Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
At that point in my career, the largest single game bet I ever placed was Alabama -1.5 against LSU in 2012 BCS National Championship Game. LSU crossed the 50-yard line just once in the entire game, a 21-0 Alabama victory.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Iona +4.5 vs. BYU in 2012 NCAA Tournament play-in game. Iona hit an in-game ATS win expectancy of 99.9% before a 17-point second led to a 78-72 loss.
