only kidding.
But the sites definitely do pay out on winning bets.
January 8th, 2015 at 8:55 PM ^
I did. Won a million dollars and invested it all in Dockers.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
donate it to the blog and we might finally get a redundant server!
January 8th, 2015 at 9:17 PM ^
You can say that again
January 8th, 2015 at 9:21 PM ^
...Yeah.
January 8th, 2015 at 8:57 PM ^
Those bets weren't out in Vegas or anything and the money it took coming in on Harbaugh to make the host take down the bet was minimal.
Some people may have made some money, but very few.
January 8th, 2015 at 8:58 PM ^
Didn't have the balls. I did however put a grand on the Colts early in the season when they played the Jaguars on an even line. Sorry Denard :(
January 8th, 2015 at 10:22 PM ^
cheezus...nice. What was the payout if you don't mind?!
January 9th, 2015 at 10:14 AM ^
Probably slightly above $900 assuming it was set at -110 on the spread.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:02 PM ^
no, but this feels like the appropriate forum to brag about cleaning up on the osu moneyline last weekend. 2015 family vacation paid for by the buckeyes. I feel gross and awesome at the same time.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
Feels good to get money when they win and feels just as good to lose money everytime they lose...
January 8th, 2015 at 9:25 PM ^
The most frugal way to hedge your bet -- genius.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:29 PM ^
bet on Michigan to lose. If we win, I'm happy to lose the money. If we lose, at least there's a small consolation prize
January 8th, 2015 at 11:52 PM ^
So you're saying your a billionaire now?
January 8th, 2015 at 9:15 PM ^
What's your pick on Monday?
January 8th, 2015 at 9:34 PM ^
As of now, probably laying off. Brain says ducks, but the gut feel is buckeyes. If it goes to 6.5, I'll go ducks. if it moves above 7, I'll probably consider the buckeyes moneyline again.
January 8th, 2015 at 10:22 PM ^
but everything in me is saying osu & fairly easily. Not a blowout but by the 3rd they'll have the game in hand by all account if not score.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:07 PM ^
I put $20 on it. Also put down $20 on raiders in case Jim chose them I would break even. As it stands I won $120. I wonder if anyone close to the situation put down any cold hard cash.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:07 PM ^
osu beating alabama was good value? nice....
January 8th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
billion off of it. Just bought Ashleys, come on down tmw, drinks on me.
January 9th, 2015 at 10:16 AM ^
Okay cool I'll be the guy in a Michigan shirt.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
I didn't make a bet on any site posting odds, but I did win $60 at work across two separate bets on Harbaugh to Michigan. It's probably a good thing too because I really didn't want to spend my own money for the bottle of Glenfidditch that I plan on finally enjoying in celebration of a new era of Michigan football.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:14 PM ^
It would have jinxed the whole damn thing and we'd be bitching about Coach Schiano now.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:17 PM ^
I won $100 from a coworker. It started as $20, and escalated upwards with each NFL insider report. Was like taking candy from a baby.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:17 PM ^
An "Ohio" fan at work tried to screw me out of $10 saying that Harbaugh wouldn't be the coach by the start of next year, he gave me 10-1 odds. Shortly after the handshake he began to laugh saying that the bet was unwinnable because Harbaugh would have to become the coach before January 1st. Thanks to wonderfull insider info from Mgoblog, I was able to get the last laugh, and more importantly, $100 dollars come December 29th.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:21 PM ^
I won a $100 bet with an RCMB reading Spartan buddy. He laughed and laughed when I told him Harbaugh was coming months ago. Serves him right.

Haven't seen the guy yet. We'll see

Lets be honest a Sparty grad doesn't have the income to pay off that bet...
January 8th, 2015 at 9:22 PM ^
"jhack2015" laid down a $6,125,000 bet. Awfully convenient if you ask me...
January 8th, 2015 at 9:33 PM ^
that jhackney didn't let me in on that! Thanks a lot buddy...
January 9th, 2015 at 1:39 AM ^
I made a deal with Harbaugh. You win against the lines and come, I got your assistants' salary covered.
I also bought some new smart wool socks.
Overall a good investment.

I need some help financing a trip to cover the Mint 400 in Las Vegas. Can you help with that?
January 9th, 2015 at 1:09 PM ^
Better ask Durkin. He took my last penny.
January 8th, 2015 at 9:36 PM ^
jhackney is rich!
January 8th, 2015 at 9:41 PM ^
Got 160 mil back. If Dave were still in charge, it'd be Hardware Sushi Street instead of Hoover that everyone walks down to get to the game.
Then again, if Dave were still in charge, I would've lost my bet.

I bet a co-worker that JH was coming back and won a free meal at Texas de Brazil in the D. He payed up this evening! He thought Hoke was staying. I knew better. That was the best free meal I have ever had!
January 8th, 2015 at 10:06 PM ^
Texas of Brazil? That's a confused ass eatery

All things being equal I prefer to avoid ass eateries.

Did you skip lunch before? Gotta walk in starving to that place and skip 99% of the salad bar.

An arrogant friend who knows nothing about college football (but thinks he knows a lot) gave me 10 to 1 in early December. Unfortunately he only let me put 5 bucks on it.

My site didn't have a line for this unfortunately. Would have put something down for sure.
January 9th, 2015 at 12:22 AM ^
I won $4,800 playing the field at the craps table on December 29th. Like Harbaugh, "I had the time of my life. It was like that song."
January 9th, 2015 at 8:35 AM ^
Wow. That's amazing because per the odds, the field is one of the worst spots to play in craps.
January 9th, 2015 at 1:04 AM ^
Not trying to hijack a thread, but anyone doing fanduel this weekend? I'm on the fence between picking Murray over lacy or picking Brady over romo. My question is, is it worth the money?
January 9th, 2015 at 4:53 AM ^
I got in on it
kinda helped a bit, a lot more than losing 250 would have hurt. I had enough faith at that time where i thought we were at least at 80-90% if not better.
January 9th, 2015 at 11:01 AM ^
I was admittedly in the "NO WAY IN THE WORLD HARBAUGH COMES TO MICHIGAN, IT'S A PIPE DREAM, YOU ALL ARE INSANE" camp. That is until I saw the betting activity. Money talks. If it can predict presidential elections and SCOTUS picks, then why not coachng hires? That's the first time I thought Harbaugh to Michigan was actually possible.
