Placing two significant bets is an uncommon practice for NBA investors from Colorado.
Every day, an astonishing amount of money is wagered on sporting events, which may appear irrational to some. Although it may not always be the wisest financial decision, it ultimately remains the prerogative of those individuals to determine how they use their own funds.
However, it’s bizarre when the NBA bettor from Colorado decides to place two significant bets on the Atlanta Hawks. It’s truly peculiar. And to top it off, they go ahead and place two more bets, doubling down on their previous wagers. This only amplifies the oddness factor.
When thinking about the teams they support, Atlanta is not typically one of the first cities that comes to mind. So, finding a passionate supporter of the Hawks here, especially someone who has wagered significant amounts on them, feels as rare as witnessing Bigfoot riding a dragon.
Just a quick reminder, the bettor made two significant bets at DraftKings sportsbook in Colorado back in early May. Let’s take a look at what those wagers were:
- The Hawks are betting$ 20, 000 to win the Eastern Conference at + 4, 000. The bet did bring in$ 820, 000 for the better.
- By placing an additional $20,000 bet, the Hawks have the potential to win the NBA Championship at odds of +10,000. This bet could result in a substantial $2 million payout for the bettor.
Hawks better doubles down on significant bets
On June 10, the sportsbook affirms that the same investor ultimately opted to double their bets.
- An additional$ 10,000 bet on the Hawks to win the East by a factor of+ 2,500.
- An additional wager of $10,000 was placed on the Hawks to emerge as the NBA Champions, with a total payout of $6,000.
Taking everything into account, the wagers would accumulate more than $3 million.
Don and [name], please take a moment to review the current situation. Although the bets have not yet been settled, there is still hope for a positive outcome.
The heavily favored Philadelphia 76ers were knocked out by the Hawks after a grueling seven-game series. Today, Atlanta will face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals. Just like the Hawks, the Bucks triumphed over the beloved Brooklyn Nets on away territory in Game 7.
At DraftKings, the series opener in Milwaukee on Wednesday sees Atlanta starting as a considerable underdog with odds of +350. Additionally, their chances of winning Game 1 are further diminished, with odds of +7.5.
Atlanta maintains optimism for large bet.
The fact that the Hawks are in this situation is truly an incredible achievement.
The Hawks’ need for immense courage and confidence, as shown by their victory in Game 7 on Philadelphia’s turf, will be crucial if they aim to conquer the Bucks. Whether they require shovels or gems of these qualities, the message remains clear. Unfortunately, things are not becoming any easier for the Hawks.
With their exceptional performance and diverse scoring abilities, they possess a remarkable opportunity to cause another major upset. This is evident through Trae Young, who currently holds the position of the game’s leading scorer.
Danilo Gallinari, an old friend of the Denver Nuggets, is making a notable impact on Colorado sports betting. In Game 7, he came off the bench and scored 17 points in 30 minutes of play.
For a multitude of reasons, we are in for a captivating and pleasurable series, at the very least.
You have at least $3 million at stake, Don.
