A good sports contact, good friend and a former Vegas "mover and shaker" called me last night. He said that he has a "moderate" bet that can absolutely not almost never lose. An easy ten unit winner, he said.

I bit.

OK, I found out the bet. It was:

Sweden Handball

IK S?vehof v AIK
Match Winner
IK S?vehof @ -1667


Your are crazy, I screamed into the phone

Risk: 1,000.00 units
Win: 30,000 units

-1667

Are you kidding me I said to "Luciano." He said," hey, an easy win $20,000. Bet a dime ($1,000) and take home $30,000."

I took the wager.

The Largest wager that I have placed in many a year.

This is exciting!

By the way "Luciano" has ten dimes on this game. If it wins, that is a $300,000 win. WOW!

If you are inclined!

S?vehof beat AIK 29-25

If you wagered one thousand dollars at odds of -1667, you would have made a profit of 60 dollars.

Not sure where the "Risk: 1,000.00 units/Win: 30,000 units" came from:shrug:

You got a good line though, at most UK books the line closed at around the -5000 range.

Congrats on the winner.
