Was thinking of placing a similar bet on Oregon -3.5 over Penn State. All need is 3 mil. Seems like a lock. What am I missing there?

Wagering 3.1M to win 442K? That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

The only sure bet is that there is no sure bet.

If you are betting that kind of money you are not going hungry if you lose.

I would think there would be much better return and maybe less risk that this bet. I hope he has enough assets that losing 3.1 M is chump change. Dumb bet or he is just bat shvt crazy and looking for attention.

looking for attention.

It could be a publicity stunt orchestrated by the sportsbook (Circa) that took the bet. It's out there in the national spotlight now thanks to this story.

Should have given the 4.5 and took the Vikings at home v Atlanta.

Philly had to score a 4th quarter TD to win the game.

After todays legendary performance is Sam Darnold the best QB in the NFL?

 

[PopesReignOverCardinals]

Philadelphia survived, and the bettor won a net $442,857 off the $3.1 million wager.

Stevens told ESPN on Sunday that the sportsbook was able attract a lot of bets on the Panthers to mitigate the big wager.

"We got a lot of buyback on Carolina, but what was crazy, we had a lot of people pile onto the Eagles," Stevens told ESPN in a text message. "At kickoff, Circa Sports needs Carolina for a little bit. Ended up playing out OK."
