There were several juicy sports betting stories from this past weekend. Here were three that stood out to us:
1. Heat Warning in Denver
Double-digit comeback wins have been a staple of this Miami postseason run. Last night was no different, as the Heat were down as many as 15 points before storming back to tie the NBA Finals.
Their longest live moneyline odds in Game 2? That would be +750. One other fun fact? The Heat have had 7 comeback wins with a deficit of at least 12 points this postseason. That’s only two fewer than their entire regular season (9).
2. Everything Came Up Roses
There was a lot of hype surrounding Rose Zhang ahead of her pro debut at the Mizuho American Open. After she outlasted Jennifer Kupcho in a playoff, Zhang became the first golfer to win her LPGA Tour debut since Beverly Hanson in 1951.
Zhang was priced at +4500 to win the Mizuho American Open, and we doubt she’ll be closing in that range again anytime soon.
3. The Sky Is Falling!
After a few major acquisitions this offseason, the Liberty entered the WNBA season as a top championship contender. New York won four of its first five contests heading into yesterday’s clash with the Chicago Sky.
The Sky closed as +675 underdogs, and were getting 12.5 points on the road. Chicago was down 19 points early in the third quarter, and were able to complete a massive comeback to pull off the biggest upset of the WNBA campaign thus far.
