Apparently some dude bet $3.1 million on the Eagles moneyline at -700 ods (will win about 400k). Be prepared for some shenanigans

[LinvilleGorge]

I mean, I expect the Eagles to win but putting up $3.1M for the chance to win $400k just seems dumb. Fluky poo happens. Turnovers or a key injury can completely change a game versus expectations going in.

This bet would've made a lot more sense early in the season. Panthers have all of a sudden become a tough out, which is enough to make betting against them a nervy affair.

[Jay Roosevelt]

If you have $3.1M you can afford to bet on a football game what difference is $400k going to make to you? Whoever that is deserves to lose their money.

poo ain’t worth it to me, but whatever

That profit to loss ratio is one of the dumber things I’ve seen.  Must be using tax payer money.

It was probably Tepper.

Definitely Tepper

Betting has ruined football.

I'm going to guess the person betting 3.1 mill on a ML like that probably considers that the same as poor people consider a penny ...

Like I said, I fully expect the Eagles to win but imagine you're holding that betting slip and then Jalen Hurts or Saquan Barkley blows his knee up on the second play of the game. This is football. That poo happens. Now you're like OH SHIIIIIIIIITTT!!! LOL

Whomever placed the bet is probably super wealthy, and looks at it like you and I might look at a $50 bet.

Well, looks like we're gonna definitely win
