Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Danny Willett to win the 2016 Masters at 100/1. There weren't many celebrating Jordan Spieth's double splash on hole #12 of Amen Corner, but I was one of them.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Northern Iowa ML against Texas A&M in the second round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament. The Panthers led by 10 with less than 30 seconds remaining and proceeded to lose in overtime. I was on spring break in Cancun during the game and would describe the collapse as a "night ruiner."
