Big Bucs: Bettor's calculated risk on Tom Brady's move to Tampa pays off

Professional bettor Mark DeRosa was on a plane back from Atlantic City after last year's Super Bowl when he got a clear picture of what would turn out to be one of the biggest scores of his career.

DeRosa believed Tom Brady was going to leave New England in the offseason and that Tampa Bay was one of the most likely landing spots. Sportsbooks, however, disagreed and listed the Buccaneers at around 50-1 in their odds on where Brady would play in the 2020 season. Bookmakers made Brady returning to New England a heavy, odds-on favorite.
