Big bet on NASCAR driver Josh Bilicki could pay off Nevada customer’s Dollar Loan Center loans by KTNV Las Vegas

Because a Bilicki win on Sunday would cost Brennan millions of dollars, he turned to long-time friend, casino owner, and sports betting legend Derek Stevens of Circa in Las Vegas to ‘hedge his bet.’ ‘There’s only one joint in Vegas that I know would take that kind of action and it is Derek at Circa,’ said Brennan. ‘At Circa Sports we’ve always said our primary goal is to help customers get their bets down, no matter the size of the wager’ said Stevens. ‘Chuck has always loved a good promotion, and we’re happy to take part by accepting his bet on Josh Bilicki to win the Pennzoil 400 to the tune of $10 million.’

When he approached Circa Sports owner Derek Stevens, Stevens wanted to take the bet but not at Brennan’s full ask. ‘I wanted to make sure he had skin in the game, too,’ Stevens told The Action Network. Stevens accepted the $10,000 wager after agreeing to 1000-1 odds with his oddsmaking team. While a win by Bilicki would take much of the liability away, it’s believed Brennan’s total liability is more than $20 million in the promotion.
