After placing a $300,000 bet on Denver to beat Utah in Game 6 and earning a $390,000 profit, the bettor returned to William Hill and bet $550,000 on Denver to win Game 7. When the Nuggets escaped at the buzzer, he pocketed another $500,000.

I’ve been doing this for a long, long time. Big bets are just hit or miss. Sometimes, they come in flurries. Sometimes, they won’t come in seven months,” said Nick Bogdanovich, the director of trading at William Hill, to Casino.org.

“He is a regular player for us and he bets high, though he usually doesn’t bet that high,” Bogdanovich continued. “He obviously had a good feeling on the Nuggets getting the job done. That went right down to the wire, so that was an incredible finish.”

Bucks on the Ropes
The second round of the playoffs is underway and a big upset is brewing.

For most of the season, the NBA has been seen as a three-team race between the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Milwaukee Bucks.

However, the Bucks — who finished with the league’s best regular-season record — are staring at a 2-0 deficit in their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Miami Heat.

“The Heat, for whatever reason, have their number,” Bogdanovich said. “Obviously, tonight’s a must-win. If they can flip it, they can get back in it and get rolling. I’ll tell you one thing: It’s all on the line tonight, that’s for sure.”슬롯사이트

The Bucks are a 5.5-point favorite in Game 3. But Miami is the new series favorite at -160.

NBA Dominating at Sportsbooks
While the politicization of the NBA has ruffled some feathers, the action has been running hot at sportsbooks.

“The NBA is the star of the show,” Bogdanovich told Casino.org. “Every league’s being bet well, but the handle on the NBA games is just through the roof. They’re really incredible. Hockey’s been good. But the Las Vegas Golden Knights being in it draws a lot of people to the hockey, and baseball’s rock solid. But the NBA’s been the leader of the handle. It’s been crazy.”
