Message: [QUOTE="kirbivore, post: 1912784, member: 952"] anyone want to form a betting syndicate to bet on Cuse this year? [URL='http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/other-sports/superbowlscene/2011/02/01/bet-you-don_t-know-these-gambling-facts-about-the-super-bowl']Bet you don't know these gambling facts about the Super Bowl | SportsDay[/URL] [I]Golfer Phil Mickelson formed a betting syndicate in 2000 that placed a preseason wager of $20,000 on the Baltimore Ravens, who were 22-to-1 to win the Super Bowl. Baltimore smashed the New York Giants, 34-7, in January 2001. The payout? A reported $560,000. "The year before they'd finished the season at 6-2, barely missing the playoffs," Mickelson explained his reasoning in USA Today. "I liked their off-season player acquisitions." Mickelson reportedly won big later the same year betting on Arizona to win the World Series.[/I] [/QUOTE]
