Vegas took 2k preseason bet on Burrows for Heisman 200-1

[Joe Sharp]

Actually heard there were 2 bets but Jim Burrows placed one of them.... Joe's dad. That's pretty cool.

Yeah good deal. Think if I was in their boots would buy a bit of insurance policy for Joe in case something goes wrong next game or 2 injury wise.

Rovell posted it was FAKE tweet

[jtoler]

hard to believe someone would dump 2k on burrows preseason, he'd done and showed absolutely nothing up till then

[Otters27]

Is it illegal for his dad to do that?

[Joe Sharp]

Don't think it's illegal. Who was the golfer whose dad set up a bet in europe for his son to win a major? Rory maybe... now I have to look it up.

[Joe Sharp]

"Golfers in the British Open can't bet on the tournament. Luckily for Rory's McIlroy's father, their dads can. Gerry McIlroy will be $171,000 richer after cashing in on a 200-pound ($341) bet he placed in 2004 that his son would win the British within 10 years."

Also pretty cool. Hope they are both true!
