How much money you would make if you bet on Pistons to beat Celtics tonight
The Pistons are looking to avoid their 28th straight loss tonight, but they’ll have to find a way to beat the No. 1 team in the East -- the Boston Celtics.
It’s not likely. In fact, it’s probably impossible. But if you’re brave enough, betting on the Pistons to win is probably the low risk, high reward play you’re looking for on a dreary Thursday night in December.
As of this writing, the Pistons are 17-point underdogs vs the Celtics, who enter the game with six losses on the year. Boston is a chainsaw of scoring and defense, and if Detroit can somehow find a way to stay in the game -- maybe they can cover. But we’re not talking about covering here, we’re talking about winning, baby!
The Pistons moneyline bet to win the game is +830, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. That would be a $10 bet is going to net you $83. That’s a pretty good return!
It’s also $10 you’re probably never getting back. So that’s your choice.
If you’re feeling like a high roller, a $100 bet on the Pistons to win nets you a whopping $830. Whew. But again, probably better to just flush that money down the toilet, because that’s essentially what you’d be doing.
One thing you can definitely bet on with high confidence -- Pistons GM Troy Weaver won’t be speaking to the media today. Lock it in.
