Sometimes gambling doesn’t pay off, and for one high roller this was exactly the case on Sunday.
A man placed a bet of a $165,000 on the Seattle Seahawks who were 12.5 points favorites to defeat the St. Louis Rams, unfortunately for him it didn’t pay out.
The high-roller at the Flamingo is back. He's risking $165,000 to win $15,000 on the Seahawks beating the Rams straight-up.

The Rams defeated the Seahawks 23-17 at Century Link Field in convincing, but shocking fashion.
Now a Seahawks win was paying -$1100, which means betting a $165,000 would of given him a $15,000 payday.
Not sure the risk matched the reward on this bet.
