Small Bet, Big Scare →
The Las Vegas Hilton sportsbook was sweating it a bit more than usual during Saturday’s Final Four match-up between Butler and VCU. Here’s why: It turns out that someone had placed a $10 bet on VCU winning the national title earlier in the season with 5,000 to 1 odds. Butler, on the other hand, had other plans ending VCU’s cinderella run, and that guys’ shot at 50k, with...
