00:00Line opened up, Thunder a minus 750 outright favorite.
00:04We'll take that off by a half buck.
00:06Oklahoma City still a strong, strong favorite to be crowned an NBA champion,
00:11but now minus 700.
00:13Again, DRS, we're talking 50 cents, and it's still a minus 700 price.
00:18But does that line movement in the outright number to win a Larry O'Brien trophy
00:23here on the opening day of the NBA Finals mean anything to you?
00:27Not necessarily, because it's still a ridiculous favorite there.
00:30I think most people probably look and say, man, I'm going to get this much pricing here
00:34on the Pacers before we even get started, and maybe the Pacers can steal game number one,
00:38then you have an automatic cash out ticket in your pocket.
00:40I get that.
00:41And also understand this from a public perspective.
00:43If you are the betting public where you're throwing in, let's just say, 10 bucks, 50 bucks,
00:47100 bucks, are you putting in that 50 bucks on minus 700 on the Thunder?
00:52Or are you saying, you know what?
00:52I want to have a good time in this series.
00:54Let me put down 50 bucks on a five-to-one pricey and really start to cheer on the Pacers.
00:58Because if it loses, yes, you're out 50 bucks.
01:00But boy, you know, the exponential payout on the opposite end is probably worth that here.
01:05And that's where some of that money goes into it here.
01:07Or are the Sharps going to load up on the Thunder?
01:08Minus 700.
01:09That's crazy.
01:10I have them booked out at minus 950.
01:12Now I'm getting a positive price.
01:13I'm going to lay the wood here on the Thunder.
01:15We'll see where this is before the game actually starts.
01:18But I'm not surprised if that's come back lower because the casual fan is going to look at that and say, that price is ridiculous.
01:24I'm never betting the Thunder at minus 700.
01:26But, hey, if I like the Pacers a little bit in this series to be competitive, why not take a five-to-one price or a plus-550 price there before it drops back down?
01:33So that's the reasoning behind it at this point.
