2025 NBA Finals odds: Jay-Z loses $1 million wager on Oklahoma City Thunder
Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers blocks the shot attempt by Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder late in the fourth quarter in Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on June 11, 2025, in Indianapolis. (Photo by) The Oklahoma City Thunder were massive favorites to win the 2025 NBA Finals before Game 1 (-700 at BetMGM), and one seven-figure wager was reported on the series: A bettor in Las Vegas at MGM wagered $1.05 million on the Thunder to win the series at those -700 odds. There was another seven-figure wager made from a bettor with a little bigger public profile, as legendary rapper Jay-Z bet $1 million at Fanatics Sportsbook on the Thunder to win in exactly five games at +230 odds. His bet would have cashed for $3.3 million. Advertisement Unfortunately, the Pacers stole Game 1 in Oklahoma City, winning 111-110 on Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot with 0.3 seconds left, which meant the Thunder needed to win the next four games in a row to cash the ticket. Oklahoma City rebounded with a 123-107 win in Game 2 before losing Game 3 on Wednesday night 116-107 in Indianapolis. Game 4 is on Friday night, with the Thunder favored by 5.5 points with a game total of 225.5 at BetMGM. The Thunder are still -235 favorites to win the finals at BetMGM, despite being down 2-1 in the series.
