ESPN: Nevada Sportsbooks Lost $7-10M from Sunday's NFL Week 9 Action

Nevada sportsbooks reportedly lost between $7 million and $10 million during Sunday's Week 9 NFL games.

On Monday, David Purdum of ESPN.com reported it was "one of the betting public's best" days as three heavily wagered teams—the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers—all covered the point spread during Sunday's action.

"We were pretty much done at that point," MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood told Purdum about the Chiefs' 37-21 win over the Cleveland Browns as a eight-point favorite. "Disaster."

Purdum noted sportsbooks in Mississippi and New Jersey also reported Sunday losses.
