Meet the Steelers Fan Who Bet $11K Against His Own Team in Sportsbook's First Wager | The Action Network

• The sportsbook within Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh officially opened on Thursday.
• David Eldridge, a lifelong Steelers fan, placed the first legal sports wager in the state.
• His bet? The New England Patriots -2.5 over Pittsburgh Steelers for $11,000. It would pay out a cool $10,010 if New England covers.

You guys could be going crazy. Luck.

I thought about plopping down a dime on the Pats as well. That way I won't feel as bad when the Steelers lose by 40, and if they miraculously ended up winning I could just laugh and say it's only money. Maybe I should, the more I think about it....

I don't care how rich you are. Betting 11K on any sports is stupid. But hey, who am I to judge. If I was that rich, I'd spend it on escorts.

Me either Dude, Pat's have sucked on the road this year. Blow outs to Jax, Tenn and Detroit, usually 3 gimmees. I never remember them losing to these teams before.

Ok... you have just gone to a WHOLE nother level of respect in my eyes!! That movie is genius!! Before Rounders came out it THAT was the best gambling movie ever made!!

When I was younger my best friend and I would frequent the track. We literally saw various people who were at the track who fit the description of each of the characters in that movie.

Well done sir!!

Oh... and you could be walking around lucky and not even know it!

I’m willing to bet @MrChaney agrees!

Betting against the public is often a winning strategy.
