If Burrow doesn’t melt in the Bama game he has Arky Aggie and the Rebels. Those defenses are Swiss cheese. The numbers will be there

It's only $50. Let it ride.

I’ve got 50 to win 5k but it’s an offshore book, so there is no buy back

I have no choice but to let it ride

He should make his decision before next weekend. It could plummet

If he's line to win $10,000, and odds are 1:1, no don't take it. It would take a $5000 bet to win $10,000 now so their offer should be closer to $5000. Also the whole point of gambling is risk taking so why back out now? When he placed the bet was he thinking "I hope Burrow tears it up early so they offer me a ticket out of the bet?" I doubt it.

I’d definitely let it ride. $3500 doesn’t really move the needle for me like $10k would, and if anything, it’s MORE of a sure thing that Burrow wins it.

Even if we lose to Bama, it won’t be because Burrow couldn’t get it done.
