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.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Ouch
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.
i agree with perkdog. there is no amount small enough i would bet in any way on the patriots this year. too unpredictable, and then there is Cam...
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
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!!
