Sportsbetting on the Portland Trail Blazers will now include All-Star guard Brandon Roy for five more years, as the y signed him to a five-year contract extension. The specific numbers are not known but Roy will be making the NBA maximum salary. The NBA salary cap will be reset next July as sports betting online info tells us.
Sportsbetting records have the numbers for Roy being worth about $82 million over the next five years. Roy earned almost $4 million this season but with the new deal he will make about $14 million per season as online betting tells us. Roy led the Blazers with 22.6 points and 5.1 assists per game last season as sportsbetting stats indicate.
The Blazers were 54-28 last season but lost in the first round of the playoffs. Many sports betting online experts believe that Portland is a team to watch in the Western Conference. With Roy in the fold for years to come the Blazers are looking at extending the contract of LaMarcus Aldridge as well. Now if the Blazers could just get Greg Oden to stay healthy and start playing up to his supposed ability they could really be a team to watch in online betting.
Portland is 22-1 to win the NBA title in sportsbetting for the 2009-2010 season. The Blazers were a successful team last year in terms of sportsbetting as they went 45-36 against the online sportsbook number. They were far better at home though than on the road. The Blazers were 26-14 against the sports betting online number at home. They were 19-22 versus the sportsbetting number on the road last season.
The Blazers were a little bit of an over team at home last season versus the sportsbetting odds. They went over in 20 games, under in 19 games and had one tie versus the online sportsbook number. On the road though, they were a team that went under the sportsbetting total. 23 of their road games went under the sportsbetting total a year ago. Sportsbetting gamblers may not take the Blazers to win it all in 2009-2010 but they may take Portland when they are at home based on last year’s sports betting online results.
Portland should be an interesting team to follow in sportsbetting this season and Brandon Roy is the main reason why. He is one of the best players in the NBA and the Blazers did the right thing by locking him up for years to come.
