Artie Lange told the story of when McDonald and him were doing shows together and they bet a "lightning" bet where you could bet certain amount on each point going over or under a total. They bet on the Bulls-Jazz playoff game to go over. Lange, I beliece, bet $50 a point and McDonald bet $1,000. It was the lowest scoring game in playoff history--96-54. I tried to find what the total was but can't find it, but McDonald must have lost about $50,000 on that.
I have heard that story before. Line was Bulls -4.5/180
