    Think you had a bad day betting?

    MGM reported taking an $180,000 money-line bet on the Rams to beat the underdog Eagles at -900 odds. The bettor would have won a net $20,000, but Philadelphia pulled the upset, knocking off the Rams 30-23 and it wasn't even the largest money-line bet MGM took last week.

    A bettor at MGM placed two money-line bets totaling $569,000 on the Seattle Seahawks. According to MGM sportsbook supervisor Scott Shelton, the first bet was for $235,000 at -230 odds. The book bumped up the price to -250 and then took another $334,000 on the Seahawks from the bettor. The 49ers won 26-23 in overtime.

    bettor placed a $200,000 money-line bet on the favored Chiefs at -200 odds. The bet would have paid $100,000, but the Chargers rallied from a 14-point deficit in the final four minutes and won 29-28 on a two-point conversion with four seconds to play.
    The 49ers' upset of the Seahawks produced the largest win of the season on a single game for MGM.
