McBean Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Good luck Shady! David Payne Purdum @DavidPurdum · 24m LeSean McCoy bet $200,000 on Warriors to win Finals. It's largest bet Planet Hollywood took on Finals. Would pay $62,500. h/t @RomanEdmond1 Embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) IMO, the cavs only chance is to play the Warriors defensively like they did last year and pray that Klay Thompson turns into Harrison Barnes. Leave him open and hope his confidence gets crushed if he keeps missing. He's been doing a pretty good impression so far in these playoffs.

YoloinOhio Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I want the Cavs to win (not a real Cavs fan but rooting for them in finals) but I don't think they will. Warriors too good. Cavs have no one to guard KD. Good bet by Shady. Edited June 4, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavs have no one to guard KD. Good bet by Shady. They actually have one of the best KD defenders in the league, but they won't use him against KD. I guess they feel like it'll use up too much of Lebrons energy chasing KD around all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I love Shady as a ball player, but question his judgment, sometimes. In what way can publicly posting this be a good thing? I know it used to be against NFL rules to engage in team sports betting. I'm not sure if that is still true. But even if it isn't strictly against the rules, you know the NFL and the Bills can't be happy with one of their employees publicizing such a big bet. I also think it's stupid in several other ways, but don't feel the need to enumerate them here. Edited June 4, 2017 by The Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavs have no one to guard KD. Good bet by Shady. All you need to know with that series is they let Durant have a wide open walk down the lane for an easy basket to guard an open Stephen Curry because they'd rather give up an easy two than let Curry shoot a wide open three...they have zero chance.

But he has yet to deny it is his, or explain why this went public. Perhaps he sent it to someone who is indiscreet and/or untrustworthy. Maybe he will say it was all a joke, or was shared without his permission or knowledge. But honestly, I really have no clue why people think sharing their questionable public doings, is a prudent thing to do. Certainly the NFL and the Bills can't be happy about one of their star players flaunting something like this. Obviously he won't be cut, or probably even disciplined. But IMO, for a veteran leader to call negative attention to themselves (again) for their non-football related activities, is something I just shake my head at.

I can start to buy it being less than great for him to be putting it out everywhere on his own... maybe... but unless you have a serious issue with the bet there's no reason to be upset it's not top secret classified information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this Dean because when you play an important position on an NFL football team and expose a gambling habit, problem however you want to describe betting that kind of money you open yourself up to attention where you or your team doesn't need it in my humble opinion. I also don't think it sets a good example for younger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IMO, for a veteran leader to call negative attention to themselves (again) for their non-football related activities, is something I just shake my head at. I can't help but shake my head at how stupid this post is. 1) Shady did not send this tweet. He was not publicizing it. He was certainly not "flaunting" it as you accuse him of doing. 2) Sports betting in Las Vegas is not illegal. You seem to think that it is illegal, or that it is somehow morally wrong for an individual to take a risk with their own hard-earned money. 3) You accuse him of calling negative attention to himself for making a perfectly legal, and very likely an extremely wise investment. Sports betting is not against the law, not against NFL rules, and at best, it is vaguely "wrong" in the minds of a small group of the population that opposes it. I would love for you to explain why you think McCoy's act of placing a bet, and then not tweeting about it will negatively affect the team. 4) You said, "Obviously he won't be cut, or probably even disciplined." I can only hope you do not think our team's best player should be cut for his 100% legal, and likely smart decision. If you actually do, please find another team to follow.
