Would you make this bet?

Wembanyama is currently -20000 to be the first overall pick. The maximum amount you can bet on FanDuel is $140,000 so you would net $700.

It's literally free money. There is no universe he is not the #1 overall pick so if you have that much money I just made you $700

no, 700 is not worth tying up 140k for the next few weeks, I'd rather drop the 140k on a memecoin

That's fair. It's still a guaranteed $700 though. So you can make the bet just prior to the draft and not have it tied up

pretty sure those odds keep getting worse the closer you get to the draft so if you want to lock in the 700 you'd have to do it now

I can make roughly this amount with $140K in a savings account right now.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Return to NBA Draft
