Super Bowl LVIII is less than two weeks away and it is very likely to be one of the most wagered-on events in sports history. One bettor is getting a head start by putting up a cool million dollars on the outcome.
According to Action Network, a bettor using the Caesars Sportsbook has placed $1 million on the San Francisco 49ers to beat the Kansas City Chiefs and win the Super Bowl. At -120 moneyline odds, the wager will pay out around $833,300 if the 49ers win the game.
It’s hardly the biggest wager we’ve seen on a Super Bowl though. Last year the iconic “Mattress Mack” wagered a whopping $9.5 million on the Eagles to win Super Bowl LVII.
Perhaps this gambler will have more luck.

With the odds so close heading into the Super Bowl we could see some even more outrageous bets than this one as people vie for a chance to double their money on a single play.
The last time these two teams faced off it was a memorable Super Bowl that wasn’t decided until the fourth quarter.
Super Bowl LVIII could easily wind up having a similar outcome.
Bet responsibly.
