Beware of the NBA Lottery Bets..Choose WISELY!!!

[MyKickerHurts]

Below is the list of teams trying to win the Lottery and gain the first pick in the up coming draft. The odds on favorite to get the pick are the Miami Heat. Although its stated that every one has a chance and they do, they just have a lower chance of gaining the top pick. Think of it this way: You got 1000 balls in a gum-ball machine, now 250 of those balls belong to the Heat, and so on and son on. Now the tricky thing about this is that the Ping-Pong Ball picking is not shown just a card in a envelope to show the winner, but anyway the odds reflect these odds below your choice if not one of the top 4 is basically a crap shoot, and lets say for example if you chose the NJ nets you could win big but the odds are small. My self I strictly bet on this as a value bet SO I'm taking for Value the Mill. Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, and the NY Knicks. Value wise as well as odds wise they have the better shot than let's say the blazers etc. Personally I feel the Knicks get it, to squash the Issiah Thomas era, and start the Dantonie one. Good Luck in who ever you Choose!!!

As an added note, usually the team with the most Ping-Pong Balls wins. But Not Always!

What were Boston's chances last year of recieving the 5th pick? Strange things happen every year in the lottery.

They sure do illusion and a good thing I layed money on a few of the undersogs in this prop. I put 100 on 6 of the underdogs and with a little visit from lady luck, the last Team I put the Hundred on to win the NBA Draft lottery hit it for me. I sat and watched the Draft and watched 5 of my dogs get knocked out, Knicks, Bucks, Pacers, Nets, Bobcats, and then there was 3. Heat, Timberwolves, and the 1.7% dog Bulls. My blood was flowing when they announce 3rd pick is Wolves, I fiugured with my nba luck as of late of course the heat are gonna get it. And then the magic words the second pick in the Draft the Miami Heat, Before he got to the Heat and was still on Miami, I was up and screaming everyone in my Complex had to of heard cause I made sure of it. THE BULLS at 40-1 at mysportsbook.com tax free baby 4g's really just 3,400 cause of the 6oo I played but still. Hey y'all beers on me. What a day!!!!!

They had a 1.7% chance to get the #1 pick...yet it paid 40-1

isn't that terrible?

Yes, considering 40-1 implies a 2.5% chance. True payout would have been in the neighborhood of 58-1. Not sure how there's any value at all there, but congrats on the hit.
