Prospect Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 168 Location:	#11 Posted: 4/17/2007 7:16:33 PM Take a baseball game on a team -115/120 or so and go to Vegas and bet as much as you can (30,40K) on the other side at + money. Either way, you clean up huge. You can call it being ballsy if you want, but I think if someone didnt hedge a $100,000 bet they would be a complete idiot.

I'm certain they have backing thru either a gambling site or a sports marketing firm of some sort. Best of luck to ya bro'...Green Bay's finest wagerliner is pulling for ya......

Rookie Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 876 Location:	#15 Posted: 4/17/2007 7:43:26 PM Hedging's the way to go. I wouldn't go higher than 30g's or a win would be bitter sweet. I'm sure the website is insured, like they do with cars on the hole in one contests in tournaments. Either way we need to root him on and also thank wagerline for the FREE entertainment.

Hope that Nashville pulls off the upset and fly home in your personal chartered jet, $60K richer. If not, you get a check in the mail from Wagerline for $100K Good Luck Dog!

To maximize his profit is a no brainer. Every day he should be looking for an MLB game with a favorite as close to -130 as possible and pick it. To hedge he needs to fly to vegas, explain his situation to a sportsbook at a major casino, and lay 25k or 30k on the underdog.

If you lose it add the 10% juice and you lose 49.500 but u pick up 100k on ur wagerline pick. Net net 50K baby! Good Luck! Filthys!

Prospect Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 129 Location: Minnesota	#22 Posted: 4/19/2007 1:48:34 PM You would have to report taxes if you won a $30,000 wager I believe. Casino will make you fill out forms and might withhold the tax up front. Better to make 10 $3,000 wagers at different casinos and not get taxes taken out of your winnings. Would love to be in Freightdog's position, he is already a big winner if he hedges.

When I was in Vegas (stayed at treasure island) about 5 years ago, I beleive that there was a 10K max on most wagers. 50K on NFL. I don't know if it has changed. Either way 10 $3K wagers is an option.
