Anthony Davis trade: Las Vegas sportsbook took $10,000 Lakers bet three hours before the news broke – SBNation.com

The Los Angeles Lakers turned the NBA on its head Saturday evening when they acquired Anthony Davis in a blockbuster trade with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Lakers dealt away Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks to pair the celebrity forward with LeBron James.
The transaction sent shockwaves throughout the NBA and reinforced a new possible power structure from the league. Prior to the trade, the Westgate SuperBook installed the Lakers at 5-1 to acquire the 2019-2020 NBA title. They were the favorites, ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers (equally 6-1), chiefly due to the potential for some sort of big name addition this offseason.
They made that movement on Saturday, but before the trade happened, a sports bettor showed some clairvoyance. Approximately 3 hours before the transaction occurred, someone put a $10,000 bet on the Lakers to win the title.
That bet improved the Lakers to 9-2, along with the Davis trade improved them farther to 3-1 — in which they now stand. They’re followed by the Bucks at 6-1 and the Clippers at 7-1.
Did the bettor understand something about the trade beforehand? We might never know, but if he did or not, many casinos restrict the activity on futures bets because of this kind of thing. There are generally fewer limits on stage spread and moneyline sport stakes, but name futures feature lower limits. The Westgate sets their win total limitations at $50,000. Westgate executive Jeff Sherman told The Action Network,”I’m sure it was with knowledge, but that’s why we have accountability limits set up.”
Sports bettors are constantly on the hunt for inside details. It’s possible to come across some edges on the injury report also with innovative analytics for any given match, however with futures bets, a single trade nobody sees coming could swing odds considerably.
