Pacers vs. Thunder ODDS: OKC wins the NBA finals; I bet it bets $ 1 million on the thunder ticket

The Oklahoma City Thunder are champions of the NBA for the first time after defeating the Indian Pacers in seven games on Sunday evening, and a bettor is six richer figures for this.

A better at the Las Vegas MGM has bet $ 1.05 million on the Thunder to win the finals at -700 contrast on June 4 before the start of the series -a bet that collected $ 150,000.

Announcement

It was the largest reported bet in the series of legal sports books in the United States. Rapper Jay-Z also bet seven digits on The Thunder ($ 1 million at the Fanatics Sportsbook), but his bet was that Oklahoma City won the series exactly in five games.

Oklahoma City entered the series as a overwhelming favorite and was linked as the seventh favorite of the largest of the finals since 1969, according to the history of sports probability. Even down 2-1 in the series, the Thunder remained -250 favorite to win everything.

The Oddsmaker were generally cheering for the thunder of the series, since the great price was prohibitive for too much responsibility to accumulate on Oklahoma City – and the teams that represented the worst results for sports books (the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, etc.) had already been eliminated.

Announcement

In addition, as an Oddsmaker observed, thunder plays in a state in which sports bets are not legal and do not have a large base of fans outside their local market, leading to a fewer future betting despite the Oklahoma City is the favorite throughout the season.

The Thunder opened as the favorite favorite of Sportsbooks to be repeated in 2025-26 with +220 probability.
