Huge bet on Atlanta Hawks to win the NBA Championship would pay out $1.5M

See how much one BetMGM bettor wagered on the Hawks for the big potential pay out

Who wants to be a millionaire? One bettor at BetMGM certainly does. Big NBA bets are coming in hot and one of them could end up being a jaw-dropping pay day. This particular bettor has a lot of faith in the Atlanta Hawks to win the NBA Championship and wisely (hopefully) took advantage of their long betting odds.

The Hawks have +1800 odds to win the NBA Championship, but when their odds were +15000, one bettor put down $10,000 on them. Which means an Atlanta Finals win would be a $1.5 million pay out.

Another bettor didn’t snatch up the Hawks at such long odds, but still put down a good amount for a decent potential pay out. Someone put $10,000 on the Hawks to take the Eastern Conference at +5000 to win $500,000. The Hawks odds to win the Eastern Conference are now +800.

Atlanta leads their playoffs series against the Philadelphia 76ers 3-2 going into Game 6 on Friday night.
