Bettor Turns Down Lucrative Offer From Dez Bryant on Texas Tech Betting Ticket (TWEETS)

Back in November, one genius bettor decided he was going to drop $1,500 on Texas Tech to win the National Championship, a program that had never been to the National Title game in its history.

Four months later and this guy/girl is just one win away from cashing in on $300K.

The man who holds this $1,500 bet on Texas Tech to win $300,000 got offers to sell this on ⁦@PropSwap⁩ today for up to $125,000. He passed. No idea on his hedge strategy, but told he does have a position on Virginia. pic.twitter.com/XOl9Ey6RAP

Former Dallas Cowboys/New Orleans Saints receiver Dez Bryant is a big believer in Texas Tech to win the national championship, which is why he offered the guy $50,000 to take that ticket off his hands. The guy declined.

Almost four months later, that ticket is now one game away from cashing. And despite an offer from Dez Bryant and another for $125,000 on PropSwap (a secondary marketplace for sports betting futures tickets), the bettor is letting it ride. https://t.co/9CiSa2drOX
