LOOK: LeSean McCoy apparently bets $200K on Warriors to beat the Cavaliers
The Bills running back is quite confident about Golden State winning the NBA title
The Golden State Warriors came into the 2017 NBA Finals as huge favorites over the Cleveland Cavaliers, with a series price of -260. That means to win $100 on the Warriors, you would need to wager $260.
Which is exactly what Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy appears to have done, only on a much, much larger scale.
According to David Purdum of ESPN, McCoy posted a photo of a betting ticket on one of his social media platforms (it appears to be Instagram or Snapchat).
The wager cost him a whopping $200,000 and pays less than half of that if the Warriors win. Should Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant emerge victorious over LeBron James, McCoy would earn $62,500 in winnings.

That's a pretty sizable wager. Although it is worth noting that McCoy has earned a pretty penny during his run in the NFL. McCoy's rookie contract wasn't huge, but he played well enough to earn a $45 million extension from the Eagles back in 2012.
Before the 2015 season he was dealt to the Bills in a trade for Kiko Alonso, and once he landed in Buffalo he got a new five-year, $40 million contract. He has plenty of money.
And unless the Cavs can get back on track -- starting with Game 2 on Sunday night -- he's going to earn another nice little payday.
