50-1 odds sounds low. Think it would have been 1000-1.

Safeties are rare. Plus first score to be a safety and he picked NY to do it.

I would not have made that bet. I guess that is why I have to work for a living.

I bet that same guy had a bet to cover just about every scoring possibility.

Adam Meyers bet both sides. The 90K he paid in juice was more than compensated by all the free advertising.

First he had $1.5 million on the Cardinals and then put $600,000 on Rangers toward the last few games.

You wonder how a professional gambler would hedge a bet for a safety.  I guess in the scheme of things, $1000 isn't much money to them.
