Question:
The Patriots have covered against the spread 7 weeks in a row. If you had placed a $100 bet on the Patriots in week one and then kept rolling-over your initial investment and winnings each subsequent week, how much money would you have made?
Answer:
Week 1: $200
Week 2: $400
Week 3: $800
Week 4: $1,600
Week 5: $3,200
Week 6: $6,400
Week 7: $12,800
If you continued the bet throughout the regular season and the Patriots covered all 16 weeks your balance would be:
$6,553,600
That's Deion Branch money.
Through 19 games:
$52,428,800
Not too shabby.
