The winners of each the Eastern and Western Conference face off in the NBA Finals series.
So accurately predicting the winners of each conference may not be as huge of an accomplishment as it would be to predict the NBA Finals Champion, but it’s a pretty close second. Once the season gets going, you will find plenty of NBA futures odds, including the NBA conference odds. You will find all team’s odds of winning their respective divisions, and your job is to pick accurately!
Obviously, betting on NBA Conference odds is pretty straightforward, but you are betting on a future outcome, so you have a 1/15 chance of being accurate. However, it is much easier to bet on Conference and Divisional futures than it is to bet on the NBA Finals.
Usually, bettors will place a reasonable wager at the start of the season, but you start to see the real money rolling in as the playoffs get closer. Big bettors will start flooding sportsbooks with their larger wagers as it becomes a little more apparent who the front runners are.
