LAS VEGAS (AP) — The nearly quarter-million dollars in winning wagers reportedly placed at MGM Resorts last Sunday might be the largest sportsbook loss in Las Vegas history on bets made after an event has started
The end of the article deals with a LSU fan placing a bet he couldn't lose

I got lit up on some halftimes before. If you don’t manually close out the halftime line, they keep betting it and that’s what they did.”
Walker said a college football bettor once placed a $3,000 halftime wager on Louisiana State late in the fourth quarter, when the bet couldn’t lose.
“Once I saw that bet come across the ticker in the fourth quarter, I was mortified,” he said.
The sportsbook locked out the ticket from cashing while Walker went to the MGM Grand to explain his mistake to the bettor.
“He gave me the story that they didn’t know and they were LSU fans. But yet you’re watching the game,” he said. “But it was 100% my fault. They were guests of the casino, so at that point I sided with them and it was a mistake we had to eat.”

Nearly all of the approximately 50 wagers were placed on self-serve kiosks at the Bellagio between 1:30 a.m. and 3 a.m. when the games in question started at 1 a.m. and 2 a.m.
Among the bets was a $250, 10-leg parlay that paid more than $137,100.

Good bet. Wish it worked like that with offshore books. 5dimes will threaten to cancel your account if u bet games after they have started

I haven't bet with any of those offshore books in over 10 years - since they made it next to impossible to get paid on a number of wins.

I was told by a pit boss in Vegas that one of the things that finally got NBA ref Pat Donaghy busted was back to back games with 7 figure bets that cashed in games he called. I asked who booked the bets , and he wouldn't say, just that it wasn't The Aria , which is where i was gambling.
