The only thing I have figured out about this thread or the O.P. is that his wife did not divorce him over gambling. She divorced him for being a pathological liar after he admitted his best friend was Pete Rose.

If any of this is real, I feel sorry for you. If it wasn't, it was nice for a good laugh every now and then while it lasted.

Because this one case means everything? 

Hedging is a bad move, it's just math.

So if he doesn't post again can we assume he offed himself?

I hoped you hedged from the beginning of the series. At the very least

I don't think he is gone, he might have bet something,..give him credit for seeing the value on 8/12...he probably bet a lot less,...there was a guy in here who took the Cards to win the Series on 8/31 in 2011,  10 games back for the wild card and he collected at 50 to 1 on 1000...and he hedged just in case...


Please all covers people learn...Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered!

Yeah, decently entertaining.  But as soon as the OP made very clear he was not hedging, I pretty much knew 100%+ it was all fake.  Nobody in their right mind would not hedge that.  The OP said it took him 11 years to build back up the wealth equity to even make the bet.  Again, nobody except for the criminally insane would not hedge and thus ensure themselves another 11+ years of hell to once again build back up the wealth equity if they lose.  It is idiotic and just insane to not hedge unless one is a billionaire (which OP says he is not).  So yeah, good fantasy thread, decent call for a Mets future bet, but totally fake.

I had $10 @ 20:1 for the Mets to win WS back in May.  I'm not a baller like some of you guys but even I hedged and managed to win $120, I took KC to win WS at +175 in Game 6 of the Toronto series.  

I don't believe this guys story one bit, you would essentially be giving away guaranteed money if you didn't hedge.  In his case, like millions of dollars.  No way is this real.

Either way, this was probably one of the more entertaining threads I've seen on Covers in years. LOL.
