Someone bet $100K on Ohio State to win the national title an hour before its upset loss

So don’t feel too bad about your bracket.

Don’t ever bet on sports, kids. Actually, just don’t bet on anything at all.

If there’s one lesson you can take away from No. 2 seed Ohio State’s shocking upset loss to the 15th-seeded Oral Roberts in the first round of 2021 NCAA Tournament, it’s that. We could probably get a testimonial from the unfortunate sports bettor who take a major L just hours into March Madness.

Shortly before the Buckeyes were bounced out of the tournament, some poor soul put up $100,000 on them to win the national championship. The bet would have won a whopping $2 million, according to the Action Network’s Darren Rovell…

I can’t imagine what that person was going through during the 45-minute basketball game. Oral Roberts looked like the better team throughout but needed a late flurry just to force overtime. And at the end of the extra five minutes, Buckeyes guard Duane Washington Jr. had a wide-open look at a game-tying (and ticket-saving) 3-pointer.

It clanked off the rim, ending this ambitious sports bettor’s dream … along with the championship hopes of Ohio State.
