Updated Vegas Odds To Win NBA Championship

100 on the Mavs is not a bad pick...

[InRareForm]

Here is what I'm thinking

Total Bet: $200

$100 On the Spurs: Gross Earning = $600, Net winnings = $400.00
$ 50 On The Lakers: Gross Earning = $600, Net Winnings = $400.00
$ 25 On The Grizz: Gross Earning = $625, Net Winnings = $425
$ 25 On The Mavs: Gross Earning = $1,000, Net Winnings = $800

That gives me at least a 2/1 odds payout if the Spurs, Lakers, Mavs, or Grizzlies win it all.

From what most people in here are saying, they don't think the Bulls or Thunder are legit contenders, so basically the only team that can bust this bet is the Heat. And if I were to bet $200 on the Heat, the net winnings would only be $300, so there isn't as much of a reward. If you think this is just a god-awful bet, please tell me your reasoning. I'm no betting expert.

Not a good bet. Heavy sided betting on the west.. gives you no chances for east. W

If heat made finals.. the opponent would be an underdog anyway.. you could get that odds (or close to it) at the start of the finals without having to worry about those teams you listed HAVE to make it.

Here's a fun little site for the stat geeks out there. It's been remarkably accurate historically.

I linked to the Lakers but obviously you can check projections for any playoff team.

mavs vs okla....4.5/1 odds for game one...lol mavs looks like a good deal if they can upset game 1

thats the only game 1 in the west with lopsided bet

while the 76s are 6/1 to beat the cows in game 1....lol

I'd put a small wager on Spurs/Celts Finals. 15 pays 450.

Ray Allen is liming into the playoffs injured. He may not play Game 1.
