The odds for the Tigers to win are +170, and if they win the game, McInville will be able to net $7.7 million. "I had to make 20 $200,000 bets to get it done. But I want to thank Caesar for accepting it. ”

Caesar is a very well-known sports betting company, but 4.5 million is also the second most popular Super Bowl bet of their all-time history, after the 53rd Super Bowl Rams against the Patriots, which had a bet of $4.9 million. Ken Fox, the company's head of sports, said: "Joe Burrow's charisma is attracting fans, especially louisiana, where he was in college. ”

But McInville's heavy bets on the competition can also help his furniture sales business, and he bet about $13 million on the Houston Astros at the MLB World Series last year, and proposed that if someone bought more than 3,000 yuan of furniture from him, he would provide a refund. This time, he repeated this operation, in fact, it is also attracting attention to drive his own furniture sales.

McInwell's bets were won and lost, and he spent $3.46 million on the Pirates at the Super Bowl last season, when the Pirates were in a doggy posture with 3.5 points, but in the end they won 31-9 against the Chiefs. But he lost $4.7 million in January, and in the NCAAF National Championship, he first spent $2.7 million on the University of Alabama, which won the game; then he spent $2 million to bet that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl, and the money was lost as the Wild Card Patriots were beaten out by Bill.
