If you missed the big news, we've partnered with ESPN to produce a sports betting show called "I'll Take That Bet". It'll air multiple times per week on the ESPN+ platform, which you can find in the Watch tab of the ESPN app and on ESPN.com.
Episode 1 dropped one Thursday evening, just in time for NBA Finals Game 1.
Here's the gist of the show: Our two analysts — in today's case, Chad Millman and Paul Lo Duca — draft their favorite picks of the day from a board of 10 bets. These are real wagers you can make across the gambling universe.
Today's board:
Here's how the picks went down on today's show. Be sure to watch the full episode on ESPN+. Paulie wasn't always as pleased with Chad as in the picture above.
PICK NO. 1 (LO DUCA): LeBron James to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason (+175)
PICK NO. 2 (MILLMAN): Golden State to win the NBA Finals (-1000)
The Warriors are huge favorites in the Finals, but there's still a case for betting on them at -1000.
