Hindsight is always 20/20 in sports betting. It's really not worth looking back at what could have been. But since sports bettors are gluttons for punishment, we're going to do exactly that every week of the college football season by looking back at a five-team parlay that would have made you a pile of cash.
There weren't a lot of upsets during the opening week of college football, but, thanks in large part to Howard, there was plenty of money to be made betting on underdogs. This five team parlay would have netted you well over $2 million…
[h=3]1. Howard (+60,000) over UNLV
2. Maryland (+700) over Texas
3. Cal (+415) over North Carolina
4. South Carolina (+245) over North Carolina State
5. Marshall (+150) over Miami (Oh.)
[/h]Putting $10 on that parlay would have made you $2,135,643.50.
[h=3]What can you buy with that money?[/h]
You could get the Howard Bison, led by Cam Newton's younger brother Caylin, to come play your team three times and still have $300 thousand left over. UNLV paid Howard $600 to play on Saturday. That was a bad investment.
