Man Bets $1.1 Million On Falcons

[Mr KLC]

According to CG Technology, someone bet $1.1 million on the Falcons -- a wager that would pay $1 million.

The bet was placed with the three-point spread, which means that Falcons just have to lose by two points or less, or win outright. With the outlandish amount aside, it's actually not a terrible wager. In 12 of the last 15 Super Bowls, the underdog has covered.

One of the biggest bullshit books out there always lying where the money is being bet. Pinnacle and the Greek have nothing on them and the guys that run those books lie with the best of them.

A friend of mine placed a futures bet on ATL when we were there in September. He had $7,000 riding on Atlanta, which is a lot of money for him. I kept telling him to hedge like a mutherfukker. He was guaranteed at least a couple of thousand but he didn't want to jinx his Falcons. I kept pleading with him that it was basically irresponsible to not take "sure" money. He wouldn't budge. Falcon's go up 28-3 and I text him that he should definitely hedge the Patriots live bet now but he doesn't have an online account. I told him, I'd make the bet for him (Pat's were like +1600 live). I told him to at least put a couple hundred on it for security. He would not do it. He was ride or die. I kept on insisting that he could lay the bet and just chill with no worries. No convincing him.

Well, long story short, he has not text back after the loss. He's probably in a drunken stupor right about now. I can't even rub it in. That was excruciating to watch. I can only imagine what he is going through.


This event reminds me of a guy who had a $50,000 futures bet on Auburn to win NCAAF a few years ago. That dumbass would not hedge his bet either. The worst part was that his buddy who is a financial planner told him not to hedge? Who the hell does that? What an irresponsible investor. You always hedge for at least a little profit.

So after consulting with his high school buddy, accountant Brian Burnett, who is an Alabama alum, the two made the trip to Las Vegas for the game but decided to let the bet ride.

[Fire in da hole]

Did he win

[Mac4Lyfe]

Did he win

Did you miss the game??? Hell no he did not win. He probably was smoking a Cohiba at half and is now drowning it with arsenic.

1.1 mil likely same as $100 to us

Saw that two weeks after I posted my patriots pick. Was a bit worried
Someone always bets big on the dog at the last moment or days before.
Broncos received many six figures too after the line drifted to 5.5 but I guess this situation is different where there isn't a clearly better defense

[JMobile]

This is the sadest story I ever heard.
