Sports Betting, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Won $333,333 Betting on Alabama

January 9, 2012 by Larry Brown • Comments

The oracle that is Floyd Mayweather Jr. added to his fortune by betting $400,000 on Alabama over LSU in the National Championship Game. Floyd’s wager appears to have been made halftime. We also learned that he’s not very good at math.

If you read his tweet, Floyd says he made $400,000 on the game, but that’s not true. He wagered $400,000 and won $333,333. Any experienced bettor knows you don’t wager in round numbers like Floyd because of the juice. Floyd is proving that he just wants to throw pretty numbers at the teller, regardless of what awkward looking figures it yields. But hey, if he’s winning, who can argue?
