Just in case anyone was interested and didn't want to actually check the old blog post, I thought I'd update here to let you know how much I would have won if I actually bet on the Super Bowl. To review, here are my bets.
- The Saints +5.5 (line has moved around anywhere from +4.5 to +6.5, I just saw online a line at +5.5 so I'd take that)
- Over 56.5
- Drew Brees for MVP getting 3-1 odds
- Yes a team will make a field goal in the first half (-105)
- There will not be a defensive touchdown (-170)
- Points scored by the Colts: Under 31.5 (-115)
- Points scored by the Saints: Over 25.5 (-125)
Now, let's assume I bet enough on each item to win $100 and I bet $100 on Drew Brees for MVP.
The Bet = My profit or loss
Saints +5.5 = +$100
Over 56.5 = -$110
Drew Brees MVP = +$300
Field Goal in the first half = +$100
No defensive touchdown = -$170
Colts Points Scored = +$100
Saints Points Scored = +$100
So, to clarify, I would have had 5 winning bets and 2 losing bets. Overall, I would have won $420. Personally, I would have been ecstatic to have this outcome, as it would have been a pretty good return on my money for the weekend. Oh well, maybe next year I'll find some way to bet it....you know, if gambling was legal.
