NBA Finals Betting Prediction – Lakers or Celtics? Who Cares. Just Win Your Bet

All this talk about who will win tonight’s NBA Finals betting doesn’t really matter if you’re thinking smart as an NBA Finals bettor.

NBA Finals Game 7
Lakers vs. Celtics 9:05 EST

NBA Finals Betting Odds:
Boston Celtics +7 (-110)      +260   over 186 (-110)
L.A. Lakers       -7 (-110)        -320   under 186 (-110)

After tonight’s game, do you want to say, “Hey, my Lakers won! But… I lost my bet.” As much as you might think it’s okay, you wish you could pick an easy winning bet and have your favorite team win.

Why not have the best of both worlds? There will be countless columnists, sports writers, and NBA Finals betting analysts looking to help you pick tonight’s winner, but I am here to say that you shouldn’t pick either team.

Here’s an interesting stat. Each of the last four games in this 2010 NBA Finals betting series have gone under. This is a striking statistic, considering that both teams are finishing this series running on fumes (as showcased by the horrendous shooting efforts put out by the Celtics in Game 6 and the Lakers in Game 5).

The Celtics and Lakers will be more fatigued in this game than any of the previous games in the series.

You would be a fool to try and pick a winner with the unpredictability that has been shown in this NBA Finals betting series. The Celtics shot almost 60% in Game 5 and then shot just over 30% in Game 6.

In Game 2, Ray Allen drops Trey Bombs like it’s his job and the next game he couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.

I know everyone will be quick to bet on “their team” as loads of emotion and tradition are tied to this Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals betting series. But, as a bettor, I am saying, resist the temptation. Stay away from trying to pick the winning team in this game.

Whether the Lakers or Celtics win tonight it doesn’t really matter if you’re an NBA bettor. All that is important is that you picked a winning play tonight in the last game of the 2010 NBA season.
