MyBookie already paying out on NBA Rookie of the Year

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The art of sports betting is ultimately the art of making expert predictions based on numbers, experience and a little bit of luck. Today, the oddsmakers at MyBookie Sportsbook predicted that Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks will be named Rookie of the Year, despite the official NBA announcement being more than four months away on 25 June.

All MyBookie bettors who have already wagered on Doncic to be Rookie of the Year will be paid out immediately in anticipation of his receiving the coveted award.

"With Luka Doncic a lock to win the 2019 Rookie of the Year, we saw no reason to make people wait until the end of the season to receive their winnings,” said David Strauss, Chief Oddsmaker at MyBookie. “As a result, we are paying out more than $150,000 in winning tickets for those who wagered on Doncic during the season."

Bettors who missed the Doncic bandwagon can still wager on other NBA rookies. Executives at MyBookie announced that – should Doncic not win the MVP – they have pledged to double the payouts on the player who does.

For bettors who choose to move beyond wagering on the 2019 Rookie of the Year, MyBookie is offering 3/1 odds on Zion Williamson to take home the 2020 Rookie of the Year award. If Williamson fails to capture the title, MyBookie will refund all related bets.
