When the NCAA college-football-championship game between Alabama and Georgia kicked off on January 10, all eyes were on the star athletes competing in the limelight. The stars didn’t disappoint. Bulldogs quarterback Stetson Bennett dropped a 40-yard dime to wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, and defensive back Kelee Ringo returned an interception 79 yards for a TD.
In the prelude to the game, though, the news coverage was less about the athletes and more about the odds, moneyline, spread, and over-under. One wealthy mattress-store owner bet $2.7 million on Alabama — and lost. Sports betting is King. Or Caesar, depending on your preference.
