Victor Wembanyama is a shoo-in for the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s 2023 NBA Draft, according to oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook. His odds are set at -20,000, which is virtually unheard of in the world of sports betting. In fact, one bettor is so convinced that Wembanyama will be chosen first overall that they placed a $60,000 bet to win a measly $300. That’s how confident they are that this French athlete is the best prospect since LeBron James in 2003, and potentially one of the greatest in NBA history. While smaller bets aren’t worth the risk, for those with deep pockets and an appetite for high-stakes betting, this could be the surest bet you’ll ever make.
