And you thought you had a rough weekend...Sunday evening, it was reported that a confident bettor placed a $500,000 moneyline bet on the Seattle Seahawks over the San Francisco 49ers. Guys at MGM took a $500,000 money-line bet on the Seahawks to beat the 49ers straight-up, per @scottatmirage. Despite being a 3 point favorite in the first half, the Seahawks trailed the 49ers 13-17 at the break. In the NFL, overtime rules grant each team at least one possession so that the outcome is as fair as possible. The Seattle Seahawks can still clinch a playoff berth, and a win next week over the Kansas City Chiefs would guarantee them a Wild Card spot in the postseason.
