Who’s the public money on to win it all?

Been looking for handle numbers for the series. Anyone have any?

In vegas there is a 2-1 or more money push on celtics - I might buy out

More early money on Mavs probably late money coming in on Boston but it doesn't matter. Celtics win the Finals.

 Nope

According to Patrick Everson 82% of the money is on Dallas to win it all!

I call BS on Patrick Everson. 82% is silly. Finals are rarely bet that unevenly and the Celtics are a popular team and favorite and won at a record pace this year. Although the Mavericks have lots of folks getting on their bandwagon, if you really believe Celtics are getting less than 20% of the action, I would call that naive.

You are being sold a story. Would you have believed it if you were told a Brady led Patriots in the Superbowl or Alabama in the NCAA championship were getting less than 20% action regardless of their season or who they were playing? I'm not buying. Betting it game by game but not based on stories like this

@LVPrince

 hes been right every series and NFL season with his tweets what changes now?

I made money with his tweets!

80% of the money is on Mavs ML game 1 and Mavs spread is 51% of the money.

BOL

Jeff Sherman, vice president of risk for The SuperBook, sees it differently.

"We might be different than other books, but we are seeing good two-way on the series and more Boston support for Game 1," Sherman said. "It's similar to the Warriors when they were at their heights and the earlier Lakers. But not with quite the same faith. I'm sure that's due to the struggles with an Indiana team missing Haliburton for a few games."

"If the Celtics had done anything noteworthy in that series, this [series] number would have been higher," Sherman added. "Prior to the playoffs, we would've had Boston around -400 vs the Mavericks. So the lower price has been accounted for in both teams' recent performances."

Stories

I would wager more  are on the Celtics 2win the final hahaha 

The line didn’t move much. Dallas was +195 opening and +195 now

espn bet gambling show had stat up on Tues show, saying it was approx 80% on MAVS for the Series.. 

I believe it was over 80%, but I was sick on tues so a little foggy lol

@LVPrince

 the biggest factor is who is going to protect the rim for the MAVS both Unicorn and Horford are going to keep Gafford and Lively out the Paint. IF they dont guard Unicorn or Al to protect the RIM then Celtics will be hitting a lot of 3's with Unicorn or Horford. Thats is why I like Celtics not just because all the money is on Dallas or Celtics.

Bet mgm is reporting money on Mavs to win series and game 1.

The worst outcome is Mavs in 6 games.

Best outcome is Celtics in 4 or 5.

Worst outcome is Kyrie MVP

Best outcome is Celtics win and Tatum MVP

We'll  see how the books do.

I see fanduel has 75% of bets on Mavs

And 67% money on Mavs for game 1

I don't see for series

Hey, I like them too . They should win, I just don't trust them that much from a gambling perspective, I mean , Al Horford coming off the bench all year, 3 point shooters everywhere and great D.  They have blown so many spreads that this may be the time to take them. I just don't trust the betting #s the gambling establishment keeps throwing at the contrarian public bettors(irony intended). Especially when they start claiming games are 80-95% one sided.

@LVPrince

 You might be right and Im wrong, Im only betting $50 cause anything could happen especially in Game 1. 

Nice win, Celtics played like Celtics can. I was on the under and kept hoping for a chance to get the Celtics for a good price in game but it was a boat race and no deals. What's next? Clearly everyone can see that Boston is the superior team, so now you have to be very careful. I've been pretty sure all year that they'll win the ring but covering spreads after this is iffy .

@LVPrince

 I think Mavs will win one game maybe. Their  2 Big man are to slow and won't be able to protect the rim. Kyrie is now like 0-11 vs Boston. Kyrie and Luka are playing 1 vs 5 they dont move the ball. Celtics should win the series 4-1 or maybe a sweep if they can win game 2 because Mavs play better on the road than at home.

Media and Sportsbooks (media's actual business partners btw) have been working overtime all week to convince people that Mavs is the play.

@LedZe

Always suspicious when there's so much "media hype " ..Don't Fall for it..they have an "agenda" 

Books were right on the money game 1. BetMGM said publ7c likes Mavs cause Celtics played weaker opps while Mavs played the tougher opps so public likes Mavs they are not giving Celtics the same credit we are.

I watch every episode of ESPN Bet Live, and watch many other ESPN talk shows.  There has been a LOT of Doncic/Irving hype, including some talk of "best backcourt ever."  Combined with the "BOS played a bunch of crippled teams," the lopsided handle was real, not some bullshxt conspiracy theory.

Media conspiracy, sportsbook reporting conspiracy.? I'm sure the betting was somewhat one sided depending on where you checked and the region, but from everything I've seen or read or anyone I've talked to around the country , including Covers and a small book I know it wasn't close to 82% for Dallas to cover or ML or series. 62-38%, or something like that ,possibly. Depends on where you are. What I'm saying is you have to take extreme #s with a grain of salt.

I've seen sites report 98% on one side of a total on a major nationally televised game. If you know total players, you've got to have some doubts about the accuracy of that.
