There are all kinds of awesome things surrounding Super Bowl odds and betting, from funky Super Bowl prop bets to a moving line to huge Super Bowl bets. While we’ll have plenty on Super Bowl LV prop bets and odds in the coming week, lets take a look at one of those large Super Bowl Bets.
And when we say large, we mean a humongous bet…
According to BetMGM Sportsbook, a Nevada sports bettor placed a $2.3 million bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +3.5.
Yes, two-point-three-million dollars! That’s a lot of faith in the Super Bowl underdog Tom Brady and the Bucs.
New to sports betting? If the Buccaneers outright beat the Kansas City Chiefs OR lose by three points or less, that $2.3 million wager will return a $2 million profit. You know, what most of us find under our couch cushions during spring cleaning.
Can you even imagine cashing a betting slip for $4.3 million?
BetMGM was happy to see the bet come in of course, especially since they’ve already received several six-figure bets on the Chiefs, according to Jason Scott, VP of Trading for BetMGM Sportsbook.

During the regular season, the Buccaneers were 9-7-0 against the spread (ATS) overall. They were 5-3 ATS at home. During the NFL Playoffs, the Bucs are 2-1 ATS, putting their full-season mark at 11-8.
The Buccaneers were 10-point favorites in the Wild Card Weekend vs. the Washington Football Team, but weren’t able to cover, winning 31-23. The Bucs were underdogs against the New Orleans Saints, where they won 30-20. They were also underdogs last weekend against the Green Bay Packers, a 31-26 Tampa Bay victory.
Other sizeable Super Bowl LV wagers at BetMGM include:
- $180,000 to win $100,000 on the Chiefs (-180)
- $115,000 to win $100,000 on the Chiefs at -3.5 (-115)
- $110,000 to win $100,000 on the Chiefs at -3.5 (-110)
Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going start a GoFundMe page to see if we can top that $2.3 million wager.
