Is The New Look Heat A Better Bet In The Online Wagering Action Than The Lakers?

December 8th, 2021 Online Wagering

Winning back to back NBA betting titles is no easy feat and one that rarely occurred in the online wagering era. But by claiming that 2010 NBA betting title that’s exactly what the LA Lakers did.  The Lakers have what many sports betting experts consider to be the best player in the NBA odds action and the best center in basketball betting.  So how this team not be the favorite on online wagering companies’ web sites to win next year’s NBA betting title.

Crazy Pat Riley is the reason why, or to be more precise, the free agents that he’s bringing to the Miami Heat are the reason why the LA Lakers are not the favorites to Three-peat on online wagering companies’ betting sites.  As good as the Lakers are and as talented as they’ve proven to be at winning the biggest prize in NBA betting the collection of talent that Riley has brought to the Heat is simply unprecedented in online wagering.

Never before have we seen three players of the caliber of Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James played on the same team.   Obviously the online wagering gurus believe that this injection of talent is enough to win the NBA betting title as they’ve recently put the Heat at the top of the online wagering odds to win the 2010-11 NBA Finals, just above the defending champion Lakers.

Those are pretty lofty expectations for a team that has only 4 players on its current roster.  Since basketball is played with five players at a time and a rotation of 8-9 players there are still plenty of questions about this team.  However, Boston did something very similar three years ago when they brought in two superstars (Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett) to play with all star Paul Peirce.  That team was awfully similar in the fact that it had three top players and had to fill in the roster with no name players making the league minimum.

Obviously that turned out alright with the Celtics winning the NBA online wagering title that year and nearly winning a second ring two years later.  But the biggest difference between that team and the Heat team that Riley is building is that the Heat is much better.  There is no contest between the trio of KG, Allen and Pierce vs. the trio King James, Wade and Bosh.

The Heat is much better and that is why the online wagering experts have picked them to win next year’s NBA betting title.
