Betting Odds on 2021 NBA champion

Odds for Jazz, Celtics, and Nuggets look very attractive, right?

There's a reason for that...

Sure. I'm guessing there's a ton of money on the Lakers, Clippers, Nets, and Bucks already, so a sports book is going to make it attractive to bet on some other teams. There are some huge odds here that are 50-1 for some teams and 100 to 1 for some others that will get some people to bet just for the fun of it, but those teams aren't serious contenders. However, the Celtics, Jazz, and Nuggets look like they each have a legit shot and you're getting 20 to 1 or 25 to 1 for them. I'm thinking the chances of the Celtics winning the title is probably better than 20 to 1. They might be the best team in the East, so if they get into the NBA Finals, who knows?

Edit: If you bet on the Celtics now, and they make the NBA Finals, you've pretty much already won. You just hedge with their opponent.

Note 8 teams not even on the board LOL

I agree there's value in those bets

I just couldn't fit them into the screen shot, but if you're interested in these very, very long long shots, here they are, but you probably have just as much chance winning the powerball lottery. Actually, the Knicks have been playing pretty decently lately, but yeah, 500 to 1 is probably still unfair.

Clippers +600

Clippers +600

Yeah, that could be worth it. Not that fun, but pretty fair. The Nets +300 looks pretty awful.

They aren't winning it. Not even coming close. But I feel like its pretty disrespectful for the Knicks to have worse odds than the dumpster fire that is Washington. Thibs has them playing pretty well considering that roster

Yeah, the Knicks are far from the worst right now.

If I had to bet 3 I'd probably go LAC, Indiana and Utah or Toronto.

Utah OR Toronto. Would not take both.

Well, I will save you the time. Betting on Indiana and Toronto is like flushing your money down the toilet.

I know the odds might look good, but the odds of those teams actually winning are zero.

Odds of most of the teams winning is zero.

Agreed

I would just advise against betting on those teams.

I wont be betting on any of them but IF I would I'd pick those to at least make it interesting. Think I have a decent chance with LAC so at worst I'd win something.

Though I guess I need to remember my own advice and never bet against Lebron losing to anyone in playoffs until someone besides those stacked GS teams beat him.

Betting on the Woves, Knicks, Bulls, Kings, etc is also a disaster.

Right.

But might as well put a bit extra on LAC and even Utah.

Indy and Toronto aren’t getting there.
