A gutsy sports bettor lost out on a whopping $2 million in the first half alone of the Buffalo Bills’ Monday night home game against the Denver Broncos.
Per Ben Fawkes, a Florida resident placed two separate $1 million wagers through the Hard Rock Bet sportsbook. The bettor placed $1 million on the Bills to cover the -1.5 line (-196 odds) and another $1 million for them to cover the -4.5 line at (-120) in the first half.
The Broncos carried a 15-8 lead into halftime, thanks to a dominant effort by the defense that produced three turnovers.
Good for the Broncos and Hard Rock Bet. Bad for the customer who wagered $2 million on just one half of football.
