit in the Finals IMO.
