A nice win tipped for the Suns last night at 2.48, a very generous price against a team as moody as the Lakers. On their day, they are the best team in the NBA, but they have a habit of going to sleep and did so again last night with the Phoenix bench essentially winning the game for the Suns in the fourth quarter.
As I wrote yesterday, this win makes game 5 very interesting. The Suns have the momentum and with a win can close out the series at home in game 6. If the Lakers keep going as if the series is a “slam-dunk” they will lose.
Unfortunately, I shall be away for that game and a potential game 7 for investment purposes.
I was trading the game on BETDAQ (liquidity sporadic, but occasionally there was value) where they suddenly suspended the game for site maintenance. Unlike Betfair, who don’t turn games in-play when there is scheduled maintenance, BETDAQ do, something to be aware of unless you suddenly want to find yourself exposed.
About Me

- I have had a life-long interest in sports and after studying Pure Mathematics with Statistics at secondary school, have been fascinated by odds and probability. The first system I came up with was a simple one - back the favourite and double up after a loss until a winner. Simple enough in theory, and I told my Dad about it. Not being a betting man himself, he ran it by some of his colleagues, and came home to tell me that it wouldn’t work because a long losing run would mean that the bank would be empty. Then there was always the possibility that the winner would be returned at odds-on, meaning that the total returns would not match the outlay. Not what a ten year old wants to hear! Only slightly daunted, I then went on a search for the Holy Grail, the secret to riches that I knew was out there somewhere. Finally in 2004 I stumbled across an article about Betting Exchanges and four years later I was able to make a steady profit.
Presumably the game developed exactly as you were hoping in order too allow you to "go big".
