Gambling on Jackson winning Heisman is worst bet


If you happen to be in Las Vegas and you're thinking about betting on Louisville's Lamar Jackson winning the Heisman Trophy, here's a pro tip: It's probably not a good idea.

Why? The Courier-Journal reports the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook made him a 1-50 favorite.

1-50!!!!!!

If you hypothetically put $100 on Jackson to win and he did, you'd make a measly $2. That's absurd.

You know what else is absurd? His numbers: He's thrown for 2,898 yards, amassed 1,334 on the ground and has scored a whopping total of 46 touchdowns (27 passing, 19 rushing) in 10 games.

So, yeah. Makes a whole lot of sense. Plus, he's already accidentally done the pose in the middle of a game, so it's all but locked up.
