Gamblers Are Loading Up on Cleveland Cavaliers Futures to Win the 2015 NBA Title

And what do you have to lose, really? Do you put $100 on the Cavs at 50-1 or do you want to lose $100 on the blackjack table in 10 minutes? Do you want to put $100 on the Cavs 50-1 or spend $100 on a nice deal with your wife/girlfriend with a couple drinks? According to the ESPN story, MGM took a $1,000 bet on the Cavs at 40-1.

If LeBron meets with Pat Riley today and determines he wants to stay in South Beach, well, you’re out $100. The Cavs, at best, are a fringe playoff team without LeBron.

But if he decides he wants to get on a younger, deeper team and return home … well, now you’re a hardcore Cavs fan for the next 12 months.
