If they beat FSU, they’d be about 8-1 right now and the result of that game is pretty immaterial going forward to their title hopes so it seems like good value.

So turning $100 to 4k isn’t worth it to you?


In theory, sure. But the odds just seem awfuly far in favor of me getting more out of lighting it on fire. If you can afford to essentially do just that on the (not insignificant) chance that you lose that bet, its not my place to judge. My brain just isnt wired to be a gambler.

Wow, nice payout. I’ll probably do $200 or so this season. I think the odds will be +1000 or so since we don’t have Screws and Skenes.

The latest odds give the Tigers about a 2.5% chance of winning the NCG. The current favorites appear to be Ohio St and Oklahoma

I had 10 bucks at 25-1 and another 10 at 22-1 on LSU in 19 at Horseshoe Tunica, wasn’t a lot of money but there was a triumphant satisfaction cashing those two tickets.

Yes. Can't retire on 4 stacks, should've bet more.

See this is why I don't gamble. I look at that and with how unlikely the chances are, I would feel you'd have to add at least one more zero on the return for me to even consider it.

yes, you clearly don’t gamble or understand the numbers.

what you’re saying is LSUs odds would have to be 400:1 before you would even consider betting on them to win the championship. That’s completely asinine

I bet them at +5000 back in January but took a cash out offer for more than 3x my bet in August.

I still think +4000 is good value though.

We are the best value

We are way ahead of UGA and Bama and have a much better shot.

And there is nothing wrong with that.
