Vegas Odds have Changed: Cleveland now 2010 Favorites

There is a direct correlation between the Cavaliers’ success and the chances LeBron stays in Cleveland. It’s just very difficult for LeBron to say goodbye to his hometown if they’re in the beginning stages of becoming a dynasty. Apparently Vegas agrees as well; below are the latest odds of where LeBron will end up in 2010. Take a look back at our previous post when the Knicks were the favorite. Suddenly a 39-2 home record and an injured Kevin Garnett have cleared the way for a Kobe v. LeBron showdown that has shifted Cleveland back to being the 2010 favorites. This comes as no surprise as it is also in line with the trend of our polling at C2L over the past 2 months. If Knick fans want a realistic shot of LeBron leaving town, they should start rooting for Pistons resurgence and upset in Round 1 immediately…

Cavaliers +150

Knicks +170

Nets +350

Pistons +550

Knick fans should not be too discouraged as it’s still neck and neck. Right now a $100 bet pays off $170 if LeBron plays his first game for New York in 2010. However, Cleveland is the slight favorite as the same $100 bet pays $150 if he suits up for the Cavs
