The sportsbook at the Las Vegas Hilton is sweating out the Final Four a little more than its Sin City counterparts.

That's because a person put in a $10 bet at the sportsbook earlier this season on Virginia Commonwealth to win the national championship -- at 5,000 to 1.

Should the Rams win two more games and cut down the nets in Houston, this particular fan will cash in a ticket worth $50,000.

I'm do very little betting, but Dan Patrick was talking about this topic this morning. When we win Saturday, the seasoned bettor will hedge their bet by putting 25K down on the opponent, thus the least you would win would be like 20k either way.

I say at this point I'd roll with VCU and get the 50k when its all said and done. Because we will win it all.
 
I am ticked at this. I went to Vegas this summer and put a $5 bet on VCU to win the National Championship and I got odds of 250:1 ( I have the ticket on my bulletin board at work) Now I feel cheated. I did this at the Flamingo hotel back in August. bummer
