There’s no such thing as a lock in sports betting.

A BetMGM bettor in Nevada learned that the hard way Thursday night, losing a $25,000 wager on Carlos Alcaraz to win his second-round match at the U.S. Open as a -10,000 favorite. The bet would’ve paid $250 had Alcaraz won.

Alcaraz, bidding to win his third straight Grand Slam, and the bettor were shocked when the world’s No. 3-ranked player lost in straight sets — 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 — to Botic van de Zandschulp, ranked 74th in the world.

Alcaraz, a Spaniard, defeated van de Zandshulp of the Netherlands in straight sets in their previous two matches.

Wow! WTH?! He was a massive favorite so maybe he is confident that Alcaraz would win, but it's just crazy to bet $25K to win $250. tsk tsk.

I wish we could get a picture of this guy. I would want to see the face of a guy who gambles like that so I could have a good laugh for the day. @dougtushyterror would’ve not even made that type of bet. I’m sure he has a cut off regarding his juice that he plays.

For a 1% ROI that is funny as shit for a sports bet

3 possibilities as to why he did it.

1. He is vastly rich.
2. Truth or dare.
3. Someone pointed a gun at his head.

He’s probably rich from someone else and has dumb money to be wasting, sometimes life is not fair for the needy.

I’m really curious

At first thought one would think he had money to burn in order to make such a bet

But then again, $250 wouldn’t mean much to him if that was the case

Could have been a guy trying to build his bankroll off of what he believed to be a sure thing

I wish we knew

That means this experience won't stop him from betting big and throwing money again and again haha.

Haha, good addition, Sam!

Yeah he’ll probably chase more with Daddy’s money hypothetically if we are right about him. Just funny speculation at this point.

Dipping my toe back in the Futures pool
Reasoning:
0 doubt he beats Griek..Rublev/Lehecka winnable in 4R..who even knows if Novak makes QF (always injury concern if he does)..SF either Fritz/Zverev & no Alca in the Finals

I was thinking that exact same thing too, what a dumbass mush because he did not get away with it.
