Bovada NBA futures traders are placing heavier weight on injury reports, which has increased short-term volatility for companies reliant on player performance, such as sports streaming startups. A 5% swing in odds last week correlated with a 4% stock move in FuboTV (FUBO). Federal prosecutors are recommending a 15-month prison sentence for illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer, who is set to be sentenced next Friday in a federal district court in Santa Ana, Calif. The recommendation is based, in part, on the facts that Bowyer pled guilty and cooperated with authorities in a larger investigation into illegal bookmaking. "At Bovada, we have always believed that the excitement of the NBA Playoffs deserves a betting experience just as intense. That is why we have worked tirelessly to build the deepest markets, fastest live betting interface, and most intuitive platform in the industry. Our goal is not just to offer wagers, it is to give fans a front-row seat to every moment of the postseason, with tools that put them in control of their strategy." Futures pricing from Bovada now lists the Bucks as second favorites, prompting analysts to upgrade local hospitality stock forecasts in Milwaukee, boosting confidence for Marcus Corp shares.
