The outcome of the Super Bowl was a nightmare not just for the New England Patriots and their fans, but also for most sportsbooks. There was so much money bet on the Philadelphia Eagles either via the point spread or the moneyline that most books were hoping for a Patriots win.
Of note, there were several huge seven-figure bets placed on the Eagles that gamblers were able to cash on.
William Hill sportsbook took a lost of over $4.6 million on three massive bets on the Eagles alone. 54 percent of their bettors were on the Eagles side of the spread, and 75 percent of moneyline bettors were on the Eagles and received favorable odds.
