I'm then going to bet that Greece will win Euro2004. They were outsiders and I should be able to get some decent odds.
Will check this stuff out and report back to you...
I've told this story before in a different sub forum, so if you read it already, tough. I was in Vegas for Final Four weekend a couple months before this fight. It was on that Sunday night that me and a friend found ourselves in the spots book at TI. It was slow and they were waiting for one NBA game to finish up so they could close for the night. So me and my friend are talking with the one clerk on duty and his boss. My friend looks over at them and asks "So what do you think is going to happen with the fight?" The clerk looks back at his boss who nods his head, and then he turns back to us and says, ". You will see one of two things happen: Either Tyson will win, or you will see something so outrageous and unexpected , that you won't believe what you just watched!" He then said, "I have no idea what that might be, but you won't believe it when it happens"
Flash forward to the night of the fight and the war happens. It took me about 10 minutes of sitting there before turning to my buddy and asking him if he remembered what the clerk at the book said. It still blows my mind til this day
