    You never hear about the balding, slightly over weight guy who put his paycheck on Louisville. Now he's on the verge of losing his job & divorce while living out of a 2002 chevy s-10

    if he bet 20 k on it, im sure a mill isn't much for him, likely already has cash and not that important.

    ps: money means nothing

    If he hedges right now he'd maybe get 100k, so that would be 4 to 1 profit at the moment. What were the odds of them making final 4 before toury started?

    Did you even click the link? It is 100% real, as mentioned the guy owns properties in Vegas, it is not like losing 20K would break him.

    Ticket owner is stupid for going on these shows talking about it, sportbook is smart for putting it out there by now MSU no doubt knows about it. Just more unneeded thoughts they can do without, another ounce of pressure. I would have never did an interview until tourney over and MSU won, they certainly won't win now.

    its actually me.

    i was in the casino on laundry day and i reached into my newly washed slacks and found a random amount of 20 grand in the pocket. its always nice finding loose change like that when you aren't expecting. i threw it on michigan st for kicks.

    At this point, he could hedge by betting SU against MI ST, and guarantee that no matter what he'll either be up tens of thousands if they don't win, or be up hundreds of thousands if they do verse a 1 mil or nothing scenario. If nothing else, you always hedge in this case to insure that you'll at least get your $20K back.

    Yeah, MSU definitely has extra-pressure because some guy wagered 20k on them and brags about it

    Doesn't matter, jj. He has received more publicity from that $20K than he could have gotten straight up. Very +EV as soon as MSU made the Final Four. Friend told me there is a glass cage with the ticket in it and a security guard in front of The D. Guy is smart. Was all over ESPN and major news outlets. Not to mention he had to hedge on Duke ML. I'm sure he's going to make high 5 figures/into the 6 figures when it's done.

    Just because its smart to hedge doesn't mean he did. I'd hope he's rich only way to explain throwing away 20k on a future to win it all before the season.
