Well, it certainly almost happened in the USC/Nebraska game (I think that was the game) - which was sort of my point. I just bet $10 on Eric Cole to win the PGA Championship (pays $2500). Doesn't mean I think it's going to happen or statistics show it will happen.
Almost don't pay. We'll see how it does next season, but I would be surprised if it ever approaches 100 to 1.
Yeah - I get the late to the party futures bets. Until it gets down to maybe the last 3 games, they are terrible bets. The 5 and 10 throwaways for me are like scratch off tickets - of which I've never purchased a single one. Press enter, see what happens. It's like a fun tax w/ HR for me.
A good approach is often to split your bet on spread and ML (80/20 ish?). For spreads under +3, just go straight ML.
The “steal” and missed shot was more of a rebound in the paint where the Toledo player started to secure it, got stripped, and the Houston player went right up with it. Houston couldn’t run out the clock after the offensive rebound, there was about a 5 second difference. The three was a couple of feet behind the arc.

Betonline has been posting those games at the top of their football page. Not sure I feel that good about it. Taking the morality part out, I don't know if this is a good idea from a public perception standpoint. I think a lot of people are already concerned about the rapid proliferation of sports betting and this probably makes it look worse. Oh yeah, and I find Dave Mason to be a bit of a tool.
Online sports betting has trickled down to high school football
Even with low-level betting caps, this has raised corruption concerns over game-fixing.
Have to post an article if it references Tony from 5D
Agree that PSU should be a few points higher and would expect it to move that way. I think the Texas number is about right, but feels high and I can see ASU taking money.
The only dog I took was a small IU ml bet, and only b/c they've been so good to me. Home field in these 4 games was worth a lot more than a FG. I had all 3 favorites yesterday (TX at -13.5), and live bet both PSU and Tosu like the proverbial monkey on crack.
