    Interesting facts: Largest known placed bet

    The largest known bet placed on the Super Bowl was made by an unknown gambler at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas. The gambler put $2.4 million on San Francisco beating San Diego in Super Bowl XXIX. The 49ers won the gambler $300,000.


    Also, according to Guinness World Records, the highest odds for an accumulator bet were 3,072,887 to 1 by an unnamed woman from Nottingham on 2 May 1995.

    either that guy has a crazy bankroll, or sucks at money management

    also they dont say if that woman actually won the 3 mil to 1 parlay or not, even if she had 30 cents on it she'd still pocket a mil

    yeah I guess it would be cool to know what was on that parlay and if it won or not

    imagine she had one leg left and everyone on sbr was telling her hedging is -EV so she let it ride and lost
