Sometimes making the right bet is knowing what bet not to make.
No matter how you evaluate Game 1, it is still hard to get behind a scenario where Boston wins both games on the road to start the series.
To get a winner on this bet, you are looking for a team to basically go 10-2 or better (but at a price worth waiting for).
Picking out a few bets for this this week's PGA event.
OK, we've waited long enough. It's finally here: Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics. Where are you putting your money for this one?
The NBA Finals are set and we kick things off with a preview of some of the available betting markets.
Let's look at the top Big 12 contenders and see where the soon-to-be-departing Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners stand.
Boston is favored to advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in more than a decade while Miami is looking to get back there after losing to the Lakers in the Orlando bubble.
After a five-year run of dominating the ACC, Clemson's run as conference champions came to an end in 2021. Despite opening as conference title favorites, could another school grab the top spot for the second season in a row?
Miami is facing their first elimination game of these playoffs, and in looking at those odds, it does not look like they are going to extend the series.
Will the Warriors close it out and advance to the NBA Finals? Or will the Mavericks force a Game 6?
The Charles Schwab Challenge features a good field, headlined by top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas.
Game 4 was over before it really started thanks to Miami having a terrible first quarter in Boston on Monday night. Now the series returns to Miami tied 2-2.
Golden State is one win away from heading back to the NBA Finals. They went into Dallas and beat the Mavericks despite Luka Doncic leading all scorers with 40 points in Game 3.
Game 3 certainly gave us a lot to think about for the rest of this series. For starters, the Heat got the win to go up 2-1, winning the game by building a big lead and then holding on (and my over pick cashed).
Golden State took care of business winning both games at home to start the series. Now it is on the Mavs to get back into it the way they did against Phoenix.
The Celtics got healthy in Game 2 and never let Miami get into it. Now tied 1-1, the series moves to Boston.
After looking at these rankings I just had to take a look at the Pac-12 futures market to see if there was any value.
Heading into Game 2, Dallas should feel somewhat encouraged by the fact that it would be hard to imagine them shooting any worse than they did in Game 1.
Miami took advantage of a couple of absences in the Boston lineup to get the W in the series opener. Not having Marcus Smart and Al Horford hurt but I still think Miami was "supposed" to win the game.
The 2022 PGA Championship is coming up, so here is an in-depth look at the betting odds to get you ready.
Look for Game 1 to be a chance for the Warriors to show off some depth, and being at home they should be able to get some of their secondary players going.
The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. Yet, it seems like this matchup is still a bit of a surprise.
An interesting prop bet has popped up on betting boards that highlights the recent dominance of the SEC. Is it a play worth making?
Does Luka Doncic have it in him to put the team on his back on the road, or is this just the close call the top team from the regular season needs on the way to a championship?
