Very possible scenario for Boston Dallas Game 5 based on NBA History

Just like when Golden State was a champion, the winner will be Boston but the odds will change so badly against them during the game.

Dallas might lead by 10-15 pts at halftime, at this point Boston will pay 3x times the stake and Dallas would pay 1.35x the stake - exactly the opposite of what it is now.

Then 3rd/4th quarter it will become tight and then Boston would win, might or might not cover but if you like Boston Money Line - take it at halftime in live and not before the game even begins.

If you think that's the scenario, then taking Dallas first half ML, then Boston second half would probably yield similar results.

Or you could do the halftime/full time prop. Dallas first half, Boston second half. That pays +425 and wouldn't have to worry about timing it. And it would pay more. 

Just as an FYI: Boston has lost 5 quarters in a row, 4th quarter of Game 3 and all 4 quarters of Game 4. I can't see Boston losing another quarter (or losing 7 quarters in a row) and giving this Dallas team some hope on their home court. I'm hoping that Boston takes Quarter 1 or Quarter 2 as this fits into my progressive NBA martingale playoff theory. 

BOL everyone.

I just realized I've hit 11 picks in a row currently during the covers NBA playoffs contest....LOL. Unreal. I don't bet during the regular season, but I like progressive quarter betting during the playoffs and WNBA.

 That works fine if Dallas leads at half, but if Boston is up 10 points at the half, they'll be -700.

@slamspurs

i agree w you if the prediction is mavs by DD at the half OP should just bet mavs 1H. have the ML in before tip or you may never get that # again.

Would have to double-check, but Boston is usually good about 1H ATS, and Dallas during regular season was the type of team to wake up more during 2H and clutch time in the 4th quarter.

Obviously a bit different now though with Dallas being back to the wall facing elimination and how they came hot out the gate in Games 3 and 4.

 The history doesn't mean anything, the oddsmakers want to bank as much $ as possible into this.

C’s Halftime/Full time -130

@NONEED4LUCK

 Bad odds - I don't like it

Dallas 1st half is in.

Waiting to place $10,000 on Boston ML when they are trailing by 10 at halftime.

0 and 1 and now what are you going to do? Meanwhile my bet cashed. I mean; if Dallas comes back in the road down 3-1 down 20 I would be surprised. Celtics 2nd H anyways. Keep your $10K fake money. 

Nope, Nope, and more Nope.
