NBA Playoff Betting Odds - Bet
2010 Basketball Finals
NBA
basketball betting is one of the hardest sports for
bettors to win money at.
Since rosters are small and there are a manageable
number of teams in the league, bookmakers have been
releasing increasingly solid numbers year after year.
It's no secret that sportsbooks make a good profit by
taking NBA action, most managers will admit that there
is other ways that basketball bettors beat the
sportsbooks every year (NBA totals).
NBA basketball betting is the No.
3 most popular sport bet for most sportsbooks after
pro and college football. One of the biggest factors in
successfully handicapping sides is paying close attention to
injuries.While bookies make a killing with sides, which are popular with
the general betting public,
totals continue to be problem because they are a favorite of the
professional bettors. |
 |
This is not fact in every single game, but over time there are
definitely more weak totals numbers (in the NBA) than side
numbers. As long as the general public continues to stay away
from totals, the books will continue to take the small losses in
that area as long as they continue to profit on sides.
For most bettors it is easier to handicap teams than totals.
They know the players, they know the recent results, but knowing
how a team does relative to the over/under requires more
information than you can get from a mainstream sports site like
ESPN or the USA Today.
While the numbers for sides are relatively stable, the numbers
for totals tend to move more frequently. This instability is
great for bettors, who can find a wide range of numbers on a
particular game while gaining a chance to middle the books in
situations where a games line can move up to nine points.

historical basketball. Clubs like the Subs, the Mavs, and the

the playoffs quickly approaching, many coaches are finding
themselves on the proverbial hot seat.
NBA Playoffs 2010
The Drive for the Finals began with 16 elite teams. And now,
after all the game-winning heroics and breathtaking
buzzer-beaters, only two remain — it's the best in the West vs.
the East's elite. Which team will bring home the title? Get
ready for the excitement of the 2010 NBA Finals!
The NBA Playoffs are four rounds
of competition between sixteen teams in the Eastern Conference
and Western Conferences (called Divisions, pre-1970) of the
National Basketball Association. The winners of the First Round
advance to the Conference Semifinals, and the winners of the
Conference Semifinals go on to the NBA Conference Finals.
Finally, the champions of each conference face each other in the
NBA Finals.
The NBA Finals is the championship series of the National
Basketball Association, played under a best-of-seven playoff
format. The team winning the Eastern Conference Finals earns one
of the two berths in the championship round, with the other
going to the team that wins the Western Conference Finals.
2009 NBA Champions
| After seven years of
pent up frustration, the LA Lakers take the championship
trophy home. One year after failing miserably in the
finals against Boston, Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers
found redemption against the Magic. The Orlando Magic
fought hard in games 2, 3, and 4, of the NBA Finals but
still found themselves down 3-1 heading into Game 5
tonight in Orlando.
It was Kobe Bryant time
and in the 2009 Championship game, he wouldn’t be
denied.

Seeking his first 4th NBA
Championship, and 1st of which without Shaquille O’Neal at his
side, Kobe played great from start to finish. Bryant had a huge
game with 30 points, 6 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 4
blocks, setting the tone on both offense and defense for the
Lakers. As well, Kobe Bryant won the NBA Finals MVP for the
first time.
They finished a season they felt
was theirs with a 99-86 win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday
night in Game 5 to win the 15th NBA title in franchise history.
For Lakers coach Phil Jackson, this was title No. 10, moving him
past legendary Celtics coach Red Auerbach for the most by a
coach in league history.
