Great value. I'm with ya. Magic are flying under the radar and only getting better. +1500 is worth the price.

Wow! Panic is back or is this a very old thread? Which one is it?

Basketball Futures - 2008-09 NBA Championship Title - Odds to win - 1001 Team to win the 2008-09 NBA Championship - CLE Cavaliers +1400

A week ago that was golden. Today, very unlikely.

Lakers look like they will put this one to bed too.

yeah, that may be easy to say now, but I threw this chunk out in mid January, and in a 2-1 series, I'm liking the possibly huge 15-1 payday.

I have a Laker future, so you are in good shape.

Nice ticket, but it might end in Orlando. Would not be surprised if LA wins the next two games.

I would take that. Magic have a chance to take it. Depends on the next two games.

How much would you sell that ticket for right now?

**Tsoprano** · 06-11-09, 11:37 PM

Orlando should be tied 2-2 in the series but had a mental meltdown

bad bet, there are 3 teams superior to the Magic, and unless two of them play each other in the second round of the playoffs the Magic would have to beat in succession the Celtics, Cavs, and the Lakers, with no home court advantage after the second round. 50-1 would be worth a shot, but not 15-1.

Just too much to ask for a team to win the last three series of the year without home court advantage. Just too much. It is a double edged sword. If you don't have home court advantage it means you didn't win as many games as the other team or you had injuries which prevented you from playing at full steam for a portion of the season, which affects continuity. Game 7's favor the home team. No team will win 3 of those on the road. So it was a good run, but very unlikely that the Magic would win it all. Great call though. I had Nova 40-1 to win the NCAA's and they made the Final Four. Still it was a longshot and a loss.
