Default Raptors Nets series

20-1 on the Raptors coming back to win the best of 7. Currently down 3-1 against New Jersey with 2 of the remaining games being home games. I think the true line is approximately 10-1, worth laying down 100% of my sports betting bankroll?

Independant linesmaker here in Toronto. My sportsbetting bankroll is just something I am willing to gamble with if there is a lot of equity as it is seperate from poker. I am just trying to determine what this line really should be at?

Max it out so that you can hedge for -680 on Matchbook.

Nice $170 profit for every $100 you wager with the bookie. Yes, you read that right.
