Holly Holm made a fool of us all. If you thought that fight would end with Ronda eating the canvas, you’re either a liar or a moron. Or professional gambler Dave Oancea.
Dave bet on Holly Holm to do exactly what she did to Rousey on Saturday night. And he bet big. Like to the tune of $20,000. With an 11:1 money line. For those scoring at home, Oancea went to bed last night $240,000 richer.
Starting in April, Oancea placed 26 bets on the Royals to win the World Series. He put down between $500 to $25,000–totaling $100,000. The reason for the multiple bets is due to the fact that sports books steer clear of massive single bets due to liability purposes.
Per Kansascity.com:
“I shopped all the casinos, I bet every casino and hammered it,” he said. “It was at 30 to 1 at the beginning of the day. By the time I went to all the casinos it was down to 6 to 1.” When the Royals advanced to the World Series, Oancea had a chance to hedge his bet and put money on the Mets, with the opportunity to win $1.25 million. He didn’t do it.
Dave wasted no time in treating himself. The way we all would.
Meanwhile, I’m searching the couch cushions for lunch money. Some bros have all the luck.
