Prop Bet Typo in Browns vs. Chiefs Playoff Game Cost BetMGM $10.5K

Turns out, betting on Patrick Mahomes to throw for at least one yard in a playoff game is about as easy a bet as sports gamblers can hope for.

As the Associated Press (h/t ESPN) explained, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined BetMGM.com $500 for a typographical error it made during the AFC Divisional Round game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns.

BetMGM planned on offering a prop bet on whether Mahomes and Baker Mayfield would each throw for 300 or more yards in the game, but it did not include the three because of a manual error.
