BetMGM said that they had a struggling start to the game. And then combine that with the Bengals covering the spread, and FanDuel paid out, as I said, $55 million for just those two bets alone. And so they paid out over $30 million for that bet. So FanDuel had a promotional bent that was giving bettors 56 to 1 odds, which if you're familiar with gambling, is pretty favorable. Some other numbers we've learned, FanDuel paid out $55 million total off just two bets. And I suspect we're going to get more and more as the week comes on. So information has kind of slowly been trickling out. A lot of these sports gaming companies have earnings coming up, so they're not necessarily willing to share all of their information and aren't supposed to share all their information just yet. And so that's about half of what DraftKings had for a total handle in New York over a three-week period, so we can see how big that Super Bowl was.Īnd that number doesn't even include the bets that lost that DraftKings kept. So some of the big numbers we've heard thus far, DraftKings confirmed to Yahoo Finance that they paid out more than $175 million in bets yesterday on yesterday's game.
