I'm going to be real up front about this and say that I don't bet and don't have any idea what these numbers mean. Not that I'm morally opposed to it or anything, It's just not something I'm interested in. I make barely enough as it is to consider risking any on a sporting event, no matter how confident I was.
THAT SAID, there might be some of you curious about this, or maybe you know something others don't--please share in the comments--so what follows are the current odds on all sorts of things (like, "Will LeBron wear his headband?" because yes, that is a thing you can risk your hard-earned money on) from top-shelf sportsbookies Bovada.
“After an instant classic in game 6, we posted the Miami Heat as 6.5 point favorites for game 7. However, significant sharp action moved the line to Miami -6 early this morning. Since the move we have been seeing steady two-way action with 45% of players betting the Heat and 55% of players betting the Spurs. As has been the case for the majority of the series, the book will be pulling for LeBron James (headband or not) and the Miami Heat to win game 7 and keep the title in South Beach.”
