The bettor was burned by the Lakers' first round flames against the Timberwolves.
Supporters of the Lakers, one of the most popular franchises, took it to another level in the hours and days of the Lukadon Sic deal in early February.
Los Angeles won the 2025 NBA Championship on the BETMGM Sportsbook on 14/1, starting from 40/1 after a blockbuster deal, with the first round being the fourth best odds, 10/1, and the first round ended in mid-April.
The Lakers had the most bets (16.2% of tickets) and the second-highest handle (15.4%), turning their backs on the Celtics (17.1%) at BETMGM.
More than a quarter of the Fanduel Sportsbook money was in the Lakers and won it all, All ESPN.
Against Minnesota, the Lakers opened as a heavy-160 favourite.
Before Game 1, the Lakers had 96% and 65% bets on the handle and won the series at BetMgm.
Now their season is over, and the betting masses' wallets are a little thinner.
