If you follow college football, you know that my beloved Michigan Wolverines pulled off a stunning upset yesterday with a win over their archrival, heavily-favored (and #2-ranked) Ohio State yesterday.
Had you wanted to, you could have placed actual money dollars on the outcome of the game. In fact, someone from Indiana did.
According to Caesars Sportsbook, some intrepid Buckeye backer laid down a $28,000 bet on Ohio State, who were 19-point favorites, to win the game outright.
Incredibly, the line was -1400. What that means is that, had Ohio State won, this person would only have netted $2,000.
I sure hope he got $28,000 worth of entertainment out of his bet.
Caesars Sportsbook, for one, thanks him.
