If you’re like me, you saw the Lakers’ win over the Celtics coming a mile away. The Celtics are attempting to shoot the moon to get Oden in the draft, so betting against them- in any game- is a sure-fire way to financial independence.
Add into the equation that the Lakers are trying desperately to get back on track after a six-game losing streak, after losing at home to the Trail Blazers, and there you have it: the perfect blowout storm.
Hopefully you were able to reap some economical benefit from an all-in, straight-up wager, not bothering with points. Once Phil Jackson made sure the Lakers could put the game away and secure any doubts about taking the team to a seven-game losing streak, Kobe Bryant was honorably discharged with 38 points.
If you wagered bets on Kobe’s scoring total for the night, you might have been a bit irked that Bryant didn’t play at all in the fourth quarter. He was well on his way to a fourth straight 40-point game against the Celtics.
Well, if you made some cash on the game get Lakers tickets to a luxury box for their next outing at the Staples Center. If you lost money on Bryant, however, check out StubHub.com for something a bit more thrifty.
