Bettor Lays $40,000 On Tennessee ML (-1300) vs Appalachian St

[thecentaur]

i think if that 40k meant nothing to him he wouldn't even have bothered risking it to try to win 3k

Nor would he have posted it. I know I wouldn't post laying $4 to win 30 cents

The guy could be a billionaire for all we know.......the problem I have with his wager is risk vs reward, its simply stupid on that end......if he does have throw away money, then its nothing to him if he loses.....but the risk vs reward isn't there.

A wager like this reminds me of the Big Horse players that would bet a Huge favorite to Show to pick up 10 or 20 cents on every $2 bet
They are betting $20, 30, 40 or even $50,000

They call them Bridge Jumpers when the horse is off the board

It's so weird to me that people make a big deal over the amount bet. It's all relative. You have no idea who the guy is or how much money he has. I am a supervisor at a casino and the people who bet 10 bucks per hand are typically worse off then the ones who bet 1K per hand. The amount of money bet is meaningless. It seems to me gamblers would understand this but clearly they don't.

I think most people understand this ... and nobody knows what that amount means to this person who made the wager. But I still don't think it was a good wager... or I'll change that to I don't think this was the Right team to make that wager on..

Just my 2 cents

As others have said,if he didn't have this kind of money he would not be doing it.This 40k probably means nothing to him and i doubt its the first time he has done this.BAS said it right,these people gamble like horse people by betting a large amount on a horse to show that is maybe 1/9,even though i think its more risky against the horse player rather than the sports bet........APP.ST is not exactly a push over as also like they said several years ago they beat Michigan,so don't knock Tennessee to bad as the first game of live action in the season can look good or bad

Never in doubt!

 

[HacheMan]

I'm sure he's happier about not losing the 40,000 than winning the 3,000.

Ha you're right

Not necessarily.

You can look at it both ways.

If $40,000 is nothing to him, then why would he be wasting his time to win a measly $3,000....

 

[razorbackpicks]

No. It just means Tenn is scoreless on the 1st possession of OT

I have watched and bet on way too many big ML underdogs to assume anything positive (like making a fg with their possession) for the underdog

That would be a safety actually and game over... Well I should say if it bounces and goes out of bounds, it is a safety and obviously you know what happens if app st recovers, they get the opportunity at the 25 for a FG to win.

 

[Bourn]

The 40k risked isn't what got me interested in this thread. If you have a shit ton of money then laying 40k on a game is totally understandable. It's the fact he risked 40k to get 3k. That's DUMB! If Tenn won by 60 it's still dumb.

If I have $5 million, I wouldn't bet 40k/3k. That doesn't make sense any way you look at it. And imo it looks to me the 40k did mean something to him because of the bet. Which makes it even more dumb. I'm glad he won. And I doubt he does it again unless he's just an idiot which is totally possible.

Like I said with the Big Horse Players ... they see nothing wrong with laying that much to win $2,500

You would think it's a waste of time, but if I'm a huge Horse gambler and I think there's no way the heavy Favorite is going to off the board, that $2500 is easy money

Like keyman said, I think anything can happen in a horse race, so guessing a football game is a better bet ( even though anything can happen there too )

 

[Bourn]

If Tenn blew Ap St out from beginning to end this thread wouldn't have made page 2. It was a fun game to watch knowing that idiotic play was out there. Lol

I wonder if the race tracks track this sort of stuff?
I mean sample size , say I year maybe two.

I get reading the DRF and making a logical assumption was just curious if anyone could
get an extra edge @ any given track knowing the above.

does this make sense?

I known there are different factors...

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

He is not gambling,he is stealing money!!! Yes,I am serious,STEALING!! LOCK

I think college football big moneylines are about the safest they are. Didnt read thread but I am sure everyone ripped on this guy and at the end of the day he made over 3k.

It is rare major dogs win outright in college football. I have won a number of 15-25 ML parlays in college football.

No. The only possibility for a safety in OT is if the defense gets a -75 yard sack on the 1st play. If there was a turnover App St. as a 22 point underdog has to score on their possession, and like I said earlier, to assume that is going to happen is a big mistake.

hache



entertainment,....the thrill of saying he bet 40k and won,...anything is possible,...i doubt if it was his life savings he was throwing on the game
