A fan turned a $10 bet on a Lakers-Nuggets pristine offensive shootout into a $7K payout

In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals Tuesday night, the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers put on an offensive masterclass.

Both squads shot at least 54 percent, made at least 11 three-pointers, and had at least 29 assists en route to a stupendous display of overall shotmaking and playmaking. This was music to the ears of one bettor who certainly hoped the stars would come out in Denver on an initially meager $10 bet.

At the very least, they wanted a classy Jamal Murray (along with the battling Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis) to put on an all-around show. With Denver eventually prevailing 132-126, they got their wish … and a lucrative $7,000 payout.

$10 → $7K

There wasn’t much defense to be seen between the two best teams in the West. I mean, even Austin Reaves recorded eight assists!

In this specific instance, it paid off quite well for a bettor who hoped little defense would be played.
