The PLAY-IN has been amazing! And we are smoking hot to start the playoffs betting season. Reminder – as I/we do every season I take on the playoffs in my Playoff Betting Journal which focuses on futures and series betting, and then in these spaces I’m betting sides and the occasional total. You need a SportsEthos WagerPass to see all of the action. For some initial thoughts on the playoffs head on over to the publicly available introduction to the Playoff Betting Journal.Â
Philadelphia putzed around and eventually put away Orlando, with Paolo Banchero looking awful all game long. It’s never comfortable to bet big units right off the bat as it tests you early and even the relief pitchers among us have to ask themselves, am I willing to go down huge when I see the big bet. We start off 2-0 and up 5.5 units because of the other theory – when you see a shot you take a shot. In the grand scheme of things it’s 40-80 plays depending on how active you want to be. But it’s funny how the first week goes. We saw a shot and took a shot and now it’s time to take some more!
2025 Playoff Results: 2-0, +5.5 units
