Decentralized prediction market Polymarket has seen another massive sports bet. A wallet that has already accumulated over $2.2 million in overall profits placed $60,000 on the Philadelphia 76ers to win Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New York Knicks. The tokens were purchased at an average price of 20 cents each, yielding an unrealized profit of $40,000 as the game progresses.
Game Status: 76ers Lead at Half
The game tipped off at 7:00 AM Beijing time on July 10. As of the second quarter, the 76ers hold a 50-46 lead. Notably, star player Joel Embiid is sidelined due to injury, yet the team aims to even the series (currently 1-0 Knicks). Polymarket’s prediction odds reflect real-time game dynamics, showcasing user confidence in the underdog.
