Dude, your talking about basketball (which sucks) and a team called the Pistons, which will probably never lose again.

A) Anyone who bets on a team of which they are a fan is inherently doomed to lose their money

B) The Pistons are going to be even money or favorites in pretty much any series they are in. So, why would you bet on them if you're not going to get a good return on your bet? It'd be better to predict when they were going to lose or when they aren't going to cover the spread.

C) Big Fundamental > Big Ben and Shhhhheeeeeeeeed

Pistons were - 12 during game 1. I took them gladly (although I got a bit of a scare in the 1st half and in the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Oh if you wanted to take Detroit to win the series you'd be getting the great odds of -5000. In other words for every 50 dollars you wager you iwn 1 dollar. That would not be worth it (although it's a guarenteed lock) You'd need 100k to win 2k

Oh yea Betting on only on dogs isn't a good strategy. You should bet wherever you think the value is (i.e the line is off) whether thats a favorite or an underdog
