LSU’s surprising loss to Mississippi State to open the season was extremely costly for one BetMGM bettor.
MGM received a $100,000 parlay bet on five teams to win on Saturday: Alabama (-5000), Baylor (-825), Boston College (-1100), Georgia (-3700) and LSU (-650). All five teams were overwhelming favorites to win, but it was the defending national champion who blew up this bettor’s parlay.
Alabama and Baylor won comfortably while Boston College and Georgia both avoided scares in eventual victories. LSU, though, lost 44-34 at home to a Mississippi State team playing its first game under head coach Mike Leach.
