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.
