Vegas Basketball Odds
Vegas Basketball Odds Bettor Beware of Changes
Basketball around the world has never been as popular as it is today. Basketball is no longer considered a national sport endemic to America. The United States founded the game and had success in the sport early on. On a professional level, the United States was forced to enter an all star team of professional players from the NBA to compete in the Olympics of 1992 because our collegiate stars were no longer strong enough to compete with the professionals from other countries. Our College All Star squad took it on the chin in the World Games in the late 80’s, and the United States was smarting after suffering their first international setbacks in the game they invented. A loss in the 1988 Olympic Games where the United States could muster no higher than a third place finish was too much for them to bear. On the international level, you would have to go all the way back to the finals of the 1972 Summer Olympic Games when the international referees gave the Russians three chances to win the game in the final two seconds before they were able to wrest the victory from the Americans. This was the first loss for the Americans in Olympic basketball prior to the defeat in 1988.
In 1992, the “Dream Team” was formed, and NBA stars Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Chris Mullin, Reggie Miller and Clyde Drexler awed the world with their display of mastery of the sport of basketball. The Vegas basketball odds had the United States 30–40 point favorites and they disappointed no one, especially the Vegas basketball odds bettors. The Vegas basketball odds appear as the morning line in every morning newspaper in the world. After the team conducted its early morning workout on game day, there were often changes in the Vegas basketball odds because of injuries and/or sickness to players, or the preponderance of bets on one team over their opponent. It is necessary for the smart sports betting investor to reflect on the reasons for the changes in the Vegas basketball odds before placing any bets on these games. A leading source for Vegas basketball odds is LinesMaker Sportsbook.
