Bettors Put Most Money on Lakers to Win Title

Via ESPN:  

• Nearly 30% of the money that has been wagered on bookmaker William Hill’s odds to win the title is on the Lakers — almost three times as much as the team with the second-highest total.
• At Caesars Sportsbook, the Lakers have attracted nearly 2.5 times as much money as has been wagered on the second-highest team, the LA Clippers.
• Nearly one in every five NBA titles bets at MGM sportsbooks is on the Lakers

“We’ve taken a lot of large wagers on the Lakers, just continuous support on them,” Jeff Sherman, vice president of risk and head NBA oddsmaker for the SuperBook at Westgate Las Vegas, told ESPN.  

The Lakers have not made the playoffs since 2013 and finished with a losing record in each of the past six seasons.

Maybe the LeBron AD duo will land them another Chip.
