Man has cards 999-1 in world series!!!

[mt675826]

Congratulations to that guy, wow.

[k13]

Pinnacle would pay $250k would they not?

[k13]

I have 15-1, feel like a loser.

Mind you if I was a cards homer I'd probably take that bet too.

[the10man]

hope they hold on. i love stories like this

[TheDane]

They will pay up to whatever their posted Maximum payout for parlays is..

And they will make a huge deal about it, try and get an interview from you.. so everyone knows they paid YOU! It's good business in the longterm for people hitting those crazy parlays

Interesting, I don't think being interviewed is too much of a hassle, appreciate the response.

I'm sorta trying to hit a monster parlay, if anyone were to ever do it, what usually happens? They just don't pay you?

Are you in the u.s.? If not pinnacle and Greek would pay that out no problem. Dsi supposedly payed a guy 100k or something, I've seen many books try to cut a deal with the player and only pay a certain amount. bookmaker is probably your best bet in the u.s.

[priskilla22]

Haha, I guess really horrible homer bets do pay off sometimes.

[TheNew]

Your bet is with sportsbook.com?

lol, good luck with that.

Yes I know...
But im keeping the faith!

[vitalogist]

Insane not to make a hedge on this.... especially if cards hang on here. He'll be able to get close to 2.5 or 3 to 1 odds!!!

[Keelo]

No hedge necessary. That dude better be celebrating his ass off in Vegas.

[YorkHunt]

If he hasnt overdosed on Coke yet

[GunShard]

Anyone know what the preseason odds on the Cardinals to win the world series on 5dimes?

[jdwars]

He hedged. Put $100k on Texas before the World Series started.

Smart guy. I know it looks like he lost some in retrospect, but you don't pass on free money when you get into the six figure range.

[cadillac pete]

I would never get that lucky. For me it would have been $500 out the window.

[killawookie]

He hedged his bet by putting 100 grand on the Rangers before the series began.. lol fool

Agreed. No brainer. The problem would be finding the cash to hedge it if you don't have $100k lying around, though I'm sure there would be plenty of willing "investors" willing to loan him the money for 10%.

I'd be the one with the Rangers 1000-1 bet and them **** it up like that in game 6. lol

Probably be up 20-0 and I'd still would not feel safe.
