Bettor places $2.3 million wager on Super Bowl underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover  

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Fri Jan 29, 2021 9:45 pm

The largest reported bet on Super Bowl LV so far is on the underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On Thursday night, a bettor in Nevada placed a $2.3 million wager on the Bucs +3.5 (-115) with sportsbook BetMGM. If Tampa Bay covers the spread against the Kansas City Chiefs, the bettor would win a net $2 million.
According to company spokesperson Elisa Richardson, the bet was placed on BetMGM's mobile app and is the largest Super Bowl wager any U.S. sportsbook had reported as of Friday morning.

This is such an obvious Tampa Bay Super Bowl win

Not only is all of KC's o-line missing, they'll do anything to get Brady one more championship with a new team at 43 years old

I feel like KC is easy money. Easier then against Buffalo in fact and that one felt like easy money.
