    Packers -650 so I'm not sure if he can take a home equity loan quick enough to hedge.

    Yeah dude, you know he feels like a fukking idiot now.

    I’d love to know how much he’d have won if he just left Lions off the damn thing. Probably still would be more than any bet he’s ever won in his life

    if he isn't betting gbay to cover that, he's an idiot

    with the publicity of this ticket, someone will front him money to guarantee profit

    You would think so? If someone fronts him $500k then thats a win/win for both of them. $80K profit. Offer the guy half. If the Lions win then give him $75k

    Is there any proof of this or is it just a publicity stunt to get suckers betting 16 team parlays?

    Does anyone know if BetMGM has a cash out option? The problem with hedging the other side even if you have the money, is where are you going to get down a big enough bet?

    The parlay would've been worth around 145k without the Lions. I feel bad for the guy as I doubt he can put more than a few thousand on the Packers.

    5mike5 was using the BetMGM cashout a lot. And they took it away from him.

    So they do, but they may not for this bet.

    Offshores usually have a 100,000 limit on parlays I believe
    But this isn't offshore. Do they have limits on how much you can win on a parlay?

    Here are his bets...

    Here are their winning bets:

    • Washington -175
    • Bears -130
    • Browns -650
    • Rams -190
    • Bills -175
    • Patriots -250
    • 49ers -160
    • Raiders +190
    • Panthers +150
    • Broncos -275
    • Cardinals -190
    • Buccaneers -650
    • Cowboys +135
    • Titans +190
    • Ravens +180
    • Lions +400 (pending)





    Good payout too, actually pretty good at $726,959. Somewhere he's getting a tiny little boost in the odds.

    I don't think they say where this was bet.

    So maybe it wasn't actually bet.

    Don't feel bad for this guy. Look at his bets. He got every break in every game.

    Right? What a ride to get all those wins.

    There is nothing in the world like gridiron football.

    Arizona and Baltimore should have killed it but he is still alive. What a rush to have to depend on the knee biting Lions to win outright in Green Bay.

    I'd have to see that ticket to believe it. Looks like BS to me. But if true, he should be hedging the shit out of that with bets all over the country. Not sure he could cover it all at Vegas books???

    Well then I'm going to guess it's a BEtMGM ticket, or that's what the claim going to be.

    The article mentioned bet MGM, but just to say the odds on the packers to win.

    They give him a little bost in the odds, about 50 bucks, I would dare say.

    Maybe they did some Mornon rounding for him.

    just another reason along with dozens of other why the player can't win. this poor guy has no clue concerning the mathematical chances of winning that bet. it is astronomical, if you can do the math--do it.

    also when you are finished do the math just to win a 3 team parlay. and then calculate how much is returned. is it anywhere near the odds.


    so many reasons why you can't win--in the long run. dozens of them.

    lol, cash out probably not even offered. a 16 team parlay would not be captured in tens of thousands of attempts. even more.

    MGM could reduce their exposure and buy a lot of publicity by offering this guy a fair buyout. They probably won't and will let it ride but you never know.

    But you would be fukkked if the Pack led wire to wire. Best bet is to hedge the hell out of the bet before the game starts. Catch a flight to Vegas, pay a friend to be a window runner, hedge and not worry about the game.


    About 10 years ago I had a futures bet that needed 1 win for about a $6k payout. I flew down to Vegas and bet the other way to ensure I won at least half. I can't even tell you who won the game because I was sipping on Pina Colada's by the beach at Mandalay Bay.
