I bet on Heat this game and I think that worked out though I am also rooting for LA Lakers to win. Maybe because it is the team that's popular but because I have no choice since Miami Heat defeated Milwaukee Bucks and I just wanted for Lakers to beat Miami.

Nice! I don’t think anyone thought that Miami would win after Game 4. What odds did you get on your bet?

Sorry but I am not betting on sites, I am just betting with my friend, we bet on each other. If he picks something that I think would win I do some +2 or +3 on the scores. This time there are no additions since he just bluntly told me that Lakers would win. Bit scared at first since they are wearing the Mamba uniform but they still won.

You'll get more value if you are betting on the sportsbook, currently Heat is +5.5, so you can increase your chance of winning, but that is your choice, anyway, good luck with that, adding some bet while watching would really give you more fun.

To be honest, I am also thinking about that but after reading this thread, I started doubting and having thoughts of how I am risking so much money in sites so instead I will just bet against my friends and have fun with that. Atleast, I can have some trash talks while I'm at it and have someone to talk to even if I lost or I won.

The the discussion in the site is about safe bets based on its odds, not the risk that you might lose your money in a site. Gambling with your friends will prevent you from paying the juice good for you but I suggest to take a look at the betting odds so you'll have a good idea on which team is favorites and what is the point spread.
