Future: Indiana Pacers - Eastern Conference Winner 100/1

[ConorB]

Hi guys,

I might have said before that I think this team is still seriously underrated. The East is a bit of a mess at the moment - Boston and the Cavaliers both seem a little flat to me, and I refuse to believe that there is a massive difference between the others (apart from the Bucks and Raptors who along with BOS / CLE make up the best four teams).

I have posted the prices available from some of the main UK / European books below - just to give you an idea of what's available.


Cleveland Cavaliers +150, +110, +120, +250
Boston Celtics +186, +200, +200, +175
Toronto Raptors +300, +450, +500, +350
Milwaukee Bucks 12/1 12/1 12/1 14/1 16/1
Washington Wizards 18/1 18/1 16/1 12/1 20/1
Philadelphia 76ers 40 40 40 40 28 40
Detroit Pistons 30 50 50 50 55 50
Miami Heat 35 25 25 40 28 40 66
Indiana Pacers 35 80 100 100 40 80
Charlotte Hornets 75 100 100 200 66
New York Knicks 200 100 250 500 85
Orlando Magic 600 80 1000 125

Anyway, I have just placed a couple of speculative bets on the Pacers at 100/1. I fully realise they are highly unlikely to win the Eastern Conference but I also really do not think they should be 100/1. What do you guys think? I had to make the bet right? I think I'll try to get on the Bucks at 16/1 too as that looks overpriced to me also

Let me know what you think guys!

Thanks,
Conor

Any opinions on this market guys?... Tempted to take 14/ on thee Bucks as well or 16/1 if i I can get it (it's only with one bookie). I just can't believe the Pacers are 100/1, they aren't that far off the top teams in the East, are they?

The Pacers are a huge number but they would have a tough road to get to the conference finals most likely. I took Milwaukee before the season and still think they are a dark horse.
