NBL Championship and MVP Odds
PERTH WILDCATS 3.00
GOLD COAST BLAZE 4.00
MELBOURNE TIGERS 5.00
NEW ZEALAND BREAKERS 8.00
SYDNEY KINGS 9.00
ADELAIDE 36ERS 15.00
WOLLONGONG HAWKS 15.00
CAIRNS TAIPANS 26.00
TOWNSVILLE CROCODILES 26.00
If there were a trading market for bets, I think you could pick up Adelaide at $15 and sell down the track.
Perth are short, but I think they're also such strong favourites that you'd have to consider it. Breakers could be value at $8. Nothing else though.
Here are the MVP odds:
MILLS, Patty (MEL) 2.50
KHAZZOUH, Julian (SYD) 5.00
WORTHINGTON, Mark (GCB) 5.00
REDHAGE, Shawn (PER) 7.00
MARTIN, Damian (PER) 12.00
UBAKA, Ayinde (MEL) 15.00
WARREN, Chris (ADE) 17.00
ABERCROMBIE, Thomas (NZL) 21.00
GIBSON, Adam (GCB) 21.00
GRANT, Jerai (SYD) 21.00
LOUGHTON, Alex (CRN) 21.00
NEVILL, Luke (PER) 21.00
WILKINSON, Gary (NZL) 21.00
CATRON, Joevan (WOL) 41.00
MIMS, Elvin (TOW) 41.00
SCHENSCHER, Luke (TOW) 41.00
BALLINGER, Adam (ADE) 51.00
WEIGH, Stephen (ADE) 51.00
CROSSWHITE, Ian (CRN) 61.00
FORMAN, Oscar (WOL) 61.00
GYNES, Alex (SYD) 61.00
HARVEY, James (GCB) 61.00
JOHNSON, Daniel (ADE) 61.00
KNIGHT, Matthew (PER) 61.00
VUKONA, Mika (NZL) 61.00
WARREN, Andrew (CRN) 61.00
WILSON, Jamar (CRN) 61.00
BURSTON, Matthew (MEL) 81.00
CRAWFORD, Peter (TOW) 81.00
DAVIDSON, Larry (WOL) 81.00
DORSEY, Ronald (MEL) 81.00
LISCH, Kevin (PER) 81.00
SAVILLE, Glen (WOL) 81.00
TRAGARDH, Cameron (MEL) 81.00
Not excited about any of those short-priced options. Mills may not stay the entire season. Khazzouh will have more competition at the Kings this year. It's quite remarkable that the first NZ appearances are from $21 and up.
One of these guys wouldn't be out of the question:
ABERCROMBIE, Thomas (NZL) 21.00 - someone is going to have to fire for NZ
WILKINSON, Gary (NZL) 21.00 - can score and board
BALLINGER, Adam (ADE) 51.00 - has been an MVP candidate in the past
WEIGH, Stephen (ADE) 51.00 - could be his year
JOHNSON, Daniel (ADE) 61.00 - or his
DORSEY, Ronald (MEL) 81.00 - wouldn't count him out
TRAGARDH, Cameron (MEL) 81.00 - someone has to get the numbers inside at Melbourne
