If Floyd Mayweather is betting six million bucks on a basketball game, you can bet cash that he will eventually declare bankruptcy.
If he puts a milski down on a random Oregon/ASU football game in October, this doesn't seem that far fetched.
He doesn't it's all bull . To legally get down 6 million on an NBA playoff game you'd need relationships with at least 25 books taking a max bet.
So you're saying the betting slips that get posted online are photoshopped? Seems like an awful lot of effort.
Indiana has the second worst backcourt in the NBA after the Pistons and they have no bench at all, I'm still trying to figure out how Miami has struggled so mightily this series against a 3 man Pacers squad.

I'm not going through every roster to see where the Pacers backcourt ranks exactly but I feel comfortable saying it's one of the worst. Hill and Stephenson are pretty good defensively but I think it's more of the system. Offensively they stink, Hill simply is not a point guard and Stephenson has talent but is incredibly erratic and doesn't take care of the ball at all. Every time they bring the ball up I get nervous they will turn it over, often they turn it over without any pressure and struggle to feed the post. I knew Miami would win the game in the first quarter when they were quickly doubling the post every time Hibbert and West got the ball, it shows Spoelstra's ineptitude that it took him until game 7 to employ double teams in the post as a consistent strategy. This is the generation of point guards in the NBA and the Pacers had a backup shooting guard running point in the Eastern Conference finals with Lance friggin Stephenson as his sidekick and DJ Augustine as his backup. If Spoelstra knew how to coach and Miami was fully engaged they wouldn't have had much trouble with this Pacers team.
Without LeBron, Miami loses in 5.
If you think Hill and Stephenson are more than qualified to be the starting backcourt for a championship caliber team, I don't know what to tell you other then I completely disagree. They were horrible last night, game 5 they basically went scoreless the entire game until a couple of meaningless points by Stephenson in garbage time. Again I stand by what I said, they are one of the weakest backcourts in the league.I don't get the Hill hate. Is he an elite PG? No, but he's more than serviceable and was far from the Pacers biggest problem in that series. If you don't think he's good, just look at how Indiana self-combusted when he was out of the game with foul trouble and DJ Augustine was pressed into service. Hill posted a +6 in this series, Stephenson a +12. For comparison sake, Paul George was a -2, David West a -14. Obviously these numbers can be deceiving, but it illustrates the fact that George Hill and Lance Stephenson were more than qualified to be the fourth and fifth players on a championship-caliber team. It was the sixth, seventh, and eigth guys that killed Indiana.
There is a reason San Antonio, arguably the smartest organization in sports from a player development standpoint, struggled to part ways with him. He's not a good defender because of the system, he's a good defender because he has freakish length, adequate foot speed, and a good basketball IQ. You don't become the best defense in the NBA by having a guy at the PG position who is not a good defender. Basketball is played at both ends of the floor, and Indiana's backcourt, granted limited offensively, is well above average defensively. Indiana's problem in this series was their bench - I'm fairly certain their starters posted a positive point differential in the series, but when you bring in guys like Sam Young, Tyler Hansbrough, and D.J. Augustine to hold down the fort against LeBron and Co. you are asking for trouble.
