Man I hope the rockets stun the world so every one of these media meat socks shut their c*ck washers.
Eh. Vegas is good at picking elections, because betting on the actions of large groups of dumb voters is pretty predictable stuff. Betting on the overall outcome of only 7 games in this year's Western conference? With the Rockets, a basically unpredictable team, playing? After what they just did to the Clippers? 88%? That's the equivalent of narrowing down a multiple choice question to two answers, having no clue what the real answer is, and just penciling in the bubble next to words you recognize vs. words you don't. Doesn't mean you're right in the slightest, but might as well fill in some answer.
The casino wants to make a profit. The P(A|B)=1 the Casino is Pricing P(A|B)=1.05. That .05 represents their profit. The Casino is simply trying to make the bets on both sides so it can make money. They are not in the business of trying to pick winners and loser. The betting community thinks the warriors have 88% chance of winning. A quick example: bet on GS 880 bet on Hou 170 If Houston wins the payout is 170/100*475 = 807.5+170= 977.5 If GS wins payout is 880/750*100 = 117.3+880 = 997 No matter who wins they make money. If they don't get money in a certain way then you could end up with the following: 750 on gs 100 on rockets If GS wins they make $0 if rockets win they make $275.
Pretty unrealistic odds. That goes to show you that the more popular team will always be favorites in Vegas. Series hasnt started and we haven't even gotten to see any semblance of an appropriate match up between these two teams. Its essentially a coin flip at this point
