I think Miami will take Game 1 in OKC by < 10 points. They (Miami) just played recently, so they should be more into the flow of the game. OKC has been off for a little bit longer, might not be as sharp as they were against the Spurs.

Of course OKC comes back at home to win Game 2 and tie the series, with the help of the crowd and a huge game from James Harden.

Then they go to Miami and win Game 3 off of the sheer momentum and energy from Game 2's win.

Games 4 and 5, Miami shows why they think they are a championship contender ever year by shutting down Westbrook and Harden, and slowing down Durant, forcing others to contribute more than normal. Miami takes the series lead heading back to OKC and needs only 1 more win to take the ship!

Being a Golden State Warriors fan, I know how a good crowd can make you feel at a game. So do the Thunder, becuase their crowd is just as hyped. Too many mistakes down the stretch for the Heat, LeBron and Wade unsure of who should take the final shots (as always). Durantula has a monster final 2 games of the series and comes up clutch in the 4th quarter of both games...


Game 1 (in OKC): Miami by 8
Game 2 (in OKC): OKC by 12
Game 3 (in Miami): OKC by 5
Game 4 (in Miami): Miami by 11
Game 5 (in Miami): Miami by 2
Game 6 (in OKC): OKC by 3
Game 7 (in OKC): OKC by 9 -> 2012 NBA Champions

Kevin Durant -> 2012 NBA Finals MVP

It's like this 5 people says Miami will win, 5 people say oklahoma will win, 10 people will give $5 = total 50 in the bank. Which ever team wins 50/5 = everybody gets 10

So if only one person bets for Miami and 10 people bet for Oklahoma, the one Miami person stands to win $50 by only risking $5. Seems fair, yes. .

Now if you want to see each side wages $50 regardless of the number of people betting, that works.

Everybody is free to bet to Miami, that's how lottery and betting sites work in basic..

Everybody is free to bet either side, yes if 1 person bet Miami and won 50, too bad others didnt
