Craig Sager finally cashes in on annual bet on Cubs to win World Series

After 35 years, Craig Sager is finally cashing in on his beloved Cubs.

The Turner Sports sideline reporter could be buying some new suits after betting $1,000 in December on the Cubs to win the World Series this year. The wager turned into a winner Wednesday in an epic Game 7 that Sager was able to celebrate as he continues to undergo treatment for leukemia.

The Cubs were +500 (5 to 1) before the season to win the World Series in most sports books, meaning a $1,000 bet wins $5,000, plus the original $1,000.
