Odds on Detroit going 0-16???

[bubbas1]

Talking to a bartender tonight and he said a friend of a friend put $200 on detroit to go 0-16 before the season started. Says it payed out a million to one. Said casino called the guy before the Packer game and offered 2.5 mil to end wager right then and there. Guy turned it down.

Bartender is a really nice guy so I dont know if he got bad info or what. I can see the odds being high but a million to one????

Anyone know what the actual odds were?

anything is possible, but I'm going with:

The O/U on their season win total was 6.5. I'm guessing they weren't offering odds on an 0-16 season.

If I couldn't get odds on the Pats to go 16-0 last year...then I doubt he got odds for 0-16!!had people go to 4 different books in vegas in the summer of 07 and they didn't have it.

Someone offered the 16-0 prop for the Pats online. But it was nowhere near 1 million-1 , 500k to 1, 100k to 1

Would have been a hell of story if it could have been true.

Cant see any casino taking that much risk.

Have someone post a sign on the bar that reads "the person pouring doesnt need any tips" and see if he gets pissed if so you know he was BSing...Or wait to see if he keeps tending and that would say he still needs the money.:shrug:

:mj07: Didnt read to well, or misread the original post, a friend of a friend--so finding out if he really won alot of money wont work:142smilie
Cant see this being true, another guy is claiming in week 8 Vegas called and offered to buyout at $200,000.....just would be something of they were really true
