Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
The best bet I ever hit was my first trip to Vegas in 2016 for March Madness. I put an eight leg parlay in for all second round games on the first Sunday of that NCAA tournament and it covered. It was glorious.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Florida State +9.5 in football this season. They were down 4 against Clemson, when they started playing lateral football. The play resulted in a last second TD for Clemson and failed to cover an otherwise easy one. Absolutely brutal.
