Kevin Durant’s Disclaimer Against ‘Parlayers’ After Intuit Dome Battle Sparks Fan Frenzy: “Son Can’t Eat”

Kevin Durant is at it again! And this time for good reason. Wait, what are we talking about? Why, none other than his infamous social media pranks. We don’t need to tell you that the Suns had a spectacular performance in their 125-119 win over the Clippers. Led by a 40-point Devin Booker explosion, Phoenix erased a 21-point deficit and reeled off 15 straight points to clinch the victory!

And all those who bet on the wrong team and the wrong players obviously had to take the loss. Needless to say, they took to social media to vent. Only this time KD was there first with a cheeky tweet. “Great dub suns, and for my parlayers, better luck next time lol,” he wrote.

Unsurprisingly, the comments section exploded with amused and angry fans, with the latter group not at all in the mood to hear it from the ‘Slim Reaper’. Check out what a fan wrote in response to Durant’s tweet. “whatever. now my son can’t eat tomorrow and it’s your fault.

Well… yeah, you get the idea, right?

Then again, this isn’t the first time Kevin Durant has gone to X to shout “parlayers,” as he calls them. In November 2023, after exceeding his scoring expectations against the Jazz, the two-time champion playfully called out the bettors who often contact him with complaints on nights that his performance isn’t meeting their betting goals. With a light-hearted joke, he pointed out the double standard and reminded everyone that he is aware of the extra attention from the gambling public.

“If I get you paid, don’t DM me and send a small percentage to my cash app, but if the parlays don’t hit, I’m every name in the book. You’re not real’ he tweeted.

Online sports betting revenue is expected to reach $14.30 billion this year. Moreover, it is expected to have an annual growth rate of 10.73%, which means an expected market volume of 10.73% $23.80 billion by 2029, according to Statistical. That’s how popular and deeply invested gamblers are in the field. It’s no wonder they get angry when they can’t cash in on the returns.

And their frustration was on full display in KD’s tweet.

Kevin Durant’s comment about gamblers sparks outrage among frustrated fans on X

“no shade. I don’t think KD has ever made me any money, selfish bruh,” said one user, expressing disappointment that Kevin Durant didn’t help them win money in sports betting. Not that KD, or any player for that matter, is obligated to do so. And even if a player decides to go that route… well, just think about what happened to Jontay Porter.

This next fan decided to turn the tables on Kevin Durant. “In summary: never bet on Durantula,” they wrote, followed by a tearful laughing emoji, reflecting a humorous yet frustrated sentiment.

Another fan echoed the same sentiment as the one in the introduction. With one exception. “Now I can’t pay the rent. Thank you so much KD.”

In the end, this fan seemed to have lost quite a bit. “I only lost a 12 leg for you, come on,” the user commented, his annoyance clear as day. For those unfamiliar with the betting terms, a 12-leg bet refers to a parlay bet that combines multiple bets into one. To win a bet like this, all individual bets must be successful, which makes it particularly challenging.

Obviously, betting on players comes with its fair share of ups and downs. And in Kevin Durant’s case, fans are certainly feeling the heat, with some humorously blaming him for their financial woes while others shake their heads at their bad luck.

In the end, it’s all part of the thrill of the game, and maybe next time it will turn out in their favor! But for now, it seems like gamblers are left with some hilarious yet relatable stories of disappointment.
