Spurs beat the odds
The San Antonio Spurs did what no other team has been able to do this season in the NBA playoffs. They won a game 7 on the road. Because that’s what champions do…
I was too chicken to predict the result, and was cheering for the Hornets. But even though they were favorites with the sportsbooks and had won every home game by 20 points, in my heart they were still underdogs against those damn Spurs.
We did however suggest the under bet on the game score, which came through when only 173 points were scored. Collecting money without having to pick the winning team is fun.
I’m a Lakers fan. And I’m scared of the Spurs. I would have rather we play the Hornets in the Western Conference Finals, because I think we match up on them better. There’s no odds up yet, but I’m sure the Lakers will be favorites in the series. But those damn Spurs will find a way to make it scary.
Not that we care - the more games that are played, the more chances we get to sit on the couch with chips and beers and bet on the action with Bodog Live.
Have you seen this live betting stuff yet? It’s freakin’ awesome. You can bet on things happening whilst the game is playing and the odds are continually updated. There’s nothing better than some in game action to keep it interesting.
But anyway, well done Spurs, damn you… You’ll live to fight another day and we’ll continue to have bets that don’t involve you losing…

Good work on the under bet call. I took that as well - they were never going to score a lot of points in a game 7…
