    My bet was “corrected” to a futures natty bet, which I cancelled, all money refunded, so no harm except for my disappointment in a layup. MGM also gave me a $50 free bet (the amount I had wagered). So I find that fair, since it is pretty obvious the original bet was absurd.

    They had other games listed too, all gone now. They were basically futures odds matched together as games. Everything from here on is the original, wrong, info. Sorry again.

    MGM is currently at that number for a straight win for UF over FSU next year (meaning this coming season.)

    While we can all debate the actual game now, I would not be shocked at all if the Mighties are the actual favorites by then. Even if not, doubtful the spread would be more than a single play (more than +6.)

    If you have an insurance token (get your bet money back), this is a no-brainer. Get it while it’s hot!

    BetMGM. It’s real. I placed a bet today.

    The app paused while my bet was “reviewed”, I haven’t seen that before. But it was only about 30 seconds and then it was “approved.” It’s in the “My Bets” queue now.

    Uh oh.

    Update: it was apparently a mistake. I have an email telling me the bet is under review again. It is no longer in my queue.

    I am guessing that is the futures natty bet, although I haven’t even looked at those.

    And no, I will not be putting a single dollar toward that.

    I’ll delete the thread if I get the news it seems like I will.

    And yes, I do see the futures now. UF is +12500. So that is going to ne the deal.

    Oh well, sorry. False alarm!

    no problem. I was on the mgm site after reading your first response and just read the rest when I couldn’t find that wager. Lol. Since I didn’t lose any money on this imaginary bet, all is well.

    Have a friend that won $13k on a $100 futures bet he made on the Raptors a week before they traded for kawaih Leonard and won the title that season. A year later he won a futures bet of I think $9k on the chiefs when they won the title.

    OP and title are just edited. It apparently originally appeared to be a no brainer bet on the uf fsu game but then turned out to be a long shot uf for Natty offer.
