The Patriots aren’t a short-list favorite to win Super Bowl LVI. A big bet, however, has prompted BetMGM to change New England’s odds.
Via Sam Cooper of Yahoo Sports, a $10,000 wager on the Pats to get their fingerprints back on the Lombardi Trophy has caused BetMGM to shift the team’s odd from 30-1 (+3000) to +2500.
The five-figure bet would result in a $300,000 payout, if the Patriots pull it off.
The PointsBet sports book still has New England at +3000. At DraftKings, the Patriots are +3300.
Given the higher payout at DraftKings, whoever dropped 10 dimes on the Patriots should have placed the bet there instead.
