Betting review of Boston vs LA Lakers

The historic clash in the NBA will see another episode tonight, but few times have these two proud basketball franchises been both so irrelevant.

Celtics is in rebuilding mode but honestly they were expected to be a little better than their current 5-11 record considering they play in the weak Eastern Conference and also had 10 games at home (3-7). Boston doesn’t really have any weapons aside of Rondo, but Rajon is a player that needs quality around him to maximize his passing abilities. Boston is coming after an overtime home win over Detroit two days ago, a team that the Lakers easily beat on the road this week.

LA has an abysmal 5-14 record (3-6 away) but they are much better than that, the losing record being largely due to the fact that they play in the stacked Western Conference and also have a bad matchup against run & gun teams, like most of the West is. Lakers have been abusing the East so far, winning 4 out of 5, including one over the current top East team, Toronto. Their first loss came two days ago against Wizards, but even that defeat came to show how weak the East is – Lakers played on the road against the current 2nd best team in the East, played a poor match and were still down by only 4 with 2 minutes to go. Look, LA is still not a great team, but surely they would be playoff bound in the East, which Boston clearly isn`t.

The Lakers have been really good to me this season – I picked them 4 times to win, each time against the East, each time I won. I don`t plan on going like this much longer since the bookies are finally giving them some respect and I don`t want to ride Los Angeles blindly until they lose, but these odds to win at Boston are still way too high. LA is the better team between these two, playing better basketball, does not have a bad matchup (actually a great one, will dominate the frontcourt where they usually struggle) and they are much better than their record says.

It remains to be seen how much of an impact home court advantage will have in this massive derby clash, but Lakers to win is my tip, they have at least 50% chances to pull it off. No point in taking the 3,5 spread as far as I`m concerned, the value is on Lakers to win and the spread is not too big. I expect Kobe to have a good one after two weak performances, so that should also be a huge boost for LA. My bet comes with 10 units here. Prediction: Boston Celtics – Los Angeles Lakers 100-108.

Spread Betting Explained

So, what is the Bet? Unlike traditional share trading, you never own the actual share or commodity. You only make a call on whether you think it will go up or down in value. You stake a certain amount of money per point movement; the more it moves in your favour the more money you make, the more it moves against your prediction, the more you lose.

Ehat is the Spread? Concept is same like a stock future. The spread is the difference between buying ans selling price. You will buy at the higher price if you think the market will rise (Going Long), or sell at the lower price if you think the market will fall (Going Short). The tighter the spread, the smaller the market has to move for you to make a profit.

Now that your concept is clear, US readers you might want to skip rest of the article as SPREAD BETTING IS LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED IN USA. Spread betting can be done in UK, few other european markets and Australia only at this time. They are operated by brokers, known as spread betting companies.

What can you Spread Bet on?

Pretty much everything that can be individually traded are in scope of spread betting.

  • Stock market indices – This is the most commonly traded aspect in spread betting. You can spread bet on almost all major intl. markets
  • Individual Stocks – Shares in individual companies from any market in the world
  • Commodities – Almost all commonly traded commodities, metals, fodder and agricultural produces.
  • Currencies – Foreign Exchange, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD etc.
  • Interest rates and Bonds – Short term or long term interest rates, Government Bonds or gilts.

How does a Spread Bet work?

First, you select your target, whether its a stock index or an individual stock you want to bet on.

Let’s take a Dow for example

Start by checking the price quoted by the spread betting company. It will be the actual index share price. There will be always be two prices, a buying price and a selling price; example 11900 – 12050

As first step you must decide if you expect DOW to go up higher than the buy price, or go down lower than the sell price. If you think it will go up, you buy DOW at the buy price, if you think DOW to go down, you will sell DOW at the sell price.

As second step, you must decide how much you are betting, that is the amount of money you gain or lose per point of movement on the value of the index. It is always expressed in currency per point of movement e.g. £10 per point.

If you buy DOW at 11900 and it moves up by 100 points and at that point you decide to sell, you made a profit of 100 (points) * 10 (per point) = £1000. You may loose a huge amount of money if luck is not in your side.

If you sell to open your trade, you sell at the lower price, and when you close the trade, you must close at the higher price quoted at the time. You can close a trade at any time whether you are making a profit or a loss. You do not have to meet any specific value on any specific date.

You can put stop loss the same way you do with your loosing stocks to cut down your losses.

Spread betting companies require a security deposit to cover potential losses, known as margin requirement.

Boxing Betting For Dummies

Have you ever thought about betting on boxing but did not know what to do? Well, thanks to the Internet, it’s pretty easy. I hope I didn’t offend anyone by branding this article for Dummies, but I figured it would grab your attention. If you are still reading, it obviously did. With that, let’s get to the quick tutorial.

Boxing Odds

Boxing uses the money line and odds are placed next to each boxer’s name. The boxer with the negative (-) number is the favorite and the one with the positive (+) one is the underdog. It’s really simple: whenever there is a negative (-), you lay that amount to win a dollar; whenever there is a positive (+), you get that amount for every dollar wagered.

For example, the odds on a boxing match could read:

  • De La Hoya -300
  • Pacquiao +200
  • Draw +1,000

In this mythical matchup, bettors who wager on De La Hoya will have to risk $300 dollars in order to win $100 dollars, while folks who bet on Pacquiao would wager $100 dollars to win $200 dollars. Those bettors who believe the fight will end in a draw would risk $100 dollars to win $1,000 dollars.

On all boxing bets, your fighter must win the fight or you lose your wager. If the fight is a draw, bets on both fighters are declared losers, and only the bookmakers and anyone who bet on the draw win.

Proposition Bets

Proposition bets or props, are single wagers placed on outcomes that are not directly related to who is going to win or lose the fight.

The most popular boxing prop is the over/under for how long the fight will last. This wager works similar to the over/under bet in other sports, but instead of betting on the number of points scored in a game, you are betting on how many rounds the fight will last.

  • De La Hoya vs Pacquiao Lasts Over 8 Rounds -150
  • De La Hoya vs Pacquiao Lasts Under 8 Rounds +100

If you wager on the over (eight full rounds), you will win your bet as long as both fighters are in the ring for the start of the ninth round. You would bet $150 dollars in order to win $100 dollars.

If you wager on the under (eight full rounds), you will win your bet as long as the fight is stopped anytime before the end of the eight round. You would bet $100 dollars in order to win $100 dollars.

If the fight is stopped between the end of the eighth round and the beginning of the ninth round, all over/under bets would be declared losers and only the house (bookmakers) win.

Betting on the Knockout

The other main proposition wager in boxing is betting on which fighter will win by a knockout or stoppage. Using the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao example again, check out these make-believe odds:

  • Oscar De La Hoya by KO or stoppage -200
  • Manny Pacquiao by KO or stoppage +200

For this bet, Golden Boys win $100 dollars on a $200 wager, if De La Hoya scores a knockout or the referee stops the bout and declares him the winner. If he wins the fight by decision, his backers lose the wager because he did not win by knockout or stoppage.

For the Pac-Men, the same situation applies. Pacquiao must win by knockout or stoppage in order for his backers to be paid $200 dollars on a wager of $100 dollars.

It may have been a bit long-winded, but these are the basics of betting on boxing. For the record, I am not a professional gambler; I’m just a boxing fanatic who likes to predict boxing winners and losers. If you want to put your prediction skills to the test, you at least now know what to do. Whether you predict the right big fight
results is another matter altogether!
