One of the longest-running and largest underdog bets in the history of online sports betting may finally be coming to a close this week.
That’s right, we found Bigfoot.
A video from a couple traveling on a train through the San Juan National Forest in Colorado apparently shows the mythical beast, taking a stroll down a hillside before popping a squat amongst the bushes.

The existence of Sasquatch was a long-running novelty market open to wagering at some less-than-legal books during the Wild West days of internet gambling. The one-way option was listed around +10,000 — a 1% chance according to the implied liability.

And here I was thinking I was good at cashing in underdog bets after going a perfect 3-0 against the spread with my NFL picks in this column last week.
That return and my 10-5 ATS mark so far in 2023 NFL odds have been good for a solid chunk of change, but it’s no Sasquatch money.
Here’s to chasing down Bigfoot-sized profits as we dissect the Week 6 odds in my NFL Underdogs bets.
Last week: 3-0 ATS
Season: 10-5 ATS
