Former Philadelphia 76ers owner and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin couldn\u2019t help but troll a New York Knicks fan for betting against the Sixers in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ex-Philadelphia 76ers owner, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin trolled Knicks fan for betting against Sixers in Game 5 overtime win\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cFanatics Sportsbook crushed it yesterday thanks to all the Knicks fans betting against the Sixers\u2014it made me so happy!! I just wanted to say thank you to all the Knicks fans,\u201d Rubin, who runs Fanatics Sportsbook as well, wrote in a now-deleted post on X.<\/span><\/p>\n

The response came after the 76ers rallied for a 112-106 overtime win in Game 5 on Tuesday night, improving their series deficit to 3-2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tyrese Maxey scored a playoff career-high 46 points to keep Philadelphia\u2019s season alive. <\/span>Joel Embiid<\/span> finished with 19 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Erich Richter of the <\/span>New York Post<\/span><\/i>, a spokesperson for Fanatics Sportsbook revealed that 63.5% of the handle was on the Knicks (-3.5), with almost no one betting the underdog Sixers on the moneyline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Approximately 92.1% of the handle was on the Knicks\u2019 moneyline, staying within the (-150) range. This should explain why Rubin was ecstatic when the Sixers starved off elimination on the road at Madison Square Garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BetMGM revealed 79% of the handle was on the Knicks (-3.5), DraftKings said New York was the sportsbook\u2019s highest liability\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Gamblers were also betting against the 76ers all across the board with other sportsbooks. Bettors had New York winning and covering the spread ahead of Game 5\u2019s matchup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BetMGM reported that 79% of the handle was on the Knicks (-3.5), while DraftKings told Richter that \u201cthe Knicks were their highest liability of any NBA team\u201d for Tuesday\u2019s slate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Rubin is a sportsbook<\/a> owner and a die-hard 76ers fan, his response was expected after Philadelphia orchestrated a comeback for the ages in an elimination game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the Fanatics CEO deleted his first tweet trolling Knicks fans, he did decide to keep his response to a user questioning why he would celebrate bettors\u2019 losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnly cause it was the going against my squad!,\u201d Rubin posted on X.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau felt almost as miserable as the losing bettor on Tuesday night after witnessing his team surrender seven points to Maxey in the final 25 seconds of regulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a tough way to lose because you get up six, eight and then we had a couple turnovers and we\u2019ve got to just be better,\u201d Tom Thibodeau said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPlay tougher with the lead, use good judgment. Fourth quarter is different, understand the difference. So we can do better and we will.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
