The Sacramento Kings have a nice young roster, but you've got to be either a huge homer or extremely flush with cash in order to put money on them to win it all this year.
Perhaps both.
Either way, we know that someone out there is either a big believer in the Kings or at the very least hoping for the long-shot odds to come through.
According to Bleacher Report Betting, Caesars Sportsbook has taken a bet for $10,000 dollars...all on the Kings.

That's $10,000 dollars on a team that went 30-52 last season.
The Kings did draft Keegan Murray No. 4 overall (who has looked good in the Summer League) and feature a roster of young stars like De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. Still, Murray, Fox and Sabonis are a Big Three that would struggle to come out of the Eastern Conference let alone a Western Conference that features the defending champion Golden State Warriors, among many other talented teams.
The good news?
If this big bettor's intuition pays off, they'll be in line to make $7.5 million, suggesting that at least for this season, they'll be the biggest Kings fan on the planet.
