Bettor auctioning $8k ticket that pays out $168k if Saints win Super Bowl
Someone spent $8,000 last February on a ticket with 20/1 odds that the New Orleans Saints would win Super Bowl LIII. Now that person is auctioning off that ticket, and someone’s already reportedly bid $45,000 to land it.
A bettor who got 20/1 odds last February on the Saints to win this year’s Super Bowl is taking offers on this ticket on @propswap. Would pay a total of $168,000 if the Saints win it all. Told bettor has already received an offer of $45,000. Love when bettors make bets on bets! pic.twitter.com/2RwbRdeDu6

Really, this is some next-level thinking by the person who originally made the bet. Have people bet on your bet. If the $45,000 bid is legit, then the person who owns the ticket now is already making serious dough on a sure thing.

The person who ends up with the ticket might end up losing big, also.
