Reply to comment by HandHoldingClub in The Jaguars 27-point comeback against the Chargers on Saturday night is the largest comeback in NFL history for a team that didn't force a single turnover. The Chargers won the turnover battle 5-0. by B0rtles

What if you had bet 1k on the Jags at that point

Had a buddy who bet on the Jags to win at that point (very small amount). Payout was about 17x, so a $1k bet would have profited about $17,000

Those are atrocious odds. If they were really that bad that is almost scam level.

Vegas is aware of the Chargers history. If every fan knew at half time that they were very much in danger, so did the bookies.

People are thinking the bet was made at 27-0 when it was actually 27-7. A 20 point comeback in the 2nd half isn’t that bad.

They were around 50/1, it's possible that someone was offering 17x but it was silly to take it

So I had bet on the Jags before the game, got like +110 or something and I genuinely tried to live bet and double down when they were down 27-0 but my book wasn't offering a line sadly

$120k maybe?? Odds would have to be like -12000 for the guy to only make 11k off 1.4 mill bet 🤦

When a game is that one sided the bookie usually takes an entire 0 off the odds as their commission. For example you would get -10000 on the winning team but only +1000 on the losing team
