NBA - is 2pts worth 30 cents for the Heat tonight?

[plommer]

Ladbrokes is offering

Miami +2 -110

OR

Miami +120 moneyline.


Plommer likes the moneyline play better than taking the points here.

Whaddya think?

 

[choo]

pinny has +2 +100 ML +117, so I'd go +120.

 

[Enigma]

definitely take the ML rather than the spread

the difference between Miami +2 and Miami ML is actually only 1.5 points

by taking +2, you'd be moving the line from miami +.5 (same as miami -.5, or PK, obviously) to 1, to 1.5, to 2. That's three moves, or 1.5 points.

1.5 points is not worth close to 30 cents.

 

[plommer]

1.5 points is not worth close to 30 cents.

This is what I was thinking.

Also, I want to bet the Heat on the moneyline because Ladbrokes has live "In play" wagering on this game.

Should the Heat be ahead during the game there will be opportunity to lock in a profit by betting the Mavs at + money if they are trailing.

I can also just ride it out.

I like my options here.

 

[Archie]

I took em both

 

[madmaxx]

Mavs rollllllllllllll tonight, take the Mavs ML

 

[FreeFall]

Nope, never normally is

 

[choo]

Nope, never normally is

What does this mean?

 

[Enigma]

I think he's saying 1.5 points are not worth 30 cents

 

[plommer]

Mavs now offered @+200 in play early 2nd qtr.

I'm gonna hold on to my Heat +120

 

[plommer]

Mavs now @ +300 in play at Ladbrokes.

 

[Tron]

Mavs rollllllllllllll tonight, take the Mavs ML

Certifiably?

 

[Tron]

Mavs now @ +300 in play at Ladbrokes.

You know DAL will go on a big run. But you know this already.

 

[plommer]

You know DAL will go on a big run. But you know this already.

Yes. I know this.

I also know I am greedy with my wagers. I have over $800 on Miami and they look good, I am considering pulling the trigger on the Mavs to ensure a profit on this game.

 

[Tron]

Please tell me you bought some DAL

 

[plommer]

Please tell me you bought some DAL

I didn't - I was going to take Dallas +6.5 in play but backed off, obviously I would have cashed both bets but I am thrilled the Heat won as dogs.

It was a wild ride, I got my moneys worth and the win.
