Update: Rudy Gobert has won 2024 Defensive Player of the Year, which nets the FanDuel bettor $20,000 on one of his three NBA awards parlay tickets.
Update: Nikola Jokic has won 2024 NBA MVP, completing the FanDuel bettor's trifecta. He won over $110,000 on his parlays.
A bettor at FanDuel might be able to see the future.
One lucky (or genius) sports bettor at FanDuel appears to have successfully predicted the NBA MVP, Coach of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of the Year.
The bettor, known as @RobBetThoo on X, is two announcements away from winning over $100,000. Although he did not parlay all six together, he has three separate tickets that possibly correctly predicted the NBA's end of season awards.
Just a Rudy Gobert DPOY away from $20K 👀
Gobert closed as a heavy favorite to win the award to end the season.

He needs Rudy Gobert to be announced as the Defensive Player of the Year to cash one of the tickets for over $20,000.
RobBetThoo also has a ticket parlaying Tyrese Maxey to win Most Improved Player and Nikola Jokic to win MVP for a payout of over $15,000.
There is a third parlay which has Naz Reid as the Sixth Man of the Year (already won) with Jokic as the MVP and Gobert as the DPOY that could win him over $75,000.
The DPOY will be announced on Tuesday while the MVP will be announced on Wednesday. Gobert and Jokic are both huge favorites in their respective categories.
If all goes to plan, RobBetThoo will be set for a payday of over $110,000. That will make for a very good Wednesday.
Congrats to RobBetThoo!
