An 8 teamer is pretty wild, but...
Did you have some sort of underdog ML picks in the parlay?
I know BoDog only pays 35 to 1 on a six teamer. No need to take those odds. They do pay 12 to 1 on 4 teamers and I think 24 or 25 to 1 on 5 teamers. But only 35 to one on 6 teamers. They are pretty much letting you know that they are not at all interesting in booking 6 teamers.
So I am curious on the 17G plus for 100.
I am pretty sure that ANY book in Vegas would be very pissed to make that payout because they are so chicken$hit to start with. Last I nkew The Stardust would not book any parkays bigger than 6 teamers. Most Vegas books would not ever take the bet, or need 4 billion approvals from some bunch of meathead suits before they could book it. Definitely would not take it for 3 or 4 hundred. Time really changes things, and not for the better.
