These 4 picks are LOCKS tomorrow.

Probably cannot bet on the first two, but I just wanted to point them out.

The past 2 years, NBA.com has had a consensus mock draft. When a player is slotted in a particular slot 50% or more of the time (ex: 12 out of 20 times), that person has ALWAYS been picked there.

In 2008, picks that fit the description were Derrick Rose (1st pick), Michael Beasley (2nd pick), O.J. Mayo (3rd pick), Kevin Love (5th pick), and Joe Alexander (8th pick)

In 2007, picks that fit the description were Greg Oden (1st pick), Kevin Durant (2nd pick), Al Horford (3rd pick), and Acie Law (4th pick).

This year, the picks are as followed...

(NOTE: THEY COULD CHANGE TOMORROW - NBA.COM UPDATES THIS PAGE ON A REGULAR BASIS)

1 - Blake Griffin
2 - Hasheem Thabeet
9 - Demar DeRozan
12 - Gerald Henderson

Now if only I could find a book that will let me bet on the NBA Draft...

Actually, there are 5 picks that are "locks"

7 - Jordan Hill

Daye at 18 also...

Yeah, he has a promise there from what they're telling us.

Haven't tracked non-lotto picks though FYI so I don't know how accurate this guarantee is.

You know of any books that are taking action on the NBA Draft other than Sportsbook?

5 dimes has tons of props up for the draft

 

[harman]

sportsbook.com has some too

 

[harman]

sportsbook will have in-running throughout portions of the 1st round too

These 4 picks are LOCKS (screams "look at me"),

But they could change tomorrow (says " I will prolly be wrong but have an excuse).

The only 'lock' is Blake Griffin going first. I have a wager on which Griffin will be drafted first, Blake or Taylor and decided to take Blake. The odds are terrible but money is money.

The different scenarios have Harden, Rubio, Thabeet (Jar Jar Binks look-alike), Flynn and Evans in the mix.

btw looks like 5dimes just copied most of sportsbooks odds. bodog will have odds but arent opening them until 6 pm est, a whopping 1 hr before the draft

Is Rubio a lock now? (7 out of 12)

 

[goblue12]

The "locks" were...

1. Blake Griffin (no book taking action)
2. Hasheem Thabeet (lots of -300 for the in-running bets)
3. Ricky Rubio (miss, but made up for it when Bodog handed out +700 for him at #5)
7. Jordan Hill (I bet the warriors pissed off a lot a people on this one lol).
9. DeMar DeRozan (easy $$$)
12. Gerald Henderson (once Terrance Williams went 11, it was a sure thing)

All and all I made about $1700 betting on the NBA Draft with the help of a good friend.
