    Will Vegas take a Million Dollar bet on the Superbowl?

    I just saw a video of Birdman (Lil Waynes dad) say he bet a million on the Packers and It made me wonder whats the most someone can bet on the superbowl in Vegas? Anyone know?

    I'm sure he could get that much down by using multiple places but I don't think one individual shop would.
    I also wonder about this.

    Not so sure about that. I'm thinking that some casino would book the wager. Didn't a casino take a $1 million bet on a single hand of blackjack many years ago?

    I'm sure quite a few books in town would. Any word on how much Charles Barkley is betting? Will he mail back all of his winnings on Auburn (if he hasn't already)?

    Million bet on the super bowl and more numerous times, not sure what the highest bet accepted would be, but even if they didn t accept it for lets say 5 million, you could find 5 places that take million and spread it across the board

    I heard Charles Barkley say on TNT that he likes Green Bay. He probably has money on them, but we don't know how much. I know people have wagered at least $1 million on the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. You probably can't wager much more than that. The Sportsbooks fear the big money that can really hurt them. They would rather take wagers from nickel and dime players who don't know what they're doing.

    yes...they will. Bookmaker took a $500.000 bet on tha last year SB...so I don't see Vegas not taking $1mil. A big Casino in Vegas is making around half a billion a year...$1 million is nothing to them...I bet they will send a private jet to pick you up, give you the best hotel suite and all kinds of free stuff.

    The bottom line for any property is balanced action and volume. 10% juice is pure profit if managed correctly. There only worries are getting middled with line moves. No doubt the larger properties have and will take that action.

    I would bet up to 100,000 on Green Bay. They are the play this year.

    And yes....Birdman is NOT Lil Wayne's dad.

    You would have to assume that over the years someone has bet more then a million dollars in a casino on a sports game.

    What's bullshit about it? I didn't say I knew anyone personally who wagered $1 million on a game. I said I've heard of people wagering that much. Read my post more clearly!

    Ivey had $2M on a Lakers/Utah game and Bellagio flew him out and got him front court. Lakers won, didn't cover, but produced the greatest image in sportsbetting history.

    Hard to believe, even harder to believe the Packers are favored, this is one of the weirdest SBs ever. Rodgers will choke and Big Ben will beat the Packers and rape their cheerleaders after the game
