    I'm so happy for this kid (or guy, don't know your age).

    This is truly a once in a lifetime score, especially on $5

      Holy moly. I would hope to the heavens you played this at a legitimate operation.

        time to hedge much as you can borrow if you have to...

        but make sure this wager is good though.

            You should probably fill out a complaint form now and give SBR a bit of a head start

                      I think he'll be okay, actually. Carbon has money.

                        Tell them you'll settle for $10K and be done with it. If not, tell them you're depositing and you're going to take what's rightfully your hedge

                            Carbon knows you have this ticket alive. They're running their numbers too

                              max deposit at carbon's most likely way below $10,000.

                              even if this hits, carbon's gonna slow pay him to death.

                                  Technically speaking, settling for 10k is somewhat -EV... unless you can get them to start paying it out like tomorrow.

                                  All depends on the personal situation as to how he should handle it, but if you don't get at least 5k out of this at this point, you sir done fukked up big time

                                    This is an unreal situation. This kid is reading all of this and shitting himself.

                                      Lol. One other absolute degenerate option is buying some points to fsu -3 pay less juice. The other is to hang out until half and hope that FSU has at least just a slow start. If you know the dough is coming you can put yourself in some even better spots. That's one hell of a ticket to be holding though, nice job.

                                        $3,000 per month for the next year does not seem so bad.

                                              Sort of scary though... new to sports betting.

                                              Guy is probably going to start tossing around 1k bets like its nothing and end up broke and working for a forum like JJGOLD in a few years.

                                              Hope not, if you hit this and cash out 20k... you'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you never bet on a sport again in your life.

                                              Or stick to these miracle 5 dollar parlays, 38k will last a long ass time if you do.

                                                15,000 to win 5,700+

                                                If FSU wins, you win 5,700

                                                If Auburn wins, you win 23,000

                                                Give or take.

                                                  I'm a seasoned veteran and I wouldn't be sleeping for the next week. I can't imagine what this guy is going though.

                                                  We all do this for the RUSH and he certainly has gotten that so far. I'm getting a massive rush just trying to help out here.

                                                      Guy is probably going to start tossing around 1k bets like its nothing and end up broke and working for a forum like JJGOLD in a few years.

                                                      Hope not, if you hit this and cash out 20k... you'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you never bet on a sport again in your life.

                                                      Or stick to these miracle 5 dollar parlays, 38k will last a long ass time if you do.


                                                      38k is not a lot of money. you cant buy much with that

                                                          If he hedges 28,000 on FSU -280 (line i have right now) - then he's guaranteed 10,000. This situation would be way easier if the bets were made at a Las Vegas sportsbook casino that deals with these amounts of money all the time. Trusting an overseas online sportsbook to pay out...man I dont know if I could do that.

                                                                    If you can guarantee winning $10,000...lock it in. You'll sleep way better.
