On Tuesday afternoon, hours before heavily favored Golden State tipped off with Utah, the Westgate SuperBook had taken just one bet on the Warriors to beat the Jazz in the seven-game series -- a $50,000 bet at -10,000 odds.
If Golden State prevails, the risk-taker will net a profit of $500. To repeat, that's $50,000 to $500.
The Jazz were as much as 20-1 underdogs to eliminate the Warriors, the outright favorites to win NBA championship.
Golden State is a 13-point favorite in Game 1 at Oracle Arena. The Jazz beat the Warriors 105-99 at Oracle on April 10, ending an eight-game losing streak to Golden State. But neither team was at full strength in that late regular-season meeting.
