Enormous Payout for Bettor Who Placed Wager on the Pistons to Win the 2023 NBA Championship

Someone is pretty high on the Detroit Pistons following NBA Draft Night.

The Pistons picked Purdue guard Jaden Ivey at No. 5 overall and then traded for Memphis center Jalen Duren, who was picked 13th overall. In Round 2, the Pistons picked Italian wing Gabriele Procida at 36 overall.

Apparently that was enough to take the Pistons to the next level. A bettor wagered $250 on the Pistons to win the NBA Championsip next season, and the return on investment would be absolutely enormous. If the Pistons can win it all, the bettor would win $187,000 dollars.

Odds as of June 23 at Caesars Sportsbook.

There’s a good reason the Pistons are sitting at +75000.

Long shots are always fun, but this one is a little bit too much of a long shot.
