Mike ‘Timex’ McDonald wins $250,000 Basketball Prop Bet

The popular poker player and prop bettor extraordinaire Mike ‘Timex’ McDonald took plenty of action way back at the start of lockdown when he pitched the prop bet of him shooting 90 out of 100 ‘free throws’ in basketball. Months later, McDonald took to Twitter and Twitch to show the world that he had achieved this lofty goal… only to walk into a prop-betting war of words with Nick Schulman.

Live poker may not be taking place everywhere, but since lockdown began, there have been prop bets everywhere, from the consumption of chicken nuggets to how many WSOP online bracelets a player can win. We’ll let you guess which of those two applies to GGPoker’s Daniel Negreanu.

One of the most interesting bets, however, came in a sport not usually linked with poker.

Basketball.
