Bettor places $1.5M on Rams straight-up (won on $1M Eagles bet last year)

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Super Bowl 2019: Someone put a $1.5 million bet on the Rams to beat the Patriots

Cons: My high flying confidence about the game is gone

Pros: I’ve had trouble hating the Rams, and now all my hatred can be focused on this turd. Also I’ve said about 10 times I hate that all the money is on the Pats. This puts a huge dent in that.

I don’t believe it is “Bettor X” but it’s possible.

Unless this guy had inside info that Belichick was going to bury Butler last year he just got lucky on a bad bet.

And we still almost won

I don’t understand. How is a bettor going to affect the outcome of this game?

Because hopelessly rich people have never in history made stupid mistakes with their money!

I've looked him up. Just some poor chap who's lost 1.5m this weekend

I mean I can understand if the guy pays the refs under the table or something or has inside information but it shouldn't have an affect on the outcome of the game. Wasn't there some guy who bet big on the Falcons in SB51?

Well, he's pretty much playing with house money anyway.

Part of me always suspects that a lot of massive sports bets are just money laundering.

 

[jimnance]

Probably just pocket change for this guy.
Obviously a billionaire.
That's like one of us *ahem* regular folk throwin' down a couple g's on the Pats.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

If I were to throw down a mil or 2 on the pats straight up would it make some of you superstitious folks feel better?

I give him kudos for making a money line bet. More conviction than taking points.

It doesn’t. It suggests someone is that confident in the game.

If you were to just throw that 2 mill MY way, it'd make ME feel better.

 

[jimnance]

It doesn’t. It suggests someone is that confident in the game.

So why would that have any affect on YOUR confidence?

 

[PatsWSB47]

I hope he looses

The sharps spent the opening days betting the Pats. The general public is who dumps money into it at the end.

Lol...no I think people misunderstand why I say this hurts my mojo. Heavy betting against the Pats, especially from the sharps on 42, 46, and 52. Of course it won’t effect the outcome or the game and doesn’t mean there is anything like a guarantee. It’s just the person who - thus far - has been willing to put out the biggest bet, is picking the Rams. And I’m guessing a bet like this is pretty damn scrutinized.
