Dave Portnoy places 600k bet on UConn

[Mister P]

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

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

He has a pretty good hit rate on his massive bets like this

See? The Judge deems Taylor Swift is our Mojo Muse.

Portnoy bets 600k on us.

Portnoy is a huge Swiftie.

You never listen to me. This is all coming together.

Guess I have to go match it..

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.

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

The odds are getting pretty aggressive on us. Books are worried about their liability.

That's the first thought I had. The second thought I had is this better not be the month the devil decides to cash in on that decades long deal they have.

 

[UConnJim]

Doomed

 

[RedStickHusky]

Just tell me when Barkley picks against us.

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

I’m sure it is. But I hate losing 60 bucks. It’s all relative.

 

[Deepster]

Everyone else is doomed!!! UConn by a million!

Fixed.

 

[phillionaire]

Dave portnoy thinking we're the best team is a real "heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point"

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:

Adither, great word.

 

[CTBasketball]

We’re doomed.

 

[Deepster]

We’re not at all doomed!

Fixed.

Sounds like you’re lisping doesn’t it?

That's my concern. Do we become such a favorite that "Vegas" makes sure that the field wins?

One bet, everyone knows the rules
