Maybe this is the act of a dedicated fan or a crazy person…

Someone made a $100 bet that the Chicago Cubs will win the 2022 World Series. If the Cubs win, this person gets $250,000!!

Someone just put $100 on the Chicago Cubs (+250000) to win THE WORLD SERIES @CaesarsSports…
If hell freezes over, it would pay out $250K pic.twitter.com/8MMMyMjGVn
So why is this bet so unlikely? Current projections say there’s a 0% chance of winning the World Series, making the playoffs, or even clinching the Wild Card. Statistically, that Wild Card would be their only hope of even getting into the playoffs.
