A few of the playoff series picks are up.

Just as an ex., i picked the four series favorites to all win, which comes out to +467 odds ($1 wins you $4.67, or $100 wins you $467). If I were to keep the LAC pick but change everything else (so ATL, MIA, POR, LAC) that would be a +1436 odds. If i were to bet my $4600 on the favorites (+467), i "could" win $21,500 + my $4600 back. But i'm a low-risk high reward ass nygga.

After the play-in tourney, all 8 series will be available.. so betting, say, 20 (or 50) bucks that you can guess the 8 winners is more my steez. Much harder than it sounds tho... I'm 0 for 3 in 3 years of trying. Closest i ever got was 7 for 8. Still, i try it once a year on some NCAA bracket ish.

For the play in games, similar setup:

^I'll probably throw $20 on a couple different play-in outcomes as well. Granted, something like this would probably be safer:

Betting on Russ puts the 'gambling' back in sports gambling :shaq2:

Tbh I don’t consider it a bad pick. Wiz went 17 and 6 to finish, with their OFF, DEF, and Russ all booming. So for the latter 3rd of the season they’ve been a very good team.

Boston meanwhile been going through it. Kinda feels like we’re destined for BK vs WAS, but Tatum might just drop 50 and dead all that

Yeah, I was thinking so too. But Beal isn't 100% and they been losing a few close games recently. But what pushed me over the edge is I just don't trust Brad Stevens getting his team where they should be.

It's going to be interesting to see which series get's the dreaed NBA tv tag especially if both the lakers and warriors are 7th and 8th seeds. They're must see tv. I don't think any west teams succumb to NBA tv status.

The only east series i really see gettin that nba tv work is knicks and hawks. If boston and washington are the 7 and 8th and the wizards play the nets russ bs kd they wont be there. I can't imagine philly and sixers getting that so knicks and hawks fans get those local broadcast ready.

Wondering if the league will have the Saturday games be the 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5 matchups from each conference. Team whoever gets the #8 seed out West going to have a quick turnaround playing Friday night than Sunday.
