What a brutal loss I hope he hedged it some what though

[TheGoldenGoose]

That is sickening but, then again, that's why you should never play big parlays.

[t-wizzle]

The article doesn't indicate what number he got on the Colts.

I'm pretty sure it would have been -3.5 in which case there's absolutely nothing sickening about this beat.

Uhhh....it was a $5 - 15 team parlay to win $100k. Not exactly sure that was a bad move.

Hopefully he hedged for $45k on Philly. Can't lose at that point.

[Big Bear]

how is this legal in Delaware but they cant even have sportsbooks in Atlantic City?

[Enjoi]

Well if he didn't hedge even a little he's mad. This would equate to a loss of ~$45k, not $5, if he didn't take the Eagles

[Enjoi]

LOL they call it a 'sports lottery'

[Spedizzo]

I don't know why you wouldn't hedge

The second I realize I need one team left for my parlay, I am making phone calls and putting at least 50K on Eagles +3

letting it ride is for losers

He had about a day after the Bears game to call up friends and family and even go to the bank on the MOnday for a fkn loan

[Big Bear]

LOL they call it a 'sports lottery'

every state should have that.

[BIGDAY]

He hedged.

[brooks85]

guy was lucky to even be in it after 49ers meltdown. Hilarious if he didn't hedge.

[Kaabee]

according to the article they only allow 3+ team parlays. not everyone knows a bookie. not everyone has quick access to $50,000.

[brooks85]

good thing everyone has the internet so nothing would be an obstacle.

[Kaabee]

ya because it's so easy to deposit $50,000 in 24 hours. and it's even easier to withdraw $90,000+

[brooks85]

ya because it's so easy to deposit $50,000 in 24 hours.

did he risk 50k on the parlay?

No he did not. So why you keep bringing up 50k is bewildering. I'm assuming you think hedging means winning half of what your other bet is that you're hedging against. That is not what hedging means. This guy could hedge with $10. It's not about how much you will win, it's about how much you risked.

[Kaabee]

well if he only lost out on $10 i don't think that would be hilarious.

[PhilTheTHRILL]

What are you talking about? Delaware has a sports lottery.. its not like this guy is betting 100 bucks on a parlay. It was 5 bucks..

[Snowball]

this was a sure thing, so he should have found someone willing to loan it to him
for a big one-day interest gain.

guys who bet 5 dollar parlays generally don't have access to that magic someone with that kind of money

disagree. not hard at all. shark would make 5k overnight.

5K maybe...but not 50K

[JAKEPEAVY21]

he knew on Sunday that he had one more to go..he should've booked a flight to Vegas Sunday night and made sure he made at least 45k with a hedge.

Yeh all he had to do was run around a few sports book and see if anyone could lend him some cash haha

[jjgold]

You will always hear a case like this

Many People do not have the mean

Tough break but that's why it's gambling

[tony_come]

The fukker should have call me

[I/O]

Why all the hating on a guy that took a shot?

It's fukn entertainment. This isn't a pissing contest. And he didn't shoot Kennedy.

[krk1030]

So he lost $5.

[Carseller4]

So he lost $5.

Being that was one of the first comments in the comments section....your comment is pretty lame.

[jjgold]

[unamed1]

Uh...Delaware is in ...Deleware and Atlantic City is in New Jersey (different States). I don't understand your question lol.

[I/O]

$1500

It depends on the pool. I got 5 outta 6 about ten years ago.

[crustyme]

he could have asked banks and one wouldve said yes. or if legal sold to pawn shop for $30k.

there was a guy who had $1 mil riding on the sb ($1k bet on giants +1000) and banks were willing to loan him the money and vegas books willing to take the action but he refused. dumbfuk lost over $300k in guaranteed payout.
