Bucks fans put wagers on win

Bucks fans friendly wagers

With the NBA Finals arriving, Bucks fans are feeling confident -- some making friendly bets on the team to win.

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Bucks fans were feeling confident ahead of the start of the NBA Finals Tuesday, July 6, many putting friendly wagers on a win.

As things heat up between the Bucks and the Phoenix Suns, there has been some friendly wagering between local leaders.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett received a call from the Phoenix mayor Tuesday morning.

"We had an issue when we did this with Toronto where we couldn’t get the beer into Canada – exporting beer over the border," said Barrett. "I never knew what an issue it was, so I want to be true that we’re planning on winning, but I want to make sure it’s something we can ship to Arizona."

Governor Tony Evers also planned on some fun competition with the Arizona governor.

"I feel confident about Bucks winning," said Evers. "Therefore, it’s an easy bet for me."

Fans had some ideas of their own.

"Definitely some sort of beer or drink or something," said a fan.

"Cheese, cheese, cheese and beer, maybe. I don’t know," said a fan.
