In addition to that, when the Chargers were up 27-0, the chance of us winning that game was supposedly 1.5%.  The payoff he bet on, $11,200 divided by $1,400,000 equals .8%.  That bet is a total ripoff.

One thing I've noticed, from talking to people who like to bet on sports, is that they think they are a lot smarter than they actually are.
I've read from a few places that this bet is totally fake and just used to drum up attention.

Makes sense.

What would be the motivation to do that?  This doesn't sound like the kind of thing BETMGM, or whoever it was, would want to publicize.
