Floyd Mayweather Bet $200k on the Cowboys and Won. Why Doesn’t He Ever Post Losing Tickets?

All, Boxing, Gambling Stephen Douglas September 6th. 2012, 11:02am

Floyd Mayweather Jr., the world’s greatest gambler, bet $200,000 dollars on the Cowboys last night. We know that because Mayweather posted a picture of the winning betting slip on Twitter saying, “I bet the Cowboys second half $200,000. This is real. Not a rumor like Michigan.”

Ah, yes. The alleged $3,000,000 he wagered and lost on Michigan last weekend? A rumor! Floyd Mayweather Jr. would never make such a foolish wager. Those are unconfirmed rumors because we are supposed to believe that Mayweather never loses. Only Mayweather and his inner-circle know if this halftime bet on the Cowboys was a hedge because of another $200K on the Giants to win the game or just how much he actually lost on Michigan this weekend.

Speaking of gambling, I’m gambling on myself in a golf tournament that starts today.
Speaking of golf, how awesome are the playoffs?
And who is excited about the Ryder Cup?

I have the following outstanding bets:
Obama to win $275
Notre Dame under 8.5 $50 (with our esteemed Senator from Jersey)
Blue Jays under .500 $50
Panthers Over 7.5 $50 (not sure was drunk)
Fancy booze in November.

Anyone else take Houston in their suicide pool this week? Be interested in seeing whether you guys think that is a good/terrible pick. Any input welcome, as it’s my first year in one of these things.

speaking of golf, I got my putter re-shafted and I fucking hate it. Going out to to play here in a bit. They said the angle was off on my old one which likely contributed to it bending later. I don’t think that’s the case.
I fully expect to be on the prowl this winter for an Odyssey two-ball. Anybody have an old one they considering getting rid of?

Mayweather never losing the bet is about as likely as a UNC basketball player taking a legitimate class.

Vegas Watch always has good stuff on survivor pools. Here is what he said about Houston:
The Texans are both the most popular team in Week 1 and the biggest favorite, at 65% 86% to win. While they are certainly a viable option, I think it’s best to save Houston for later in the season. As a strong team in an otherwise horrific division, it seems likely that they’ll be a better option later in the season when their win probability is similar, but they’re a lot less popular.

Its a safe pick. I’m sure 90% of the people will take either the Lions or Texans this week.

I don’t think he has a shot. Winning last year will perhaps dissuade some people from putting him first on their ballots, not to mention the controversy. Still, the top 4 in rWAR are really bunched together and Braun is tops in fWAR.

After watching “Hard Knocks” I’m convinced the Dolphins are tanking this season on purpose. Colts will be fun, these are fine bets good Sir and I wish you success.

After watching the conclusion of Hard Knocks, I still can’t come to understand why we didn’t get more of the O-line coach and less Philbin. Even more Mike Sherman would have been better.
