I like the MAVS chances in this series and they are currently +190. So IF I just put $400 on that, I'm looking at hitting for $760 
BUT... how about this? Obviously for the MAVS to win the series, they HAVE to win in BOSTON at some point. I believe they will break through in Game 1 or Game 2 so with tonight's game I can instead play DAL for $200 on the moneyline at +200 and if it loses, I'm down 200. Yet, the line for the series will likely go up to like +300 and I can use the remaining 200 and put on DAL to win $600. Obviously, if DAL wins tonight, I can bet DAL for series with my winnings $400 and be in position to win about the same. If DAL wins, I have a slight advantage but am out ZERO. If Dal loses, I can do as I stated, or if I decide to, go moneyline on DAL in Game 2.
Just trying to get a feel what others do strategy wise... I'm going with my strategy, hoping for a MAVS win tonight, otherwise, regroup.
DALLAS +200 $200
DALLAS +7 buy 1/2 $240/200
No series bet yet!!
