Punter wins big money after wild $3.5million bet on latest NBA Finals game
The NBA Finals have ignited a whirlwind of betting activity. In a genuinely audacious and bold move, a Nevada sports bettor placed all their faith in the Denver Nuggets to win Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat.
The eye-popping wagers, valued at $3.5 million, paid off after the Nuggets emerged triumphant. As a result, the lucky gambler walked away with $3,181,818 in profit (around £2.5m).
The Heat dealt a devastating blow to the Nuggets' clean sweep aspirations by condemning the favourites to their first home-court loss of the playoffs in Game 2. Despite the Heat's surge of momentum, the mysterious bettor clung to their belief in Denver entering Game 3 in Miami.
To prove their faith in the Mile High franchise, the mystery bettor placed multiple wagers on the team valued at $3.5 million. Caesars Sportsbook revealed the wagerer's bets on the Jokic-led Western Conference champions, including a $750,000 Nuggets' first-half spread at (-1) and an additional $2.75 million for the team to beat a -2.5 spread.
Denver's line for Game 3 opened initially with the squad being a 1.5-point betting favourite over the Spoelstra-led Heat. While most major American sportsbooks had a final opening line of -2.5, various sportsbooks moved the line to -3 before opening tip-off.
