Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Took Sam Darnold to score the New York Jets' first touchdown at extremely long odds before their Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos back in 2020. Needless to say, Darnold opened the scoring with a highlight-reel 46-yard touchdown scamper to give the Jets their first lead of the season... in Week 4.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Had multiple futures on the Florida Panthers to win the 2023 Stanley Cup. After a miraculous run during which they took down a historically good Boston Bruins team in overtime of Game 7, the Panthers lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in five games in the Cup Final.
