Circa Sportsbook is running an NFL survivor tournament. Over 1390 gamblers entered the one-of-a-kind contest, and less than 300 remain. Unfortunately for one gambler, however, he was eliminated last week after forgetting to fill out his picks on time.
Pleasant, pleasant guy… I just feel terrible for him,” casino owner Derek Stevens said Saturday. “My public service announcement, in this week of giving thanks, is simply this: If you are one of the remaining contestants in the Circa survivor [pool], we are talking about way too much money to potentially have a glitch.
Why didn’t the unidentified man submit his picks on time? He overslept. The guy survived a very hairy week ten, only to get knocked for oversleeping.
Here’s another one. Last week, a man won $253,900 off a bizarre seven-leg parlay bet. Keep in mind that this Frankenstein bet included the Chargers defeating the Jets, Florida defeating Vanderbilt, Ohio State over Indiana, Louisville over Syracuse, Texas San Antonio over Southern Miss, Michigan over Rutgers, and Steelers over the Jaguars.
Finally, let s go with something a little more out there. A bet both so profoundly brilliant and ridiculous that you can t help but wonder if there is any chance of it happening. That bet just so happens to be North Western emerging as College football champions at the end of the season, which opened out 1000-1 odds in the super book. Fast-forward to now, and Northwestern is 5-0, with 60-1 odds, which is pretty impressive.
Gambling is a crazy world, guys, with a lot of crazy possibilities. Whether it’s a Frankenstein seven-leg parlay on a bunch of random teams, an NFL survivor tournament, or just longshots for the BCS Championship, it s interesting to see who, what, and when people are willing to bet on.
It really feels like people will bet on anything these days, though, which is good news for Las Vegas.
