Betting big on a regular-season baseball game just seems like a crazy thing to do. But you got to spend money to make money…or something like that. So when a bettor in Mississippi placed a $150,000 bet on the Dodgers for Tuesday night, it had to turn some heads.
But that’s exactly what happened. Someone at the Beau Rivage Casino put down a staggering $150k on the Dodgers to cover a 2.5 run-spread against the Pirates on Tuesday night. And they lost that bet, big time.
Had the Dodgers won by 3 or more runs, they would have walked away with $130,000 in addition to their original bet.
