who bet on the celtics before the season started 

Post#1 » by scottyno2 » Sat May 31, 2008 4:33 am

I remember a thread the day the KG to boston rumors broke where people were scrambling to bet on the celtics before the odds changed. I got $10 down on the Cs to win the title at 90-1, anyone else sitting on a potential gold mine if the Cs can pull it off?

$10 on 100-1 at 3AM when we knew it was going down.

No. But I remember people on the board did a poll on how we would finish. And others did pre-season rankings. And some ranked us like 4th behind det, orl, and cle. And others agreed. And I remember saying WHAT? Are you kidding me? We are going to be in the finals.

Damn, I should have made a bet on it.

Best team in the east, probably about on par with SA

Damn the lakers for adding an All NBA player to thier roster for a stiff.

I put 25 with 90-1 odds. The day before there was 50-1 on the Eastern Conference, but that disappeared when I made my account.

Regardless, the money is just a bonus. I want the Championship baby!!!

Put 20 down to win 1800. I am looking to hedge now, but don't have the bankroll to do a lot.
