One Bettor Cashed in Huge When Orlando Magic Took Paolo Banchero First Overall

ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski conceded defeat about his picks.

The tweet: “As the Orlando Magic move closer to getting on the clock, Duke’s Paolo Banchero is now looming as a frontrunner to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, sources tell ESPN.”

Despite apparent crazy action moving Banchero’s odds to be drafted No. 1 from a very distant third-shortest late last week to favorite by the morning of the draft, Wojnarowski reported Auburn’s Jabari Smith as the “increasingly firm” top choice.

Some bettors cashed in big on Banchero’s rise to being  selected #1 overall. One bettor won a cool  50 grand for picking Banchero to go #1.

Some believe this bettor, based on his amount wagered, knew something  no  one else did.

Anyone with half a brain knows this bettor has some inside info. Good for them but let’s not act like he was gambling here. https://t.co/T7rjv4YQzL

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Sportsbooks remove these kinds of bets, especially considering all the insiders are trying to break information that can affect the bets.

Hard to keep everything hush hush when you have so many people trying to break news.
