Doyle Brunson Loses $175,000 On Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 Sunday night to win Super Bowl LIV and one of poker’s most legendary players wagered a hefty sum on the wrong side.
10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Doyle Brunson tweeted before the game started that he had bet $175,000 on the 49ers to win.
Lines varied slightly depending on location and when the bet was placed, but just before kickoff, the 49ers were 1-point dogs and +100 on the money-line. Brunson didn’t clarify whether he took the points or the money-line, but both wound up losing.
Before disclosing the amount that he bet, the 86-year-old professional poker player said that he has bet on every Super Bowl that was ever played. His smallest bet was $20,000 and his largest bet was $200,000.
