And I thought my 350k wager on the Huskies was large. :D

Am I the only one a little surprised that Draftkings will just casually take bets with 7-figure payouts like this?

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if this is a marketing scheme and that much of his $600K bet is in-kind service. I personally scratch my head to the attraction to the guy, but he certainly has a following.
 
Fanduel surprisingly is allowing you to bet UCONN while in CT to be the champ. No other games or weekends

I thank him for this, because as devastated as I would be after a loss, I now will be able to find the tiniest sliver of a silver lining in it.

He bought the most expensive home ever on Nantucket. Unfortunately $600K is nothing to him.

I now live in Florida. Our company’s sales manager lives in Deland, home of the Stetson Hatters and the town is adither. The sales manager saw the betting odds for the game and placed a $5 bet on each team:

Well, he bet on Michigan to win in football too if that helps anyone feel better.

Front-running Michigan alum extends the same logic out through his recognition of New Haven/CT pizza. Nothing bad in that, and let him serve as a guard rail on hubris while the team focuses on the job at hand.

It takes a real life situation to clarify that Liking a post or liking an action doesn't always mean that you agree with the post or the action, or like the poster or the actor.

The contemplative pause adds up to a good thing, even if the matter remains fuzzy, unresolved, and even unsettling.

Dinging you for casually promoting incorrect use of the leading adverb in the second sentence, with or without the missing comma.

Tbh, I felt some 'need' to find an exception to Liking all the posts in this thread, though it's fun trivia if it's true that he bought the most expensive house ever in Natucket. I'm not going to fact check it; I'll take your word for it. And I'd have given it a Like if that were your whole comment.

I like this thread, but more akin to the counsel below:

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
Rainer Maria Rilke

Go Huskies

I don't know how this works but what happens if you place $5k on each
