There are many reasons why people enjoy sports betting. Some people want to win big money while others simply enjoy the thrill of the competition. It’s not just a successful business venture, many people see it as part of the strategic and analytical aspects of predicting the outcomes of the games. It’s fair to say that sports betting attracts people for different reasons. Now why would a millionaire NBA player be betting if it was simply about the money? There ought to be more to it. Taking a chance on the next big thing. 

Knicks shooting guard Josh Hart recently tweeted inquiring about his prop bet. Yes, a millionaire NBA player is into sports betting. Hart took a prop bet on Green Bay Packers rookie, Dontayvion Wicks. A common sentiment among fans running on the thread was why would Hart be gambling. Hart shuts down a fan who thought betting was just about money. 

Josh Hart put his bet for “the love of the game”

The Green Bay Packers lost to the New York Giants in Monday’s game. Wicks got hurt, and he got excited in the last quarter of the game. He didn’t come back to the game and in his post-game interview; he hinted at the high ankle issues, which could take weeks to recover. The next game is on Sunday against Tampa Bay and Wicks’s presence in the game will become clearer during the practice sessions in the week. So $37,920,000 rich Hart tweets, “Wicks got hurt….is his prop bet void?”

According to the House rules and without knowing the full context, if Wicks’ name is listed on the injury list for the next game, the bet will be voided. Just to settle down the fans, in case of a ‘void’, the stakes are fully refunded. So millionaire Josh wouldn’t be concerned about money as one fan directly asked him, “Bro ur rich why are you betting ?”.
