Mayweather puts $3 million on Michigan

I see he also gets the 14 points. Shit, I can't call that too outlandish a bet...
even for a guy who did time in the slam.

Yeah he's a pretty notorious gambler. I used to follow him on Twitter, and almost every other day or so he'd post a picture of a ticket from a bet. Usually anywhere between $100,000 to $250,000. Never saw one as big as $3mm.

I 100% expect Michigan to cover the spread.

However, I'm a p*ssy when it comes to betting. I just don't do it.

Me too, unless I am 100% certain. That being said I think Michigan beats 'bama, but I wouldn't even bet $20 on it.

Exactly. And when you're 100% certain, so is Vegas, and there's really nothing to gain and everything to lose.

The one game I cam VERY close to betting last season was the New England @ Denver Broncos game. I think they only had NE favored by 6 or so. I knew that wasn't enough, and that even Vegas was all twisted in its obsession over Tebow. I spooked myself out of betting it that morning (and I was going to do something like $2,000-3,000). Sure enough they went in there and beat the absolute hell out of the Broncos.

Ahhhh the joys of gambling. Are there any online sports book's that you can even use in the states anymore? I know they blocked a lot of banks from transferring money to off shore gambling sites.

Oh yeah, there's plenty. I assume most of them use IP addresses from over seas.

I'm streaming the NC State v Tennessee game right now from: thefirstrow.eu

Notice the .eu? Yeah, if you go to thefirstrow.com you can see that one was seized by the FBI.
