After spending $70 million on Joe Johnson and selecting Marvin Williams with the second pick of the 2005 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks never expected that they would open the season 0-9. In light of the Hawks' disappointing start, Bodog online casino has posted odds on when Atlanta will get its first win. Currently, the online casino lists tomorrow's game against the Celtics as the most likely date in which the Hawks will finally land their first victory of the season. According to the betting line offered at the online casino, the Hawks are given 2 to 1 of winning tomorrow's home game against Boston.
According to the online casino, the Hawks are 6 to 1 long shots to get their first win at Indiana three days from now, given that the Pacers are 4-1 at home. On November 27th, the Hawks will be facing the Portland at home. The online casino gives them 3 to 1 odds of landing their first victory over the Blazers. Next in line are the Rockers, whom the Hawks will be facing on the 29th of November in Houston. The online casino doesn't give them much of a chance then either with a 5 to 1 shot.
The betting line also indicated that the game in which Atlanta is least of all likely to win is the one against the Heat which will take place on November 30th. Even though the Heat will be playing without Shaq, they have enough talent to pull off a victory in Atlanta. The online casino also gives bettors the option of betting on the possibility that the Hawks will get their first W in December. At the present time, this option receives 4 to 1 odds. |
