$30k bet

[Cantpickem]

A bettor who put $30,000 on Denver winning the Super Bowl at 14-1 odds on Aug. 18 at a William Hill sports book could win $420,000 if the Broncos prevail.

Some guy bet over $600,000 on Carolina ML the other day in Vegas.......

14-1 odds look great now, but $30,000!? That's a lot of cash unless you're gambling bankroll is millions.

The ML bet on Carolina is what -230? So does that mean he'll win about $270,000 on his $600,000 bet? I'd rather give up the points at -105 or -110, and also not have the risk of losing completely if Denver wins. I could be wrong, but aren't ML bets more advisable on smaller underdog plays like +2 or +1? Or maybe even less than +7 if you are confident of an upset.

I believe he got -190

Never before in American history has so much wealth been concentrated in the hands of so few. The economic power is now monopolized by a small handful of insanely powerful groups. I'm quite sure $30,000 is pocket change to that gambler.

I just meant that $30,000 on a futures bet at 14-1 is a lot, but $30,000 on a side or total is not a surprise at all.

More than likely it was VegasDave. I know he has a lot of futures invested on Denver. Also wouldn't be surprised if that Carolina ML bet was him hedging back some.

If $30,000 is pocket change then how meaningful is winning apx. half of that ($16,000)?
People don't elevate to such lofty positions investing in risk like that.

That was in reply to this

You Need To ReRead The Post....You Are Mixed Up/Confused!

The Guy That Bet 30K Was On A Future Bet Before The Season On DENVER To WIN THE SUPER BOWL...HIS 30K Will Return 420K, If Denver WINS.

The Guy That Bet 600K Was On The CAROLINA ML-190. So His Return Will Be Alittle Over Half Of His 600K Investment.
