same scenario the Suns had vs the Lakers in round one, just need to win the one at Dallas (game 6) and take care of home court on the other 2. Of course the Mavericks are much better than the Lakers so easier said than done. I dont remeber what the Suns were in this spot, I think it was around +220
At least one current price on the Spurs: +343
That's a pretty good guarantee if you took the Mavs for the series. Can do a partial hedge and carry a balance on the Mavs to assure a profit regardless of outcome of the series.
The way I see the series, the Spurs could have just as easily won Games 3 and 4 as Duncan fouled out late in the last minute plus when the Spurs were trading leads with the Mavs in Game 3. Last night, the Spurs once again had the game at 111-109 when the refs made a questionable call on Bowen with 8 seconds left sending Nowitski to the line for two and the game goes to OT with the Spurs missing Ginobili. I expect a Mav letdown in Game 5 being up 3-1 following two close wins, but the Spurs to bring the same level of intensity as Game 4. Then it goes back to Dallas at 3-2. With the way the two games went in Dallas, certainly not beyond the realm of possibilities that the Spurs can win Game 6 sending it back to San Antonio for Game 7. Happened in Round 1 with the Lakers. Hedge paid.
Regardless of final outcome to the series, this is a classic example of a proper hedge position in my opinion.
