You can do a lot of things with $4,000.
Build some savings, do a little home remodeling, maybe invest in some cryptocurrency, or throw it into the stock market.
Or… you can bet $4,000 on the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl 56. That’s exactly what one ambitious BetMGM user recently did.
A @BetMGM customer has wagered $4K to win $500K on @Eagles +12500 to win the Super Bowl.
Eagles have received 1.2% of tickets, 0.6% of handle.

Not sure this would be my play, but you can’t argue with that kind of return on investment.
Of course, that’s a lot of faith to put behind a rookie head coach, a second-year quarterback, and a team with one functional cornerback, but I still like it. All veteran gamblers know it’s wise to bet against the market. Savvy.
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for ’em.
