Las Vegas boo-yah

[PanthersATL]

Kicking myself about this - every year in the spring I put $20 on the Panthers winning the Super Bowl at a Las Vegas sports book.

 

This year, the odds at that time were around 40-1 of it happening, so if it carries all the way through I'm looking at $800.

 

There was some article recently that said the Panthers were ranked even worse as the season began, with odds up towards 60-1 or higher.  

 

So for next year, do I do my normal spring sports book bet when the odds are definitely not doing to be in the stratosphere (no pun intended) or should I wait until after the schedule is announced and we're closer to fall?

 

And yeah, I probably should have put more than $20 down, in hindsight.  That's a different problem.

At least you put money down.

800 will pay for your trip back there to pick up your ticket and have a little mini vacation.....Almost as good as some Auburn College students that put down like 100 bucks when the odds were 500-1 to win the national championship....I would hedge my bet if I was them. Christmas in the airport...gotta love it..... KEEP POUNDING!!!

Of course sporting my new panthers jacket....gotta represent while I'm traveling.  KEEP POUNDING!!!

Like I do every year, I put $50 down in Vegas on the Panthers to win it all. The odds when I bet were around 55/1. Can't remember, might have even been like 70/1. If pigs fly and they pull off a miracle I could win a few grand. I think Montsta got in at 70/1 or some poo as well.

true, but you can also redeem by mail.  More $$ in pocket that way.

I put down $75 at 100-1 in 2008. Look where that got me.

I bet Florida State paid out pretty well also. Hard to see a freshman star quarterback coming.

If they win of course.

77-1 at MGM Grand the weekend prior to 4th of July.

This makes me think my ticket is closer to 75/1 then because I placed my bet like a week before you did if I recall.
