‘Duffel Bag Bettor’ Takes William Hill for $240K

A Vegas man won big on Army this past weekend.  Army is among those teams performing well Against The Spread this season.

From David Purdum of ESPN.com:

A bettor, nicknamed the "Duffel Bag Bettor" by Las Vegas media for his knack of carrying around cash in a duffel bag, has been placing big bets at sportsbooks on college football throughout the season. He was in play again Saturday.

William Hill U.S. director of trading Nick Bogdanovich told Covers.com that he took a $100,000 bet on Army -15 over San Jose State from the bettor. MGM and South Point also reported taking large bets on Army from the bettor. In total, Vegas Stats and Information Network personality Pauly Howard tweeted that the Duffel Bag Bettor had $240,000 riding on Army. The Black Knights won 52-3. "He won on Army," said Stoneback of the MGM, "but he also threw some parlays at us, some three- and four-team parlays. So he gave back about half of what he won on Army."

Overall, the books had a stellar weekend in College Football.

"[Saturday] was a really good day for us," Stoneback told ESPN. "We won all our big decisions, and it was probably our best Saturday that we've had for the season, probably one of the best we've had for several seasons."
