Turco didn't lose anything. He gave back the five dollar bill wadded up, not a wad of five dollar bills. The guy who made the bet with Turco went back on the air to explain what happened so Turco didn't get in trouble.

The original bet was about 5 bucks. The fan gave Turco 5 to 1 on the second bet. Turco lost and owed him 5 bucks. It doesn't make sense that he would give him more.

EDIT: Btw, I think it's hilarious and they shouldn't fine Turco since it was only about 5 bucks.


A 5 to 1 odds on the original bet is 25 dollars he would owe.

The fan said to make it 5 to 1 that Chicago doesn't score. It's pretty clearly obvious Turco lost 25 bucks on that bet.


No.
If I give you 5 to 1 on a 5$ bet and you win I'll owe you 25$. If you lose (like Turco) you owe me 5$.

I'll give you 5-to-1 the Canadiens win the game.

Turco owed him 5 bucks.
