While it does looks pretty getting 50:1 on the most probable draft order its in reality a sucker bet. If you look at the odds of those 3 teams getting that exact slot you will find: Milwaukee at 25%, Philly at 18.8% and Orlando at 15.56%. If you punch in the approximate odds of those moneylines into a parlay calculator..MIL +300, Philly +400 and Orlando +500 you would get 119:1..using the exact ml's would net an even higher payout. You would basically be burning 3/5's of your bets money by placing it.

Rarely does favorite actually get the number one pick; I don't think it's happened in a while now. (Bucs favorite)

this is the best bet IMO, -187 for any other team to get the 4th pick. It would mean 3 teams would have to 'win' the lottery and push MIL to the 4 spot. this happens about once every 5 years, these odds are saying it happens once every 3 years.

NBA will probably screw the Bucks, doubt they get the #1 pick.
