Former New England Patriots star Julian Edelman placed a $10 wager on Trae Young, Jayson Tatum, and Marcus Smart each making two three-pointers during the Boston Celtics’ recent game against the Atlanta Hawks. Though Smart’s late three-pointer was an unexpected surprise, it won the fan a sizeable $1,500 payout. Following the Celtics’ success, they are currently listed as the -1000 favorites to win their series against the Hawks and are the second favorites to win the NBA Championship.

Edelman is no stranger to betting, having placed an $11,000 bet on the Celtics to become the NBA champions back in January. The Celtics are yet to disappoint him, winning their first two games against the Atlanta Hawks in their quest for the championship. Edelman has always been an avid Golden State Warriors fan, but his time with the Patriots and his embrace of Boston culture saw him switch to supporting the Celtics in 2017. In 2022, he actively demonstrated his loyalty to his new favorite team by supporting them throughout their NBA Championship loss to the Warriors. Whether Edelman’s faith will continue to act as a good luck charm for the Boston Celtics is yet to be seen.
