He had Stardom Bound and Zenyatta

23 and 24 is amazing, but if you get this far, you better be doing the research and making SOLID choices. How is a team going on the road playing in a dome a solid choice?

Used to be home teams had a huge advantage in the NFL, it's certainly less this year but dome teams are still pretty strong at home...

You know what though, both teams these guys took were favored, so maybe they found a way to layoff and took the points in both situations, although I don't know many, if any, that would 'book' a 250 or 400k bet...

Who is taking 250k worth of action though? For Vegas to take that type of action from a random dude, you are looking at red tape for two weeks

No, but you'd hope he would have at least got 10k for his close call.
