“It was great for us,” said Halvor Egeland, a Betmgm trader, in Yahoo Sports about the elimination of the Lakers. “They were our biggest responsibility for the title. It is always a wrestling of these public teams. The additional handle that happens is great, but it obviously brings more risks. We could not write a bet on the wolves before the start of the series either. It was a fantastic result for us.”
Egeland's point, 88% of the total dollars bet on the price of the series in Betmgm was on the Lakers, as well as 69% of betting.
Los Angeles is still a public team and will attract disproportionate actions compared to the overall quality of the team, but the future Paris on the Lakers took steam after the team acquired the superstar Luka Dončić in February. The Lakers were also favorites to win the series against the Timberwolves.
The biggest betting on Betmgm was a bet of $ 100,000 on Lakers at 10-1 dimensions to win everything, which would have gained $ 1 million. Instead, he will return to the corporate chests, as well as the rest of the long -term tickets to Los Angeles.
