so who has thrown a few scheckles on the game today???

[flypaper]

If I didn't, I probably wouldn't bother to watch it
and I'm with better x

A legendary Vegas bettor is back — and he’s going heavy on the Rams.

The Action Network has confirmed that “Bettor X” placed three moneyline bets totaling $3.8 million on Los Angeles to beat the Patriots in Super Bowl 53:

• $2 million bet at MGM
• $1.5 million bet at William Hill
• $300,000 bet at South Point

The wagers themselves were first reported by ViSN and RotoGrinders, while ESPN’s David Purdum first reported the “Bettor X” connection.

If the Rams win, “Bettor X” would net $4.56 million (all of the wagers were made at +120 odds).

“Bettor X” took sportsbooks for a ride two years ago in the World Series. His bets on the Astros and the Dodgers at the right times paid off to net him a reported $10 million.

Then, “Bettor X,” who was described as being in his 30s having had a specialty in UFC betting, placed $8-10 million on the Eagles moneyline last year worth around $15 million, according to Purdum.
Indeed, he has put the fear into Las Vegas bookmakers, but obviously not enough to halt his betting.

While the Patriots are the majority of the spread tickets, they aren’t getting the big bets.

As a point of comparison, the South Point said it took a $220,000 bet on Saturday on the Patriots moneyline that would net $110,000.

What game?

 

[BeeKool]

Rams by all means should win this game so long as they keep doing what they have been.


Tom Brady isnt why the Pats are in this game; Kansas City's poor play calling on offense is what got NE here.

Nooooo... I’m pretty sure it was an inept KC defense that got The Pats in the game.

I don't watch or care about football at all. My neighbor has a Superbowl party every year though, so I go to socialize with my friends. I make a grid pool for $1 a box and you have to buy either 5 or 10 boxes. So I will have big bucks riding on this game, $10 !!!!!! LOL. And since it's all random in a grid pool, I don't give a crap who wins.

Anybody do that online betting ? It's legal in NJ, seems like an easier way to lose money to me.

I'm 20 min down the road
From the book
been tempted to throw it on the phone but I haven't yet.
I can't complain as I'm way up from where I started but I don't get greedy either.
College is what I have done my most damage on.
I have even bought a few nice parts from it
I even have a few on the Daytona 500
But after that
I'm mostly done unless I see something interesting tIL next year

at least I hit on the under to mitigate some of the loss
but what a disappointing game , commercials and halftime.. a hat trick

Bettor X Bet On The Wrong Team Today

 

[Cranky]

I watched the game....first game to watch 100% but no 1/2 time etc. A buddy brought over a pizza.....and is divorced too and well laughed at some of the plays. Didn't have any money on it but was for the Pats. Best thing is that my new rescue (July) spent the time sleeping in my shirt and we haven't done that in a couple of weeks or more so that was a good thing.

 

[oldbee]

Was at the in-laws & my nephew had a bet, somewhere, on the coin toss. Tails won him $10!

 

[Wojo68]

How’d that work out for Bettor X? I learned yrs ago that I sucked at gambling. Good thing too,, I didn’t think they’d get past the Chargers.

 

[Kern Dog]

I rarely watch the game and today's game justified my history of skipping it. Holeeee CRAP that was a BOREfest.

 

[GetX'd]

I never miss one - I’m a footballaholic and that was the worst SB I’ve ever seen. Not just because my team lost - it was just a lousy game. I skipped a SB party so I could watch and concentrate on the game. Now I wish I’d gone to the party.

It was funny as hell watching Goodell get booed and as soon as it was Kraft's turn, the boos turned into cheers.

You don’t bet against Tom Brady, ya just don’t do it. When the falcons and pats played a couple years ago I made a half time bet with a friend that the pats would win, it was 21-3 or 28-3 falcons at this point. Easy $50 for me lol

 

[GetX'd]

Bump!

Curious why you bumped this old super bowl thread for?

 

[Hey-O]

Should we boycott sports because they exploit blacks for others enjoyment.
