June 9 - The sports betting public continue to pour money down on the Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals, even though that strategy has failed dismally thus far. The first two games in Boston both went the way of the Celtics, and both were convincing victories that covered the spread (ATS wins) as well.

Game 3 will be in Los Angeles, which should mean that Kobe and his Lakers close the gap in the series to 2-1 down with 4 games left to play. But what about the betting spread for the game, will they cover that?
The latest NBA betting for Tuesday night's clash shows that the Lakers are very heavy favorites with the spread -9.5 points at the time of writing. The Lakers were +1 point dogs when the lines opened for Game 2, but a flood of money ensured that they were favored by the time of tip-off. The Celtics never played like underdogs, however, leading by more than 20 points late in the game. L.A. staged a late rally that ultimately fell well short, ensuring more misery for punters who went with the public tide.
Once again we have a golden free NBA Finals pick courtesy of the sports handicapping service, Mycapper.com. We featured a free pick for Game 1 from the same handicapper (MasterBets), and it won. So here's the latest complimentary betting analysis for Game 3:
MASTERBETS NBA GAME 3 TOP TOTAL - FREE
Bet on the UNDER for total points
"The Celtics defense will get a strenuous test in Game 3 at the Lakers and a more expansive game is expected. Our proprietary database revealed some interesting stats when we crunched the numbers for this clash. The total points number should be 200 points and not the current 195 combined points. That 5 point differential spells significant value for those playing the OVER tonight.
Our database has also yielded the correct ATS number for this game, but that's precious information available only to premium Mycapper subscribers who buy the NBA FINALS 200% CREDIT REFUND pick. It is out now and must win or there is a double credit refund (worth $60) - that's how confident we are in this spot."
The total points number has since climbed to 195.5 combined points. A bet on the Over is still recommended according to a recent interview we held with MasterBets. The third game of the 2008 NBA Finals starts at 9:05 PM EST or 6:05 local time on the West Coast.
