If you’re going to lose $60,000 on sports betting, might as well get it out of the way quickly. Forget having to sweat it out.
That’s what happened to one person Saturday night. According to David Pardum, who covers gambling for ESPN, a bettor at Borgata wagered $59,900 on the following parlay between UFC 257 fights and Sunday’s NFL conference championship games:
Amanda Ribas -325
Conor McGregor -340
Green Bay Packers (-3.5)
Just like that, the ticket was killed after Rountree lost a unanimous decision to Marcin Prachnio with across-the-board scores of 29-28.
