It seemed obvious during the second quarter of Saturday night’s Chargers–Jaguars game that Los Angeles was on its way to a landslide victory. After all, the Chargers led 27-0 and seemed to have all the momentum in the world.
One bettor was especially confident in the Chargers to hang on and win the wild-card game, reportedly betting $1.4 million on an in-game money line through DraftKings Sportsbook. Because the Chargers led by 27 at the time, the payout only would’ve been $11,200—a mere 0.8% of the amount wagered.
The bet seemed safe, because as we mentioned earlier, the Chargers led by 27 points, and the bettor only needed them to win outright.
