WALDORF, Md. — Donny Mayer wants to witness another D.C. sports title.
Donny is now in Houston to watch the Washington Nationals play the Houston Astros in Game 7 of the World Series.
But here’s the catch. Donny could win more than $30,000 if the Nationals win!
On May 24, the day after the Nationals had the second-worst record in the National League at 19-31, Mayer placed a $350 bet that the Nationals would win the World Series. The odds at the time were 85/1. If the Nationals win their first World Series title in franchise history, Donny would win $29,750.
He also placed another bet of $100 at 10/1 odds. That would give Donny a return of $1000 if the Nationals win.
So do the math, that’s $30,750. It sounds like a win-win for this Capitals-Nationals super fan.
