On September 12, a bettor placed a $250 bet at the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas on the St. Louis Cardinals winning the National League baseball championship and another $250 on the Cardinals to win the World Series.
With three weeks in the season remaining, the Cardinals were barely alive to make the "wild card" spot in the playoffs. They went on an incredible run, and won the wild card spot on the last day of the season.
The bookies gave him odds of 500-to-1 for the Cardinals to win the National League championship and the maximum 999 to 1 to win the World Series.
The bettor wanted to bet more money, but casino officials talked him down to $250. Usually, the bet ranges from anywhere from $10 to $100.
