   I’ve never placed a bet in my life and likely never will. But the LSU one is   
   definitely dumb. That’s like putting $4k in a 6 mo CD in a non FDIC bank   
   that you’re pretty sure will still be there in 6 months, but at the return   
   of only 2.5%.    
      
   So that’s your answer. Unless you’re an edgelord betting because you’re   
   a hopeless addict.
