June 29 9/4

Start of playoffs 13/5

Start of Finals +185

After Gm 2 +655

Yes, After Game 4 would have paid the most with a $100 bet: $1126.

Our friends at Bookmaker told Covers just prior to the game that: "Action on home squad has pushed number back to opener, but I doubt we'll budge from that again."

From The Mirage Las Vegas’ Jeff Stoneback: "As far as people coming to betting window, it's split 50-50. There's just more $ on Warriors."
