Imagine this: the underdog is priced at odds of +6600, and you, a bookmaker, now see an errant bet on your screen. Someone has just wagered $50,000 on the team to win, but you know for a fact that the odds are incredibly slim, so you take their action.
An Early Bird Wager on the Chicago Bears Could Fetch Millions – Bookies Skeptical
Only three games now remain for the Chicago Bears to make the punter a very rich man (or woman) indeed. The Bears have been on a tear, smashing their way out of the Wild Card Round in a closely contested game with the Green Bay Packers, and they are now in the playoffs.
The Bears’ next game is set for Sunday, January 18, when they will go up against the Los Angeles Rams and contest the NFC bracket, before heading into the final against either the San Francisco 49ers or the Seattle Seahawks, and possibly make it to the final – the Super Bowl.
Surprisingly, though, the odds aren’t too much in favor of the Bears still, with multiple websites ranking them between the 5-7 spot for the time being, in terms of how likely they are to actually carry the action to the top, let alone win the Super Bowl.
