26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Seahawks' stunning loss to 49ers reportedly cost one sports bettor more than $500,000 What happens in Vegas usually stays in Vegas, unless, of course, you lose more than $500,000 betting on the Seahawks, then it will probably leak out. The Seahawks' shocking overtime loss to the 49ers on Sunday didn't just keep Seattle from clinching a playoff berth, it also cost one guy some serious money. According to ESPN.com, a bettor at MGM in Vegas was so confident that the Seahawks would win in San Francisco that he placed two money-line bets on Seattle and those bets were worth a total of $569,000. The first bet came in at $235,000 and with Seattle's money-line at -230, the bet would have paid out $102,225 if the Seahawks had won ($337,225). The second bet was worth $334,000 and would have paid out $133,600 in winnings ($467,600 total) on a Seattle money-line that was at -250. In the end, the bets paid out nothing, because the Seahawks lost 26-23. The bettor obviously seemed confident in Seattle and there's a good reason for that: Going into Sunday, the Seahawks had won nine regular-season games in a row against the 49ers AND they were playing for a chance to clinch a playoff berth.

HappyDays Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I bet on the Patriots literally for the first time ever yesterday. I had them +7 as part of a teaser where a push lost and I nailed my other picks. Everyone was wondering how the Steelers managed to beat the Patriots by a TD, little do they know it's because I had good money riding on the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. ANYONE who really follows football, let alone keeps an eye on the Seahawks, would never make that bet. Seahawks have the ability to beat anyone...and lose to anyone...at any given time this year. Moneyline bet or not, it was a stupid bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for him, but no way you lay 13 in pretty much any game at this point in the season. In spite of the whiners, the Bills are playing hard and the Pats* are half the team they used to be. Granted, I would stay away from the game, altogether, but Pats* -13 is a crappy bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
