Mahomes slide at the end of the game caused an $80 million dollar swing against KC bettors.

[MarathonMike]

Apparently over 90% of the money bet on the Chiefs-Jets game was for KC at -7.5. The estimates are around $80 million worth of KC bets went up in smoke on that slide. DOH!

It was the right move for sure, just pointing out an interesting side effect.

I thought it was a bit weird. If he just would had went in, they would had been up two scores, no way Jets could come back.

Why i dont gamble on shit like this. Casinos play their ads where they show winners walking around with their winnings, while they never show the many more people who lost their shirts. This new "pay 5, dollars get 200 dollars of free bets" crap, if you break even with 200 dollars, you wont be able to cash it out, and if you lose it all, and then get greedy to lose more, you will be again losing your shirt. Gambling is addictive, the odds are against you , because the house always has the advantage. Always look at the bottom of the screen and you will see the disclaimer "If you have a gambling addiction, seek professional help".

There are very few people who bet on sports and can say they are ahead. My nephew has hit several parlay bets for $5000 to $10000 each. He is WAAAAY in the hole.

You thought it was weird? I guess sportsmanship means nothing to you.

The Jets had no timeouts left, so the slide ended the game.

Maybe. But I think we all have to concede his slide was a smart play.

One of these days, not scoring is going to be a penalty. Can't be messing with the beating.

I always told my kids that there was a reason why those casinos were so large and opulent and they gave away food and drinks and it wasn't because a lot of people win big.

I know it's odd but if I had my way there would be no state sanctioned gambling of any kind.

Poker night with the boys type of stuff is one thing but the state should not be involved in gambling what-so-ever just for a cut.

The Native Americans can fuck-off back to the res.
