Bettors who were on a sportsbook's prop wager of every NFL team making a FG during the first three time slots cashed in big. Patrick Everson examines the weekend betting market.
Week 2 odds market was more of a tug of war between the oddsmakers and bettors. And there was one massive win for those of us on this side of the counter.Let's dive into the weekend that was in football betting.FanDuel offers an NFL prop on every team in the 1 p.m/4:05 p.m./4:25 p.m. Sunday games making at least one field goal. It seems like such a prop would hit regularly, but apparently not.
However, in Week 2, all 26 teams playing games in those time slots kicked at least one field goal. FanDuel's odds on that prop hitting were 200-1 . The result was a striking $20 million windfall in favor of all the bettors who got down on that market. Even if you just took a $5 flier, you would've profited $1,000.
