Odds to Win the 2012-2013 NBA Championship
by Joe D’Amico
Hello sports fans, Joe D’Amico here and once again it is NBA Playoffs’ time. We have the eight top teams in each Conference fighting it out to be crowned this year’s best. Below are the current odds from three different places: The first is from the biggest sports books in Vegas, the second the most respected off shores, and the third is the biggest Consensus used by both.
| Miami | 1-2 | 1-2 | 2-3 |
| Oklahoma City | 7-2 | 5-1 | 9-2 |
| San Antonio | 8-1 | 12-1 | 10-1 |
| Denver | 15-1 | 25-1 | 25-1 |
| LA Clippers | 15-1 | 25-1 | 25-1 |
| New York | 15-1 | 15-1 | 15-1 |
| Memphis | 25-1 | 30-1 | 40-1 |
| Indiana | 30-1 | 30-1 | 25-1 |
| Chicago | 35-1 | 60-1 | 60-1 |
| Brooklyn | 50-1 | 60-1 | 60-1 |
| Boston | 75-1 | 60-1 | 66-1 |
| Golden State | 75-1 | 75-1 | 100-1 |
| Houston | 100-1 | 100-1 | 100-1 |
| Atlanta | 150-1 | 250-1 | 150-1 |
| LA Lakers | 200-1 | 75-1 | 40-1 |
| Milwaukee | 300-1 | 400-1 | 500-1 |
As you can see, there are some that are exactly the same, some that are very close, and a few that are quite a ways off from the one another. Barring a major injury or suspension, Miami, Oklahoma City, and San Antonio are on a higher level from the rest of the pack. With Kobe Bryant out, so is the Lakers. Denver, New York and the Clippers are the next tier but each just fall a bit short. The rest are either too old, not enough experience, or got decimated by a key injury or two. There is always a chance if you have made it this far but let’s face it, Pro Basketball doesn’t see the Cinderella teams as often as the NCAA does. If you play it smart you can bet teams worth value then hedge off on individual games and make a buck r two. I know that going into the playoffs, my NBA finished the regular season at 19-4 my L23 overall. I posted a HUGE DISCOUNTED PLAYOFFS PKG for less than the price of just 1 big play. This will pay for itself on Day 1. Be smart and follow a proven post-season winner. Thank you and Good Luck. Joe D’Amico.
