3.25! WTF!
This will be a short post, but if you’re a San Antonio Spurs fan it’s a must read.
Bodog Sportsbook is offering odds of 3.25 (+225 or 9/4) on the Spurs winning the NBA western conference finals against the LA Lakers. 3.25!
The Lakers are a big favorite, only paying 1.38 (-265 or 20/53).
So perhaps the Lakers should be favorites after sweeping the Nuggets, then beating the Jazz 4-2 and having the homecourt advantage. But there’s no way in hell they should be that short against the defending champs. The Spurs have got Duncan, Parker and Ginobli for petes sake! Two former NBA finals MVPs and the current runaway sixth man of the year. There’s just no way they are only a 9-to-4 chance of winning this series.
If you’re a Spurs fan, that is a must take bet. Even if you’re not sure the Spurs can do it, the odds are too good to pass up. But get on it quickly because the price will come down as soon as the Spurs win a game.
I will let you know that I’m not going to have a bet on this series.
But that’s purely because I’m a diehard Lakers fan from way back in the Magic Johnson showtime days and there’s no way I could be such a traitor to bet on the Spurs. But damn I’m tempted… The odds don’t make sense to bet on the Lakers unfortunately, except maybe 3.35 for the Lakers to win it in 7 games. (Yes you can bet on any possible series result at Bodog)
