NBA Finals - Series Price Inflated.

wilheim · Jun 9, 2005

Call me crazy if you want but the Spurs -250 (or so) is IMHO to high. I give the Pistons a real shot to win this series. Seems like the public has fogotten last year's finals when the Pistons were serious dogs only to win easily. I know the Spurs aren't nearly as overated as the Lakers were but tell me why the defending champs are not being given any respect.

NBA Series Prices (Best of 7): Pinnacle:
Detroit Pistons vs San Antonio Spurs
Team to win series:

615 Pistons +238
616 Spurs -252

I have respect for them Wil and wagered on Det for the series already, but that is probably the best fade today. :smoker2:

OK, your crazy. Just because you thought it would be -1.40 does not mean -2.50 is too high. There was a lot of -3.00. This is not a dysfunctional Laker team with a gimp Malone laying -8.00. Not sure public pushed up the series price either. Those were openers that got hit. My take is fairly smart money pushed it up, and it went way past a scalp real quick. It was not Motown futures hedging. The advantages are weighted in most areas to the Spurs. I think it is right about where it should be, as far as value. Luckily, I was able to trade some +2.00 on the Spurs for some Motown at +5.80. Now I have a free position on the Spurs. I think Timmy gets his third ring. Without the Admiral this time.

Nice amputee FROG cartoon, I remember that from way back, I thought Hustler.

Froggy the -40 cents was my opinion of where the series SHOULD be, I really believe these teams are much closer than the series price would indicate. Glad you liked the cartoon. Bottom line - Pistons win 2nd straight crown.
