I would say do not bet on Mavericks just yet. Sure they might become a team that will challenge for a title in few seasons but not right now, not this soon.
With that odds I can bet, but I won't expect that they have a big chance of winning and even going into the NBA finals.
This is just like a lottery bet though, only bet what you can afford to lose, just to have some excitement while watching, I think that would help.
Same here, I might take that odds but I will not expect hard that I will win, maybe we can bet like $10 or $100 for that, depending on your budge actually. For a +3700 odds, if you bet $100, the return of your money if you win is $3700, that's a huge amount, right?
Worth taking a shot IMO.
You might see Luka's stats and get fooled and you might think just because they managed to be in playoffs after a rebuild so quickly they might upset some teams however even if they go to finals which is a big if and won't happen there is still the team from the east as well.
So, they need to beat 4 better teams and that doesn't happen, you might get lucky with one, you might just pull it off with the second one but not 4 teams on 7 game series. Most likely outcome right now is either first round exit or a second round exit, that's it. However in few years I do see them becoming contenders, just like how Giannis took Bucks to a whole new level, I am sure Luka will too.
Nothing is impossible though the chance is small, we are not just talking about Luka here but the entire Dallas Mavericks roster, they are all capable of winning and they are hungry that's why you can bet on them.
That's why you should only bet a small amount so you can just forget it if that would result to a losing bet.
In the playoffs, it's a different kind of game, who knows we will see a smarter and a better Dallas Mavericks team who could compete with the heavy favorites in the league.
Based on the odds from a particular sportsbook shared in the previous page.
Top favorites are ; 1) LA Lakers 2) Bucks 3) LA Clippers
