    bet $10 on all bottom four in odds for the NBA lottery..
    Houston +15100
    Phoenix +12500
    Milwaukee +10600
    Portland +8925


    Why wouldnt everyone risk $40 to win at least $800 if one of the bottom teams win? To me, its well worth the risk. I think there is a pretty good chance it happens this year.

          The odds are what they are. You might as well play the real lottery instead of the NBA one. All you are doing here is paying rake, sure you could get lucky but you could with any other bet also.

                  Was this a square play?

                    extremely...imagine if you knew the exact probability of something happening
                    then offering odds for that probability, but with a built in house edge

                    like betting -110 on a coinflip when the real probability would be +100
