The NBA Playoffs start this weekend. Right now, online bookies are doing things to protect their profits.
The real key, for now, is managing action on teams to win the Eastern Conference Finals and the Western Conference Finals.
Check out info on how online bookies are accomplishing that.
Eastern Conference Finals
Cleveland Cavaliers -110
Toronto Raptors +150
Philadelphia 76’ers +500
Boston Celtics +2500
Washington Wizards +4000
Milwaukee Bucks +6000
Indiana Pacers +7500
Miami Heat +8000
Per head agents will set max betting limits on any team at 25 to 1 odds or higher.
That means max betting limits have, or will be, placed on the Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, and Miami Heat.
The real conundrum is what to do with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors. The Cavaliers are a heavy favorite to win the Eastern Conference because the best player in the NBA’s history, LeBron James, plays for the Cavaliers.
LeBron is good enough to single-handedly win the East. It’s doubtful agents allow bettors to pound the Cavaliers to just win the Eastern Conference.
Toronto’s fair odds are probably higher than +250 to win the East. If sports bettors send too much action onto Toronto to win the East, there’s a good chance that bookies will set max betting limits.
Western Conference Finals
Golden State Warriors -110
Houston Rockets -110
Oklahoma City Thunder +2800
Portland Trail Blazers +3000
Utah Jazz +4000
San Antonio Spurs +5500
New Orleans Pelicans +20000
The Western Conference finals presents a different situation. Pay per head agents should set max betting limits on the following teams:
Oklahoma City Thunder
Portland Trail Blazers
Utah Jazz
San Antonio Spurs
New Orleans Pelicans
Minnesota Timberwolves.
Online bookie agents have an interesting situation in that both Houston and Golden State offer -110 odds to win the Western Conference.
There’s a good chance that action on the Rockets and Warriors cancel each other out. If they don’t, online bookie agents will set max betting limits. Or, they might set up a schedule override limit to encourage wagering on the other team.
