Reddit Laker Fan makes bet that the Lakers will beat the Blazers tonight

[chris_in_pdx]

He/she is GUARANTEEING that the Lakers will beat the Blazers tonight, and will pay $1 to everyone that responds to his post should the Lakers lose.



There's over 6300 comments on his thread.

The chances this guy/girl pays out in the event of a Laker loss is zero, however.

See edit4

EDIT4: Fuck Edit1 -- there is no cap. I will give a dollar to every single person that comments on this before the tip off a dollar if the Lakers lose.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have told Mags about Reddit.

It is sad to see him finally turn to the dark side but he'll pay the bet.

Blazers are favored by 5. Lakers are exhausted. Young guns vs old dudes. Can't wait for this game. I flew into Oregon just now.

With the way we've been playing, that's probably a good bet. Although, Dame is due for a breakout game and Steve Nash is hooooooorrible on defense.

Nash isn't playing tonight.

Nash isn't playing tonight.

Blake isn't really an improvement on defense either

Fuck that! I will never be pro laker! Ever!!!!

truth be told, not having Wesley and Batum, and the Lakers in a playoff hunt, I don't think it bodes well for Portland.

...uhhh, at which sportsbook are you getting your intel?! You're only ELEVEN points off in the wrong direction. The Lakers opened as a 6 point favorite and the spread is currently 6.5, still in the Lakers favor FWIW.
