You Bet Your Ass: Week 9

We're heating up.

In a stunning development last week, every gambler actually managed to finish in the black. Hell, the last place finish was +$25. Beloved gambling punching bag Collin Whitchurch even managed to set a new record by winning $300. He's still in 8th place though. And upon further review, Mr. Darin actually earned $325 so no record for Collin.

Whitchurch: $100 on Over 57.5

Rench: $25 on Under 57.5



Silich: Illinois covered 10 points against Wisconsin on the road. C'mon now.
