    I have 15-1, feel like a loser.

    Mind you if I was a cards homer I'd probably take that bet too.

    And they will make a huge deal about it, try and get an interview from you.. so everyone knows they paid YOU! It's good business in the longterm for people hitting those crazy parlays
    Interesting, I don't think being interviewed is too much of a hassle, appreciate the response.

    Are you in the u.s.? If not pinnacle and Greek would pay that out no problem. Dsi supposedly payed a guy 100k or something, I've seen many books try to cut a deal with the player and only pay a certain amount. bookmaker is probably your best bet in the u.s.

    Insane not to make a hedge on this.... especially if cards hang on here. He'll be able to get close to 2.5 or 3 to 1 odds!!!

    Smart guy. I know it looks like he lost some in retrospect, but you don't pass on free money when you get into the six figure range.

    Agreed. No brainer. The problem would be finding the cash to hedge it if you don't have $100k lying around, though I'm sure there would be plenty of willing "investors" willing to loan him the money for 10%.

    I'd be the one with the Rangers 1000-1 bet and them **** it up like that in game 6. lol

    Probably be up 20-0 and I'd still would not feel safe.
