    I would get every last penny I can from my bank account to my book's account and bet.

      That depends.

      Is it the same type of 100% as the Clemson ML the other week?

      Or is it an actual, peer into future type deal.

          If it's a "peer into the future" guaranteed no-chance-of-failure, then I'd mortgage my house, dip into my IRA and 401K, drain my mutual funds and bet it all.

            crazyl with the smart replies and an unposted record. i, on the other hand, have a winning record in each sport. go back to talking trash to the ladies, that's what you seem best at.

                          I'd make the trip to Vegas... Where I KNOW I'm getting paid... not trusting that big a bet to internet books.

                                  I consider playing the lottery a bet. I would put everything I have on the numbers I knew would win. I would be the wealthest country in the world.

                                    You wouldnt have to play "everything you had". You would only have to play $1 to hit that megamillions jackpot

                                      Imagine it X's your entire bankroll. You know you cant lose. Why play 1?

                                        If it was "I see into the future" then, and only then would I put everything I possibly could - including credit - on it.

                                        In the real world though I'm the type of guy who is only willing to bet what he's willing to lose - and that's not really much.

                                            I think there is a good chance you would lose 100k on that one Pavy.

                                              Nothing is for sure in life but birth and death never bet what you can't afford to lose because your peak into the future may turn out to be a really bad acid trip and then guess what...... yah big trouble

                                                        about the same as i put on most bets, anywhere from 50 to 100. no such thing as a lock, and i'm just not gutsy like that.

                                                          The vegas angle is smart. If you had access to pinnacle and exchanges, you could get down for as much as you wanted, granted the odds would drop a lot. I would likely borrow as much as I could and then get down everywhere I could, that i knew would pay.

                                                          In general it is impossible to know the outcome of a sporting event even if it is fixed.

                                                          I was in the position a couple times where I had someone I knew I could trust tell me the outcome of several awards that had betting on them. The only outs where offshore and I got down enough to pay my rent for a year plus some. That lasted two years and then the sportsbooks stopped offering odds on the event. Is still likely my best betting story.
