Tom Brady at home has a 90% win ratio, why not throw a mil down every NE home game if you have that kind of $? I know it'll be -750 sometimes but so what at least your cashing tickets and come out ahead...

That is a dumb ass negroid.

I'm not much of a gambler, but how much would have Floyd won if Michican did beat Bama by +14?

Well Michigan only had to lose by less than 14 points. Maywether had Michigan +14 points.

The final score could have been; Alabama 30 Michigan 17, and Mayweather would have "covered" and won his bet.

He bet $3,000,000, so if Michigan had "covered" (won the game, or loss by less than 14 points) he would have won his $3,000,000 back plus another $3,000,000.

He may have had the bet at "-110" in which case all the above rules apply but his bet would have paid the original $3,000,000 back plus $2,900 000.  The $100,000 is the casino "vig" or "take" for accepting the wager.

Talented fighter, but a real dirtbag one can only hope he will end up humbled both inside and outside of the ring.

The bet never happen, because he would have had to spread the money across 8-9 casinos. Plus look at his history, in which he usually stays well under $1M per bet.  When is his next fight, because it looks like he is trying to get the haters going, given they are the main ones, who shell out $59 to see him loose on PPV?

LAS VEGAS (WKZO) -- Floyd "Money" Mayweather has about three-million reasons to root for Michigan when they take on Alabama in the opening weekend of this year's college football season tomorrow. That's how much the champion boxer from Grand Rapids has wagered on the Wolverines to beat the 14-point spread against the favored Crimson Tide this Saturday.

He had to lay it off across nine Las Vegas sports books.


It's not the first mega-bet the 35-year-old's ever made. Mayweather once bet one-million bucks on the Denver Broncos to lose in the AFC divisional playoffs. Not only did he win that bet, but he put another one-point-nine-million on the Clippers in a regular season NBA game and won that too.

Do the math on 100 it's easier. -110 means you risk 110 to win 100, so he would of got his 3m back plus 2.7m
(for every mil the casino gets 100k "juice")

Now the game was Alabama -14 he could of bet the other way ala -14 for the same -110 and won even though laying 14 in fb is ALOT and IMO to much.The best way to bet huge sums of $ would to be take ala MONEYLINE which means there is no more line all ala has to do is win, however instead of -110 that game would of been at least let's say -500 so on that 3M bet he would of got his 3M back plus 600k. It goes the other way too could of taken M MONEYLINE for +500(great way to bet if u think the dog will win). Let's say he liked them out right and they had won, he could of bet 600k and won 3 mil, but M would of had to win outright no points. The higher the spread higher the MONEYLINE...
