Did anyone here collect on those 8/1 Harbaugh bets?

Submitted by diag squirrel on

I'm not a gambler. I wasn't sure if those offshore gambling sites actually pay out, or if once they pulled the bet, all bets made prior were cancelled?

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.

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 :(

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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."

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?

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.

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.
