The NBA’s regular season also came to an end, with the play-in tournament beginning Tuesday, followed by the playoffs next weekend.
Here’s a look at how things played out over the weekend at the BetMGM online sportsbook:
McIlroy went into the Masters at +1100 to win, which was tied for the second-best odds with Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm. In pre-tournament outright winner bets, he took in 3.6% of the bets and 3% of the money. Scheffler entered with the best odds at +550, and took in 9.4% of the bets and 14.3% of the money.
McIlroy went into the final round at +160 to win, followed by Cameron Young at +240. The two were tied at 11-under.
The Thunder (-5.5 vs. Suns) and Magic (-12.5 vs. Celtics) were the two most-bet teams in the NBA. Both teams failed to cover, as the Suns upset the Thunder 135-103 and the Celtics beat the Magic 113-108.
The Yankees lost to the Rays 5-4 on Sunday to fall to 8-7 on the year. New York (-150) was the most-bet MLB team in terms of number of bets and money on Sunday.
Toronto (-120) was the second-most bet MLB team in terms of number of bets and money on Sunday, and they lost to the Twins 8-2.
The Thunder have the best odds to win the NBA Finals at +135, followed by the Spurs at +450 and the Celtics at +550.
Next in line are the Nuggets at +1000, the Cavaliers at +1400, and the Pistons and Knicks at +1800.
