Christopher Brown is “never cashing out, never cashing out, never cashing out” his March Madness futures ticket on the NC State Wolfpack.
His $500 bet on NC State is getting pretty close to a big-time payout, as the Wolfpack are just two games away from glory on DraftKings, and his bet would profit $90,000 if NC State somehow does win it all.
Brown’s current cashout sits at $2,345.01, according to a video on social media, but based on that video it doesn’t appear likely to be used by the bettor.
The Wolfpack have a tough date with Zach Edey and the Purdue Boilermakers this weekend; they are +340 on the moneyline and 9.5-point underdogs, as of Wednesday morning.
NC State is also down to 16/1 to win their next two games of the season, with the seemingly impossible path of having to face the country’s No. 1 player in Edey before a possible date with UConn.
