With the NBA finals happening at the Staples Center in Los Angeles tomorrow night, the two big basketball teams fighting it out are Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers. The LA Lakers have participated in the finals 32 times before, where as Orlando Magic have only participated in only two. Shaquille O’Neal was a youngster when Orlando Magic first played in a final… many years ago.
Gamblers are placing bets on who will win the NBA. NBA betting has changed since the days of just betting on who will win. You can now bet on the top scorer, and who will be leading after the first, second and third quarter. Also, many online sports gambling sites offer a variety of proposition bets for the NBA Finals, just like they do for other American sports, like the Super Bowl. A popular bet that gamblers will chose is, which team will win the series and in how many games they will win it in. The odds vary and are dependent on the amount of games that the gambler has chosen.
Here’s an example: the Lakers are +525 to sweep the series. They are +420 to win in five, +300 to win in six, and +350 to win in seven games. The Magic are +2000 to sweep, +1500 to win in five, +850 to win in six, and +600 to win in seven.
Sports betting can be fun, especially if you back the winning team and win some good cash.
