It is tough to accurately predict a team in any sport to win their respective championship. However, one bettor could be in for a big payday if the Denver Nuggets win the NBA Finals.
B/R Betting on Twitter posted a picture of a $100 bet that could potentially balloon into an $82,719.00 win. The bettor successfully predicted that Argentina would win the 2022 World Cup and that the Kansas City Chiefs would win the 2023 Super Bowl.
The final piece of the three-leg parlay? That the Nuggets will win the 2023 Finals.
CASH OUT OR LET IT RIDE?! 🤯
This might be the one… Nuggets are now -210 to win the NBA Finals and this bettor could win $82K

The Nuggets lead the Los Angeles Lakers 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals and have the chance to end the series in Monday’s Game 4.
The bettor also can “cash out” their bet, which would result in a $35,938.85 win regardless of the outcome for the Nuggets in this series and potentially the NBA Finals.
Many around the NBA world took to social media to offer their opinion of what the bettor should do.
let it ride. Jokic is unstoppable https://t.co/GU80adNK4y

-210 is a 67.7% implied probability, meaning this bettor's equity in the current wager is about $56k.
At +220 on the Heat (assuming they're confident in a DEN/MIA Final) the bettor could hedge around $27k and get a better result than the cashout. pic.twitter.com/YAoEAOly1L

If the Nuggets do indeed take care of the Lakers, they will likely face off against the Miami Heat. Miami also leads their series 3-0 against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Denver will likely be favored in a potential matchup against Miami. However, the Heat have consistently beaten the odds to get to this point as the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
