from Jeff Stoneback (manager of The Mirage sportsbook)
“The Thunder have gotten a lot of action in the past few hours, so much that they are a big wager away from pushing the line,”
“This is the first time in the entire playoffs that our bettors don’t overwhelmingly pick the Warriors.”
“The line could drop to 5.5 if this keeps up,” he said, while also noting the moneyline has the Thunder moving from +275 to +270 and the Warriors shifting from -335 to -330. “That’s all from action in the past few hours.”
Even as the holiday weekend wraps up in Vegas, the betting hasn’t slowed down.
“There’s quite a bit of money on the game,” Stoneback said. “And closer to tipoff, we’ll take some sizable wagers.”
