That was like a 47 yarder on grass, correct? That is about a 50-50 proposition, it isn't like he missed a chip shot. I had a casual acquaintance from a body building gym that invited me to his Super Bowl party, he said I just had to bring myself as long as I rooted for the Bills. That wasn't a problem as I laid the 6 1/2 or whatever it was and got a couple $100's of bets at $20 each from co-workers.
The host had bet $1000 on the Bills to win it all before the season started and got like 18-1. He was just an average Joe and said he allowed himself to lose $1,000 a season and just decided to bet it all at once.
There was probably 2-3 dozen people and the guy had a couple large grills going serving steaks, burgers, fish, and hot dogs. Plenty of booze, no well brands, and couple kegs. He must have spent $1-$2,000 to throw this party as obviously in his mind he cashed his ticket before kick off.
I used to always dread the Monday after I picked a Super Bowl wrong as for a dozen plus years I would bet with co-workers that usually don't bet, $10-$20 at a time sometimes it made it to $500. A lot of those types are sore winners. Anyway, I felt so bad for the host, the day after passing out $20 bills to a dozen clowns did not seem that bad.
If I had his ticket, I would have probably been shopping for new 4 wheel drive trucks the week before the Super Bowl.
