Typo in betting line on Cleveland Browns-Kansas City Chiefs playoff game costs BetMGM $10,000

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Talk about a no-brainer!

A typographical error in a betting line on a Cleveland Browns-Kansas City Chiefs playoff game in January led to a $10,500 windfall for nine eagle-eyed bettors.

The error was revealed last week by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, which fined BetMGM.com $500 for failing to properly display the odds on a betting market.

It involved the Jan. 17 game, specifically a so-called proposition or "player prop" bet on the game performance of the two quarterbacks, Cleveland's Baker Mayfield and Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes.
