Week one of the NFL season is in the books, and for the first time in US history, legal sportsbooks took action on the games in more than a dozen states across the country.<\/p>\n

Oddsmakers told ESPN <\/i>that Sunday was a “decent day,” as the house came out on top on what was a busy kickoff to the most popular betting season in America. However, some bettors fared quite well in week one.<\/p>\n

The most notable win came on a $30,000 wager placed at the PointsBet book in New Jersey. The sports betting operator features a twist on how its NFL gambling works, allowing bettors to win (and lose) 1x their bet per point away from the spread.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this case, the bettor risked $30,000 on the Ravens spotting the Dolphins six points. The maximum win\/loss was set at a whopping $600,000. With Baltimore defeating the lowly Dolphins 59-10, the PointsBet wager was multiplied by 43 for a total haul of $1,290,000. But because the max win\/loss was $600,000, the bettor takes home that amount. Not bad for a Sunday.<\/p>\n

Week One Wins<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Ravens delivered sportsbooks a loss on Sunday, as casinos reported lopsided action on Baltimore. Caesars said 93.7 percent of the money it took on the game was on the favorite.<\/p>\n

\n

A Philadelphia fanatic wagered $45,000 at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas<\/a> on the Eagles beating the Washington Redskins straight up on -450 odds. The bet \u2013 which didn’t look good early on, as the Eagles trailed 17-0, net $10,000 after Philly managed to come back and win, 32-27.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

DraftKings took a $100,000 mobile wager in New Jersey on the Indianapolis Colts (+6.5) and Jacksonville Jaguars (+3.5). The Colts covered in overtime 30-24, but the Jags failed to cover in their 40-26 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

PointsBet offset some of its $600,000 loss after the Buffalo Bills topped the home team New York Jets, 17-16.<\/p>\n

Browns Bust<\/b><\/h2>\n

The hype surrounding the Cleveland Browns was massive entering the 2019-20 season. Hopes are high for the team that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2002.<\/p>\n

The hype was short-lived.<\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota tossed three touchdown passes in his team’s 43-13 rout of the Browns. Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield was picked off three times in the final 15 minutes in what was a dismal opening week showing.<\/p>\n

\n

Everybody is going to throw this in the trash,” Mayfield said of the loss. “I think that is good. I know what type of men we have in this locker room.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Quite frankly, I do not give a damn what happens on the outside. I know how we are going to react. I know what we are going to do. We are going to bounce back. We have a Monday night game coming up, so we do not really care. We are ready to go,” the second-year star said.<\/p>\n

The Browns \u2013 along with the Chicago Bears<\/a> \u2013 attracted the most Super Bowl action prior to week one at multiple sports books. Both teams began the season with a loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
