The New England Patriots' 38-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night cost them a chance to avoid their first losing season in two decades. But it cost one sports bettor a whole lot more.

According to the BetMGM sportsbook, someone in Las Vegas placed two wagers on the Patriots that totaled US$700,000 in value: a $500,000 bet on the Patriots to cover the seven-point spread, and a $200,000 bet on them to win the game straight up.

    I don't think Perkdog would bet such paltry sums of money.

    He tips waitresses more than that.

    The casino still lost money. 87% of wagers were on Buffalo Monday night.

    Hahaha wasn’t me, even if I had millions to bet I wouldn’t have trusted the Pats with that game. Buffalo is rolling and at the right time. I kinda figured there was a chance for the Bills to step on our necks as a little payback.

    One of my preseason notes was to take the under in Patriots games. I thought they’d struggle to score but never thought teams would score at will against them.
    Heard the announcers during the game talking about rebuilding and finding a QB which they hadn’t had to do for 20 years. Welcome to our world and 90% of the NFL every year!!
