    In the article it says he owns The D and Golden Gate hotels in downtown Las Vegas, so hedging should not be a problem for him.

    IF you are willing to put $20,000 on someone at a 50-1 shot, I'm sure he has over a 1mils "laying around".

    Here's what I would do (if there isnt a prop of "MSU not winning the title" he could hedge on.

    Duke right now is -245.
    I'd bet 80,000 to win 32,700. If Duke wins, he's at a profit of 12,700.

    Duke loses, now he's 100,000 behind. KY shouldnt be more than a -500 favorite to beat MSU and Wisconsin would be way less than that.

    Worse case put 800,000 on KY at -500. If KY wins, he wins 160,000. Profit (160,000 - 100,000 = 60,000)
    If MSU wins, he'd be at a profit of 1,000,000 - 900,000 = 100,000.

    If he hedges properly he should clearly make good money on this.

    Cute run for MSU, but they were favored in their last two games. Duke will steamroll them. Time to cut bait.

    When your head coach is Tom Izzo, who will go down in history as an all time great, they have a shot.

    Izzo is 1-8 vs. Coach K I believe, though that's usually when there's been a pretty strong imbalance in rosters.

    Of course, the same could be said about their respective rosters this year.

    Duke looks pretty damn good right now. Not sure where this defense is coming from, but it makes them a hell of a lot more dangerous than usual. I'm starting to think they might win the title.

    You're right. Basketball is actually more susceptible to upsets than football.

    $800K on a NCAAB ML... There may not be enough books in Vegas to spread that around.
