    lol, guys, I use that same site to bet MMA. The max limit on those #2 and #3 picks is to only win $100. The liquidity is nothing, so when someone max bets, in this case to win $100. it moves the line dramatically. Other sports, NBA and MMA etc, the max limit is way way higher. It would take someone to max bet thousands and thousand of dollars to just move a line slightly, if at all.

    This is nothing to talk about.

    On some people. I put a few bucks on Miller when he was +150 so looks like I can lockin some profit by betting Scoot now.

    Although I lose it all if they pick Amen lmao.

    I think Charlotte is just messing around with the NBA and twitter for their own amusement. MJ's last shot

    Draft is a win win after the number one pick...not a bad choice really to be made.

    Exactly… unless we trade it for a veteran that doesn’t make us a title contender.

    I like getting Scoot if we do because the trading opps IMO are much higher with him vs Miller, we may keep him but it's our best chance to get a good package IMO

    I'm not sure why so many posters say this. I've heard Woj Giovanni and others say NBA GMs across the league are split on Scoot vs Miller. Combine with our likely player being traded also being a PG in Ant, Miller having more teams with an opening at forward and I'd tend to think Miller would give the Blazers more trade options.

    I'm new to this forum, so please excuse me if I sound a bit green.

    Anyway, Miller being the favorite again doesn't surprise me. The guy's got skills! Have any of you tried playing ESPN Streak for the Cash? It's an addictive game, and it's got me hooked. Betting on sports outcomes for a chance to win some cash? Count me in! I remember the first time I joined the streakforthecash community, I couldn't stop making predictions. It's just too much fun, especially when you're cheering for your favorite teams like our beloved Trail Blazers. Miller's performance could be a game-changer in the upcoming matches, and I'm optimistic he'll deliver!

    Just remember: over the long run the House is always the favorite.
