Doyle Brunson Wins Big on Super Bowl Bet
Like many people accross the world yesterday, Doyle Brunson put down a bet on football’s biggest game of the year: The Super Bowl. In his blog Doyle said he placed $50k down on New Orleans. Brunson posted on the 4th, “This will be an enjoyable event this year as I made a 100k bet on picking the winner of the championship game. I took the Colts and my opponent took the Patriots. I think I’ll bet 50k on the Saints +4 1/2 and lock up a nice win. If Indy wins by 4 or less, I’ll win 150K. Nice position to be in huh?”
If you were watching the game, or even picked up a newspaper today, you would know that the Saints went on to win the game in a massive upset giving Doyle a lock on his bet. After watching the first quarter Doyle must have been thinking he just threw his $50k away, but with a decent 2nd quarter and the onside kick that was recovered to start the 2nd half, he probably started to feel a bit more comfortable about his bet. Most people had the Colts as a lock, but the Saints came through with a massive upset.
As for the Super Bowl commercials, for the most point they were pretty dissapointing compared to years passed. My favourite one was probably the Budlight Stranded one:
Or, the HomeAway.com one with Chevy Chase:
Did anyone else make some money on the Super Bowl? If so, post your bets below.
