No win in it for them. 5 Dimes probably takes theirs down after this if they are smart.
    So then it was basically impossible for anyone to have bet $100 and won 5 million. because of the payout limit by the books that actually post moneyline odds like this.

    I didn't think so. Christ, if you had 500-1 Money lines posted every week, you would have people trying to fix games like crazy.

    I thought $250K was the max parlay payout at 5Dimes. I'm assuming these two games were circled and/or limited at $250 or so. I'm guessing that's why 5Dimes is saying take $100K or pound sand. What's the guy going to do? Take them to illegal book maker court? Guy hit a lottery ticket, he should take the $100K, cash it all out and quit. This is literally a once in a lifetime hit.

    Betting $10 on a Howard/Liberty parlay would pay out $544,150. I doubt anyone actually did that. If you just won 500,000, the last thing you'd be doing is posting on a messageboard about it.

    5d would be obligated to pay out the full amount. Think of how many parlays went bust because those teams lost.

    Yeah, Nin. He over-bet the limit. Gonna get what he deserves. Which is still good, $100k.

    Good post. The unlikelihood of that 2-team PARLAY hitting even exceeds "once in a lifetime." I believe the 45-pt Dog is the biggest S/U winner ever. Stanford was like +42 at USC. UTEP (long time ago) beat BYU, when BYU was convinced that Utep was getting the feed from their head-phones.

    The fact he nailed the 550/1 Moneyline is enough reason to celebrate. Fact he had it tied to a 70/1 side defies logic. And they both get home? What a score.

    Once in a lifetime? Maybe once in 10 lifetimes.

    Sorry, had to bitch somewhere.

    Anyway, how about them Howard's.
    Agree, LCo is painful to watch. It's cool that they led with the blind snapper for USC but you have got to have these two incredible upsets somewhat near the top of the show.

    Howard +45 was the biggest point spread upset in football history, bigger than Stanford +41 over USC and Appalachian State +38 over Michigan.

    Good luck getting 100k from offshore to your bank account if you're a regular dude. Not even sure how you pull that off.
