Australian punter loses six-figure bet in biggest NBA comeback of decade
Odds are you had a more enjoyable Sunday than one unfortunate punter in Australia.
Australian sportsbook TAB reported taking a $139,500 money-line bet on the Mav to beat the Raptors on Sunday. It was the largest NBA bet TAB had taken this season -- and it turned out to be on a game featuring the biggest comeback of the decade.
The Mavericks led 83-53 with 2 minutes, 55 seconds left the third quarter and took a 23-point lead into the fourth quarter. Things had gotten so far enough out of hand that sportsbook PointsBet halted live betting on the game. Toronto wasn't done, though.
