Welcome to NELSBET, the NSL's home of Championship Odds. Below is the journey of the first week of Playoffs and the ever-fluctuating market. NELSBET would like to take this moment to remind punters to Gamble Responsibly and not pick apart the shitty formatting (which was a genuine headache). 

The original odds took very little time to fluctuate due to an influx of problem gamblers. It turns out GMs really do have have endless pockets as millions was outlayed in the first hours. 

 Punters rumoured to be buying LAC at those odds “all day.” Toronto’s odds came in though, we still need to clarify how much a ‘week’s wage’ is. Plenty of interest circulating around ‘already short’ Miami odds. Sacramento surprise movers as their odds move out. Punters unsure what to make of the glitch king roster. @Klemmelo yet to check his super and get in touch with the book keeper, but one feels at $6, it’ll be hard to resist going ‘all-in.’ Portland move to clear favourites while the Bulls sitting stable in 2nd. GS, Washington, Philly and Dallas all pushing out with little interest coming at juicy odds. Of those teams, GS look value for a cheeky $5k bet. Though talk about Lakers has been swirling, rumours about morale and new management is scaring off keeping punters cautious. With that roster at those odds, you’d think theyd climb? 50k dropped on the Spurs (rumoured to be on the same punter who put a cool 100k on the Blazers). Detroit and Cleveland holding in the middle bracket as punters come to the value section of the market.

 A big day in the odds room, with numbers fluctuating across the board. At the top, the favourites continued to come in leaving a clear 1st and 2nd in Portland and Chicago. Many punters believed @JMAC ‘s latest statement lacked confidence as few words were used

to encapsulate the trailblazers season. Perhaps pulling the competition? The punters can’t tell. Chicago received a few heavy bets as they distanced themselves from the rest of the pack. Punters have eased on Miami and Clippers as their odds came in, taking away the early value. Phoenix were the heavy climber as punters saw an opportunity to get a division champ/ conference 2nd place at significantly valuable odds. Atlanta held firm as expert analysis indicate they’re in a strong position for their rd 1 match up. The Kings continues to freefall as @Klemmelo is yet to be seen at the ATM. Rumours are he’s gathering lucrative backers so he can go hard once the odds blowout too far. Lebron + chip on shoulder = trouble. Sad news out of SA has punters unsure of future. Lakers have been making ground as their odds were ‘waaaay to generous’ according to one degenerate. Detroit, Cleveland, GSW and Washington continued to climb as value betting became in vogue. Philly continued to fall after GM @Nenjabin delivered a press release saying ‘we’d be lucky to take one game off the Bulls.’ All betting on Dallas has been suspended as the league continue to investigate tanking allegations. Toronto making ground on the kinds as $7 seen as too much value.

 

 

Plenty of movement overnight as Portland secure favouritism going into game 1 of the first round. Chicago have been stable at $2.50 and provided there’s no weakness shown game 1, should hold the $2.50 odds into the week of playoffs. Miami continued to move up as a $10k certainty bet was placed. People really buying stock based on the talented roster and GM. A clear top 3 favourites now. The clippers fell a little as interest garnered around their series vs San Antonio. A degenerate gambler (who shall not be named) dropped another $50k on spurs after an earlier $50k on spurs at the $8 mark. This degenerate also has $100k on the blazers and if the East don’t show up he will be selling off assets like Jetstar just to stay afloat. Atlanta and Toronto held firm as punters are keen to see the outcome of game 1 of their respective series. 

 

Sacramento are in free fall and rumours are GM @Klemmelo is licking his lips as odds continue to get juicier. Nelsbet is expecting a bet at the deadline where the Klemm syndicate take full advantage.

The punters are growing in confidence in Lakers as their GM shows up in discord. A statement saying “we’ve arrived” expected shortly. Detroit and Cleveland held firm as the league anticipates their first round match-ups. The fans are rubbing hands together about a Simmons-George one on one which will indicate the series fav.

GSW continued to make ground and are joining the middle favourites. While Washington hold firm behind GM Josh’s new found love for Capela. Philly and Dallas appear to be in the value/unbackable section. Punters still await a statement from GM @Nenjabin to follow up his “we’re fucked” presser from earlier in the week. The big question punters want to know is, are @LJ Maverick and his boys tanking or trying to win. There odds appear to be resting on the answer to the big question.

 

Plenty of movements in the market now we’re are officially underway! The top 2 favourites move away from pack after strong openings to the post season. Punters are so confident making them almost unbackable favourites. The heat dropped away after a game one defeat though many are expecting a bounce back game two. Punters wanting value, now is your time. Toronto and San Antonio’s odds came in by a couple of dollars as they started well in their respective season. Rumour is GM Jesse Dunne - Raptors has already cashed out and upgraded his garage TV unit, moving from cardboard to plywood. The clippers took a slight hit which providesterrific value as experienced observers anticipate a bounce back in game 2.

Piece. It seems the standard of play has many punters hedging both teams fromFunnily, Sac and Lakers had their odds come in as their series is tied at one a this series as they look genuine title threats.

Phoenix took a hit after GM Laddas (Suns) labelled their game one performance a “Dafuq game.” Rumour is Jimmy and CP3 stayed back in the stands until 2am arguing about shots. Will the negative energy turn game 2? Cleveland and GSW climbed significantly as both teams looked sharp in respective upset wins. The warrior’s odds came in a $2.50 overnight and they still offer great value at $8.55. Detroit has a heavy backer before game one and though they lost, their game plan looked good enough to get close to the Raps, their odds will be watched closely during game 2. Philly and Dallas both looked determined in their first games and deserved to come up in odds, however being down 1 didn’t encourage any punters overnight. Atlanta and Washington are currently in action and their odds depend heavily on outcome.
