Great sport and great trading sport!

Large leads can disappear very quickly in this sport, pays to trade out.

[Emmson]

A major f*ck up has occurred here because I never payed enough attention to myself. Absolutely horrific trading, I'm steaming

I will be trading 76ers v Raptors starting at midnight...........I need to clear my head in 1/2 an hour.

[Emmson]

Another tough swingy game.

[Emmson]

What a tense game that was won with a buzzer beater. A real ordeal to come away with less than fiver.

[Emmson]

1.8 Raptors back is my entry point in my quest to extract something from game 3 v Bucks.

[Emmson]

Yeah I'll settle for that on at 1.8 and off at 1.44

Magnificent trading sport NBA Basketball, in future others will cotton on.

[Emmson]

A dirty win for the Raptors and for me too. We had over a million matched

[Paulo_Kayser]

Fantastic results Emmson!

This is a wonderful sport to have fun and work!
But during the playoffs, I prefer to enjoy the game. My trade results are better in the regular season.

Good job!

I thought 1.32 Bucks was an awful price but I got on anyway and it worked out, Hopefully Toronto will storm back now that I'm out. Am I the only person in UK who knows who the Greek Freak is? This is a great trading sport. I am on occasions willing to put in an 18 hour trading day

Nah, I have a clue My only reservation about MIL past few seasons is that they didn't have the depth, confidence nor experience on the roster to catapult The Greek Freak's lone talent to greatness. They do now! Well kinda... Bledsoe is a huge liability still. Similar to Westbrook (OKC): Neither seem to possess the capacity to differentiate between a good shot and a great shot. But worst of all, he often opts for the worst shot and that's him taking 3s. I mean there is a reason TOR leave him open from the perimeter every time he has the ball! If someone is shooting just 33% from downtown and an abysmal 23% in the playoffs, you're pretty much going to give them as many shots as they want if the alternative is having to battle The Greek Freak and/or Middleton in the paint. Unfortunately, the kid doesn't get it.

I had a tiny piece on MIL (to win championship) but hedged after game 2 vs DET. Just felt the market's expectations got way ahead of itself

Good work, I don't do outrights myself but looking at that maybe I should start.

Delighted the Toronto Raptors make the NBA Finals but less delighted at losing £89 on the game £70 caused by an outage and another £29 by some bad trading.

Sooooo Emmson (and anyone else interested), what do you make of game 1? I would have thought GSW would be the fav by 3-4 maybe 5 points. Roster strength would suggest so. With them, GSW, being priced -1 early and the market flipping to make Toronto fav, it seems the smart money's on Toronto. Or the top bookies know something and want action on GSW.

I cannot figure out whether there's now huge value in my original thinking (and good value compared to the opening), or go with the smart money. Or probably best of all, leave it be, evaluate and go from game 2...
