The highest bet reported on the Super Bowl LV so far is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers subdog.
On Thursday night, a Nevada bettor placed a $ 2.3 million bet on Bucs +3.5 (-115) with BetMGM. If Tampa Bay covers the difference against the Kansas City bosses, the bettor would win a net income of $ 2 million.
According to the company’s spokesperson, Elisa Richardson, the bet was placed on the BetMGM mobile application and is the biggest bet in the Super Bowl reported by a sports book in the USA since Friday morning.
As most of the early action was on the favored bosses, the big bet on buccaneers was a welcome show for BetMGM.
“This was a bet we were very happy to receive,” Jason Scott, vice president of trading for BetMGM, told ESPN. “I’ve written a few other six-digit bets before, all in Kansas City, and the public is definitely behind Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.”
The leaders remained favorites in 3 points of consensus and attracted 74% even when it came to betting on points at Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill. William Hill’s two biggest Super Bowl bets since Friday were both on the Chiefs: $ 120,000 on Kansas City -3 (-120) and a $ 95,000 bet on the Chiefs at -165. who would pay $ 57,575 net.
FanDuel and DraftKings also reported inappropriate actions on bosses, with more than 75% of the first money supporting the champions in action on each sports card.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are expected to be wagered on the Super Bowl with US sports cards, including a handful of seven-digit bets that appear regularly on the big game each year. Million dollar bets are usually placed by casino VIPs, large roles who are given extended betting limits. Sports books do not regularly offer seven-digit bets to professional bettors or regular customers coming out of the street.
