All Hail Caesars
On Tuesday morning, after a flurry of news about how all the early action was on the Kansas City Chiefs, it was the San Francisco 49ers taking the first truly major wager.
Caesars Sports reported that a customer in Michigan put $1 million on 49ers moneyline -120. It's the first reported seven-figure wager in the Super Bowl LVIII odds market.
If the 49ers beat the Chiefs, the bettor will profit $833,333.33, for a total payout of $1,833,333.33.
But that’s not all for this high-rolling bettor. Caesars Sports confirmed that the same customer also made a $200,000 bet on 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy +240 to win the MVP award. And the bettor put $100,000 on tails -105 for the coin toss.
Should Purdy be named MVP, that bet would profit $480,000, for a total payout of $680,000. And if the coin toss comes up tails, the customer would profit $95,238.
Total it all up, and the big bettor is in for $1.3 million in Super Bowl wagers so far, with potential profit of $1,408,571.33, for a total payout of $2,708,571.33.
