One of the most beautiful aspects of sport is the idea that anything can happen. The sports world is a world where the improbable comes true, where underdog stories are completed, where heroes are made.
One NBA fan is heavily leaning on the idea that anything can happen with this latest bet out of Vegas.
According to Bleacher Report Betting, a fan put down a hefty $10,000 wager. While that may not be anything new, this bet was particularly eye-popping seeing as it would payout $5,000,000 if it hits.
Bold move to bet on the Washington Wizards.
It’s not like they don’t have talent. Bradley Beal has developed into one of those most lethal scorers in the game, and Russell Westbrook – while maybe not what he used to be – can still ball out. It’s just that they’re already in such a deep hole, holding an 8-17 record that’s only ahead of the Detroit Pistons in the East.
That’s a tall hill to climb just to make playoffs, let alone come out on top of the East and defeat whichever super-team comes out of the West. But hey, that’s why it’s such a big payout, right?
Maybe the bettor liked the switch from Alex Len to Mo Wagner?
