Thanks SM777! This is a high number. It is a hedge play. I dont really think the Pacers will with the Championship.... but at 300 - 1 , hedging the other side for the series throughout the playoffs can be a good play depending on the odds. Since they may be a 5th seed, the odds wont be so crazy. And now that Embiid is hurt, the sixers may play them in playoffs and Indiana just may be favored which is perfect for the hedge.
Thanks again for checking.
In your scenario, your better off simply betting them to win the actual series. What's the purpose of betting 300 to 1 on the series, just to hedge it off after one round? If you think they'll beat the 76'ers, well....bet them against the 76er's in the series price!
The way to play the NBA championship futures, is simply to bet 2x your money on the Warriors and 1.5x your money on the Rockets as a hedge. These are the only two teams winning the title this year plain and simple unless there's some fluke injuries. I hope the Timberwolves can make some noise because im a big rose fan and chicago fan and they have a lot of pieces from those past chicago teams, but that's my heart talking and not my brain.
10,000 bet on the warriors gets you 12,000.
7500 bet on the rockets gets you 11,250
Personally I'm not touching the futures, but this is one way to go about it. a 2 to 1.5 ratio sounds about right.

That’s a horrible idea unless you think they are gonna play Toronto in the finals and be -500 favorites
So I’m risking $17,500 total. And if Houston wins the championship I win $1250, and if golden state wins the championship I win $4500. And if something flukey does happen and neither makes it I lose the entire $17,500. No thanks
How about I just wait until the finals and take my $17500 and bet it on Houston or GS for the series. This elimates the risk of
neither of them getting there. And it also pays out much more
Last year GS was -240 for the series vs Cleveland. That’s GS with Durant , basically the team they have now. Even if they were -300 this year because Cleveland isn’t as good , my 17500 bet would win 5750.

That's a concept that gets lost on many novice sports bettors. They view these future bets as hedges before any games are played. Much like the poster who made this thread.
If you like something, bet it. Why complicate it by betting a future where multiple things need to happen? Not to mention it adds in the risk of many things, mainly injuries.

It is actually to hedge the other side of a futures I took a while back on the sixers. Im averaged in at 90-1 on my tickets. I thought they would be playing Indiana first round, and the 300-1 is a great hedge as I get a pass in the first round with great odds moving forward. However, the sixers keep winning and they may even move into 3rd seed for playoffs, at which point the 6th seed is still unknown.

Would be nice to see a response from the smartest man in the room on why you are wrong.

The only way the Rockets or the Warriors don't win this year is because of major fluke injuries and thats the only risk you take. Unless ofc the whole playoffs is fixed for lebron, then all bets are off. Personally with all things considered,, I'm not a fan of betting on sports, which is why I don't do it.
