The trend of bettors backing LeBron James to score at least ten points in every one of his NBA games is getting out of hand. With the 40-year-old successfully hitting this target every time since 2006, people are staking huge sums on the market.
bettor put $884,671 on the Los Angeles Lakers star
One bettor put $884,671 on the Los Angeles Lakers star hitting this total during his side’s matchup on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder:
Thankfully for the bettor, LeBron scored 19 points during the game, which meant a profit of just $13,610 from the -6500 odds. Many sportsbooks are no longer offering this market for James to score at least ten points due to the volume of wagers they were taking.
Operators who continue to take action will hope that LeBron picks up an injury early in a game, forcing him to withdraw and ending his impressive streak spanning almost two decades.
