love it...
CTG/Spurs wins this season;
+$350 for them over Houston in reg season wins
+$1,820 for them coming out of the WCF in futures
+$1,000 Spurs in the finals - $100 hedge = $900
Spurs won me $3,070 off of CTG this season...
Two years ago, I bet $250 on the Spurs to come out of the west when they were 8-1, half way through the regular season. They got hot, they won 20 straight...and ran into OKC's best game, at the worst time...I didn't hedge and blew $1000 (Spurs were pretty heavily favored after game 2...but even favored before the series started)
Last season, I didn't need $$ on the finals...just heart broken in general...
This entire season was vindication. I've been saying just how good the Spurs STILL were and CAN be. They just systematically destroyed the NBA. All the early criticisms this season when SAS was 0-8 against the top tier teams...it was mind boggling to me. Pop has a number of wins, and he calculates the highest % opportunity to reach that number. Play 5 games against 4 sub par teams and one beast...well, Pop knows how to GUARANTEE 80% win % in that kinda scenario. They're regular season magicians.
SAS lost Leonard, Parker, Green, And Ginobli for a decent stretch this season too...62 wins was ridiculously impressive.
There is NO reason to believe they cant do it again last season...
I'll see you all next season for some more futures.
