Hey, a bet is a bet, even when it’s made on Twitter.
On Sunday afternoon, Colts owner Jim Irsay Tweeted that he’d pay $8500 cash to the person who guesses the closest score of the AFC Championship Game:
Again,$8500 for winner of Pats/Rave,exact score with 1 point cushion for both teams for final score/1 guess only by 630pm EST/Abby's hatpick
— Jim Irsay (@JimIrsay) January 20, 2013
The winning Twitter guess: 27- 14 Ravens, hitting the one-point cushion. The Colts fan with the winning guess explained what happened on PhantasyTour, a Phish message board:

He then posted this picture of his cash payout from Irsay, complete with a letter that reads:
“Jason, Congratulations again on winning a Twitter contest. Enclosed you will find your prize which consists of $8,500.00. Please continue to follow me on Twitter and thank you for your continued support. Go Colts!”
