    Default I have a chance to win $35,000 (UPDATE: live chat with 5dimes staff about my wager)

    I placed a bet, not even a large bet.

    A $50 bet.

    If the NBA Finals matchup ends up being the Hawks v. Rockets I will win $35,000.

    Root for me/

    But I don't want to see that matchup. You'll have to pay me to root for you.

    I don't have to pay for those, I only need to put in a request (which has a 25% success rate)

    RIP to your $50.

    Good luck, though.

    Good luck man.


    Don't let anyone here tell you it's bad. It's 50 that potentially could turn into money that could change your life.


    It's not even that much of a longshot either. It's a real possibility.


    I have a multi going with Bulls/Cavs/Grizz first round winners for a 1000 to win another 1000.

    So far so good...Plus i have championship win bets on bulls and golden state, golden state i got at 23/1 at the start of the year. Bulls odds have gotten worse though LOL

    yeah definitely not a bad bet, chances are okay, but it 95% won't happen imo... very unlikely with the Rockets.

    Agreed. Sounds like a great bet to me.

    If your estimate is that it's 5% likely to happen, then it's the best bet of the century.

    His bet is only 0,14% of his potential winning.

    I agree that it's more likely than 0,14% and that OP made a nice bet, though

    You should know better than to trust the Rockets getting out of the first and second round, dawg.

    I was surprised when I saw how long the odds were for that particular matchup and since I can actually SEE it happening I decided to go for it.

    Next question, will I have to pay taxes on my winnings?
