Lol.  He took the spread too.  He should have at least parlayed the money line.

username is youvejustbeentanked?  :unsure:

If there is justice in the universe this man will be one sad 49ers fan come Sunday night.

This.

 

Why wouldn't he just take the money line? Poor guy.

[GolfRasta]

You can't bet the money line in a parlay...only spread or o/u

Anyone care to translate this for us Vegas-challenged folks?

224k in winnings on a 65k bet? So he will be taxed on 159k of income and assuming he makes 81k a year (which is likely a given since he saved up 65k to gamble with) he will pay appx 43% tax on it so his 159k winnings turns into 90.63k.  Not exactly enough to buy a place in "The bay area" and PSLs for the new SF stadium.  

 

Just dumb.

He's fuged

 

[Kelp]

I'm so pumped for this. ALL of my friends are fuggin niner fans. They are everywhere here on the west coast since they started winning.

The Seahawks/Niners bandwagon fans could be the worst I've ever seen.

If we win, I will probably lose some friends and get in some fights at candlestick. I don't even care.

But if we lose I'm hiding and drinking myself to death.

God, I will visit that on monday and cry with laughter if/when he loses.

you pay taxes on offshore gambling?

It's weird he would parlay it with the Bengals/Ravens game which is really a coin flip. If I was betting I would take the Panthers and the +6 and the over...

[mwright350]

There are bets, there are dumb bets, then there is this bet.

 

Even if you have enough faith in the 49ers to take them -6 over the Panthers (who should not lose by more than 6 if we do lose given our defense...) your 2nd action is on the Bengals / Ravens?  The Bengals might come out and rip the Ravens a new one but there's an equal chance they come out flat and get stomped.  I don't get it.

 

I keep looking at it hoping, for that guy's sake, it's fake.
