The world of betting is an interesting place.

One must have a great idea of what they’re betting on to maximize their returns and not have their bet backfire.

And a lot of courage.

A bettor took the risk and placed his money on a three-game parlay regarding the odds of who would score the basket in Cavs vs. Wizards, Blazers vs. Nuggets, and Jazz vs. Thunder.

He chose correctly on a $500 wager and ended up making nearly $157K, courtesy of Alen Len, Nikola Jokic, and Joe Ingles.

That’s what you call a good return on your investment!

Will they double down on Jokic in the Nuggets' upcoming series vs. the Blazers?

Here are the odds for the Blazers-Nuggets series, provided by our partner, PointsBet:

Moneyline: Denver (-120), Portland (+100)

Additionally, the Blazers are listed as +5000 to win the NBA Championship while the Nuggets are at +3600. 

There aren't odds on the first scorer for Game 1 yet, but we'll keep you posted!
