A ‘Mitch Trubisky for MVP’ bet got too rich for Las Vegas: ‘Is everybody drinking, like, Soldier Field water or something?’

Mitch Trubisky isn’t the favorite to win the NFL Most Valuable Player Award, but he’s the most popular pick among bettors in Las Vegas.

Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has sold more tickets on Trubisky winning the 2019 MVP, initially at 200-1 odds, than any of his NFL peers, according to Jay Kornegay, vice president of race and sports book operations.

Westgate has taken so many Trubisky tickets in the last two weeks that it moved the line to 50-1. The small wagers — between $20 and $100 — typically indicate bets made by fans, most likely Bears fans, Kornegay said.
