NBA gamblers confident in the Bulls but do not want to risk taking the points in a game with two powerhouses could benefit from the three-way moneyline.
3-Way Moneyline – Regulation Time Odds
- Brooklyn Nets – REG +105
- Tie – REG +900
- Chicago Bulls – REG -106
This line is only feasible if you are taking the Bulls to win. For bettors looking to lean on the Nets, the two-way moneyline is more profitable with less risky.
The Bulls winning in regulation pays out at a -106 rate which is more profitable than the -135 on the moneyline and the -110 for them to cover.
The caveat for this betting line is that the game cannot go into overtime for this to be a winning wager. The Bulls have not gone into overtime at all this season.
