Current NBA Championship Odds From William Hill. Thanks LeBron.

LeBron James - Cleveland Cavaliers
LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers

The last time I looked at NBA Championship futures I said:

If I were placing a bet today (I would never) I might drop a minimum bet on the Chicago Bulls at 10-1 Cleveland Cavaliers at 50-1.

Low and behold the LeBron James signed with the Cavaliers and their odds are down to 9/2 (that’s 4.5-1) from 50-1. I don’t think the Cavs will win it all but that’s a nice value play. The Bulls odds are still 10-1 and probably not going anywhere.

Right now the New York Knicks look like the only team whose odds might change drastically when Carmelo Anthony re-signs but they still have no shot at the NBA championship.

The only other change in odds I see are the Houston Rockets if Chris Bosh signs. They might swing to 8-1 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers.

Updated odds to win the NBA Championship are below.

Who ya got now?

A lot of changes are planned for the new Westgate Las Vegas, here’s what you need to know:

United States Vs. Belgium World Cup Prop Bets From William Hill

United States World Cup Soccer
United States Soccer

Whether you’re interested in the World Cup or just interested in sports betting these are the William Hill prop bets available for the US vs. Belgium match on Tuesday.

I don’t bet soccer (or football or futball or whatever you want to call it) but I really enjoy the World Cup. In fact, I’ve been enjoying the World Cup more than expected this year. This is my first World Cup in Vegas and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the excitement during the games in the various sportsbooks I’ve visited.

Are there any worthwhile prop bets here?
