    Should I cash my Clippers future bet now?

    I bet $200 on them at 13-1 to win it all at Fan Duel 2 weeks ago.

    They'll let me cash out now at $670

    Cash it..
    Why tie up the cash and possibly lose...no sure things in sports wagering.
    You can compound the $670 with straight wagers on the Clips if need be.

    Absolutely take it. The NBA is wide open. Clippers still aren’t a super team. They have Kawhi, and George surrounded by a bunch of role players. I really like their role guys, especially Trez, but you still have to contend with a loaded West. Then if you make it out, you meet the Freak, or Embiid in the Finals. I mean it’s still the Clippers is all that matters, so I’m taking it.

    Not sure I know what you mean. They'll let me cash it out now.



    (And they dropped the cash out option to 635.)

    I think he’s asking if Fan Duel is offering you the early payout. I would have already taken it, and put it towards the baseball roll.

    Gotcha Blueman.
    Thought that Duel may increase the offer as Clips did well.

    Yes, agree with everyone take the money now. Way too long to wait 1 year for this to payout. The clippers are not a super team not even close to what the warriors were.

    Can you imagine a finals of the Clips and a healthy Brooklyn team with KD, Jordan, Kylie and that deep bench.
    If so I bet you 1/4 of the Lakers and Knicks fan base would bludgeon their temples in with spade shovels.

    Hell no you shouldn't cash it today. Wait and then start hedging in the playoffs. If they turn into an invincible team near the playoffs, you'll get nice series numbers hedging the opposing team. The Clippers look like an easy path to the West conference championship. Who else is going to challenge them? A depleted Warriors team without Klay and Durant? The Lakers that just took a huge hit?

    No way in hell do I take $600 today when I should be able to at least hedge for $1,000+. Yes, injuries are part of the game but any team could have injuries. Including the opposing teams. Plus you have a Doc Rivers that brings an attitude to his teams, where they play hard as shit, no matter who's on the roster. They gave a healthy GS a run for their money and that was with Gildrous and Galinari. I'm rolling the dice here. You went from middle of the pack to the damn favorite team to win it all.

    My mom used to say that "anything the books are giving you can't be good." If they are willing to pay you now, they already no something.

    They do screw you a little on this. When they put the new future odds up after the deal, I was first offered $670 when they had the Clippers at 3-1 to win it all. They lowered the odds on Clippers to win it all to $290 on a $100 and for some reason my cash out odds went lower. It should have gone up instead of down.
