He bet 400 to win tbe cup when they were last place. Coupke days ago when up 3 games to 2. Said he wouldn't hedge. Becasue he felt his blues would win in 6. Was offered 75k for the ticket. Now he may lose. Very dumb

Or may win in 7; very smart... Hindsight is always 20/20... Either he hedges and wins 75k. Or doesn't and wins 100k; still was a monster investment regardless... Especially if he'd backed the Blues since their turnaround in January. Will only seem dumb now until he wins/loses
this is hockey; anything can and will happen

Series over
Boston in 7, much better teamComment -
Guy was an idiot for not Boston in game 6. He essentially had a free bet because they could lose that and then win wednesdayComment -
With that kind of money at stake, you hedge when given the opportunity.Comment -
JJ they lost 2 straight for a reason... Blues are the real deal and have a fighters chance. Blues win it all, 5-2 game 7Comment -
He had a free bet Sunday night and missed out. First time in the whole scenario he had to bet the other side. I told my wife he should have put about 1/3 (30kish) on Boston.Or may win in 7; very smart... Hindsight is always 20/20... Either he hedges and wins 75k.

These guys who hold these huge payoff tickets generally are lucky idiots who prove why sports books are so lucrative. So many have flushed 400 away on last place teams who stayed there. He’s proving he doesn’t know what to do now he’s hoping for bestComment -
Look at the Texas tech guy, he should have alt lined Virginia +pts in the championshipComment -
Series is over bruins are better..THEN WHY IS IT GOING 7Comment -
Its doesn't have to be 100 or zero, the right move is to hedge most of the bet and if you want to let a little ride let it, no reason to be a pig, 75k return on that bet is fine, if you think Blues win in 6 you can take some of the 75k and bet them.Comment -
How do we even know this dude has enough money to hedge enough to make it matter. He did say that 100k would be life changing. If 100k is life changing the guy ain't well off. Guys who aren't well off typically can't hedge enormous amounts. Maybe someone will back him.Comment -
Agree with most just crazy he didn't accept wtf manComment -
would go down in history as the dumbest fuk everComment -
I call bull shit - this dude definitely hedged his bet before the cup- makes for a better story to say he didn’t plus he’s a St. Louis fan so he can’t let anyone know he bet Boston.Comment -
No reason ever not to take the 75k in this situation. That ship has sailed though.
Likely he ends up with $0.Comment -
Turning down the 75K is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Before they lost game 6 it was stupid. Guy deserves to loseComment -
Well he still can get 37k +, almost *100... It ain't 75k but not chump change
Comment -
Are we just pulling for the ding bat to lose now at this point?Comment -
lol make no mistake the guy is a complete dumbfuk...who gives up a guaranteed 75k like a chump? only a complete moron that's whoOr may win in 7; very smart... Hindsight is always 20/20...
