Biggest Bet of the Day! Espn Streak

[gm2022]

Right now there are 2 players with 23 wins(2 away from a million bucks!) Both are playing the Wake forest and Boston College! One on BC other on WF, just thought this must be intense shit with the way this game is going! With the amount of money riding on this!

My other question if you were at 24 wins, would you some what try to hedge/sell your pick if you could???

[ocho cinco]

i think they put you in a draw for hitting 25 straight. is wouldn't be that hard to pick big favorites even if it is 25 in a row.

I haven't looked, but I assume espn is smart enough to not allow you to pick from every game played. For instance, I'd assume Florida wasn't available to be picked.

I could very well be wrong though, so who knows

Draw?? Its first one to 25 and they win the mill and lots of taxes to fork over as well

[Casperwaits]

They have a select number of games to choose from. I have been playing all season, and the best I have done is 8 in a row

Wow can you imagine that 4th qtr roller coaster these 2 went through in this game.

[Chi_archie]

and imagine the pressure next week, when one of these guys is making a pick for 1 million dollars...


would the bank approve a loan so that you could put down a 500k as a hedge bet on the ml of the underdog you bet against in the espn contest?

I'd get a few loans, fly out to vegas for the weekend with 20 of my best friends and be a big shot for a weekend

[etothep]

Considering the taxes on the mill of winnings, doubt 500K is the ideal amount for a hedge bet

Id prob only do like 100k in loans and lay it on a dog if given time!

If you win on the streak 500k is close to what you would get after taxes ect! I say laying a 100k on ML dog at the best price you can get would be the play and just hope you have to pay the loan back or collect you winnings right than and there! Either way it would be a party after its all said and done!

[diogee]

I think he has until the end of the year to make the final selection...plenty of time to get a hedge fund. I would definitely find a way to get my hands on a good chunk of change. With the choices of games limited to around to small faves you could probably find +155 dog ml at best.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Chi, he could get murdered bad if he takes a ML dog.

Lets say he takes Team A -10.5
Then he lays 250k on Team B ML at +350

Team A wins by 10.

Game over.

Bet one side in the streak and add the other side for 300k

Aren't these straight up picks?

Game over as in he wins the Million

[Chi_archie]

I need a link to see this contest first hand

[Dashwood Clipper]

Is there any hockey in this contest, if so play a +150 ml dog on the ice.

[VegasDave]

How sick would it be to middle?

Take the favorite ML in the contest and bet the Dog +4 for 200,000

Fave wins 24 - 21

[mmike032]

couldnt imagine the pressure for next weeks pick
I would be figuring what the taxes will be and definitly hedging it some how, even if I had to find investors to do it

[gm2022]

Both players with 23 and 24 wins made plays on Carolina!

1 million bucks at stake and down 10-0, hope he hedged lol!

[gm2022]

Down 17-0 for a Mill bucks man this has to hurt right now!

[rm18]

that is unreal to win 24 and take Carolina

[ocho cinco]

Carolina line was biggest trap this week, imo. You gota feel bad for the guy though, most probably 24-1 and zero money.

[ocho cinco]

I wonder what other games were available today.

[rm18]

He still could get 10k if two guys do not top him by the end of the year, I doubt he hedged making a dumb pick like the Panthers.

[rm18]

I wonder what other games were available today.

South Florida was probably the best play, but in his siuation he should of just waited and picked his spot. They have listed some bets that are over 80% winners but they seemed to have tightened up offerings lately.


They had Obama, USC vs. OSU, and MIssouri vs. Nebraska were easy winners. Also some prop bets have been easy.

yea thats what i was thinking but the guy prolly doesn't have half a mil.

[gm2022]

yea thats what i was thinking but the guy prolly doesn't have half a mil.

why would u hedge half a mill,

100k would do just fine and is a more realistic number!

hedging half a mil looks pretty good right now. lol sell the house and head to vegas

[ocho cinco]

no gimme picks today, maybe should have waited for tommorow

[ocho cinco]

wow, carolina settled for fg. not looking good

[gm2022]

hedging half a mil looks pretty good right now. lol sell the house and head to vegas

But like stated above after taxes ect of the mill you would win you prob get 600k. So betting half a Mill in vegas would be dumb to do!

The best thing in my mind with the given time is get some where around 50k up to 200k and lay it on the +Ml like the Colts and than SD on the contest. That seems like the most realistic thing to do, but Im sure not everyone has access to that kind of money to hedge!

God I wanna see this guy would prob make for some funny tv right now, with him watching the game!
