Tyrese Haliburton watched his $1 million shaky Terrese Haliburton lined up a 21-foot jumper on Game 1 of the NBA Finals Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night (June 5) and watched his $1 million bet on Teeter on Thursday night (June 5).
Hip-hop idols and business tycoons put seven-digit bets on the Thunder to win the platform he co-founded with Michael Rubin in five games through Fanatics Sportsbook.
With an odds of +230, one in five thunder will earn him $3.3 million in payday.
But Haliburton’s clutch shot didn’t just steal the first game, which put Jay-Z’s high-risk gambling on thin ice.
Oklahoma City led by up to 15 points in the fourth quarter, leading 94-79 in less than 10 minutes of the game.
Indiana then rushed down and ended the game 12-2 in the finals 2:38. Haliburton’s dagger gave the Pacers the first and only night lead, as well as victory.
According to CBS News, the Pacers’ comeback marks their fifth win of the season after a game of 15 or older, setting an NBA playoff record for most such wins in a single playoff.
Jay -Z’s bet is consistent with public sentiment as the Thunder entered the final with a -700 favorite to win the series and scored 10 points in Game 1.
The bets that the fanatic sports betting publicly confirmed were placed before the tip in Oklahoma City Thursday (June 4).
The Brooklyn-born entrepreneur’s investment in fanatic sports betting is part of a wider expansion of sports betting, fashion, spirit and technology.
