Just got back from vegas SJU 150-1 to win Champioship

Not the best odds but atleast we are listed. Their were 9 big east teams listed. ND was 200-1. Marquette was also 150-1. Lousiville was 85- 1. Uconn 55-1. Pitt, syracuse, W. Virginia, Nova, and Georgetown were all between low 20's and mid 30s.

I know one guy, who, despite his nickname, normally makes his money off of horses, etc. that made slightly over six figures on Duke in April off of a 15/1 wager last August. Two days later, he found out that his wife had terminal cancer.

Presuming it was a good marriage this must have been devastating.

I do, however, believe it or not, know some who would have felt that that they were on a roll.

They weren't married for 27 years. For certain reasons, ahem, they had everything in the lady's name. He only dealt in cash. When this broke, he suddenly got married. Due to her being hospitalized in NJ (where she was working), they had wait 72 hours and the doctor wasn't sure if she'd make it, due to the late nature of the prognosis. She's managed to live day-to-day for over two months. He panicked and had her sign over all sorts of things immediately so that her sister wouldn't get it.
