We continue our NBA future odds preview with the betting odds on the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference Championship winner. Unlike the Eastern, the number of possible teams to win the Western Conference Championship has significantly shrank in the past few weeks, leaving bettors with much smaller pool to choose from. But good payouts are still easy to come by. Again, we will look at the odds to win 2009 NBA Western Conference Championship published by two good online sportsbooks and will begin with the betting numbers posted by the sports betting website BodogSports.
