He might have but Cavs were still a possibility to spoil it at that point

Cash out.

Keyboard warriors can say I'm a beta cuck, but I'll be a beta cuck with $300,000 after taxes.

Negative, depending your net worth. If I'm poor, sure.

Someone betting 2500 on such a ridiculous parlay isn't going to cash out.

Based on your logic and reading comprehension in this thread, I can't imagine you're rich.

Laying down $2,500 on that parlay is a bold move.


Might mean he has enough in the bank to risk it on this game

That's beating he odds. No idea if they will win/lose but MY BET is he will be on the edge of his chair if he goes all in.

Could this be fake and just for promoting?

That's a bizarre combination of picks for 2.5K. Someone betting that has 1mil+ liquid cash.

Would have faced the situation of Spurs winning and Knicks losing and being down bad

He’d need at least a half million dollars cash for a worthwhile hedge. Okc being the favorite works against him.

It depends where you are in life, as well as your debts.

The ability to pay off your house, plus a vehicle or two would be life change for most.

Yeah if 600,000 doesn’t change your life you must have an insane spending and stuff problem
