With the NFL season kicking off, there was a slew of major wagers dropping at sportsbooks across the country. And as no surprise, results were mixed for the high-roller bettors who ponied up big cash.
One of the largest reported bets in the NFL Week 1 odds market was a monster $300,000 play on Ravens moneyline +130 vs. the Chiefs. The wager was placed at DraftKings Sportsbook by Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports.
If Baltimore had won Thursday’s regular-season opener, then Portnoy would’ve profited $390,000, for a $690,000 total payout. But the Ravens fell 27-20 after an apparent final-seconds touchdown was overturned following a review. Isaiah Likely’s catch was nullified by perhaps one inch, as his toe was just barely out of bounds.
Let’s dive into more notable wagers and parlay winners from NFL Week 1 betting.
I Like Big Bets And I Cannot Lie
Portnoy’s bet wasn’t the only biggie in the Ravens-Chiefs showdown. At South Point sportsbook in Las Vegas, a customer put $220,000 on Baltimore to cover as a 3-point underdog.
Another South Point customer countered with a $110,000 play on Chiefs -2.5. That bettor left quite satisfied, banking a $100,000 win ($210,000 total payout), while the $220,000 Ravens wager went begging.
Other notable big bets from Week 1:
$250,000 Vikings moneyline -125 vs. Giants. Minnesota rolled 28-6, so the Caesars Sports bettor profited a healthy $200,000 ($450,000 total payout).$135,000 Texans -2.5 vs. Colts (Caesars). Houston narrowly won 29-27, failing to cover.$110,000 Packers +2.5 vs. Eagles (South Point). Green Bay falls short 34-29.$55,000 Packers-Eagles Over 49 (South Point). The total easily cleared 49, so the bettor profited $50,000 ($105,000 total payout).
Then there were these two monsters from the same bettor at Caesars Sports. Both bets cashed on the final play of the Jaguars-Dolphins game.
The wager on Dolphins -2.5 (-151)…
