A bettor’s evening didn’t go as planned after he decided to bet $300,000 on the New York Giants taking on the Las Vegas Raiders.
According to the New York Post newspaper, this big bet was made on online sports betting site BetMGM Sportsbook. The Nevada team was the favorite and won the match by 1.5 points.

Result? A complete disaster. In their Week 9 meeting, the Giants were outscored 30-6 and lost center Daniel Jones on the first play of the second quarter. It was also confirmed that he will miss the rest of the season due to a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Worse and worse
The performance of substitute Tommy Devito, who threw two interceptions in a row and gave his opponents a comfortable lead, finally put an end to the player’s hopes of getting his money back.
So it was a winning start for Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce in his first term. In addition to coach Josh McDaniels, the team also fired its general manager David Ziegler last Tuesday.
At 2:7, the chances that New York can secure an early pick in the upcoming NFL Draft increase. The NFL regular season still has nine weeks left. The Giants will be sidelined in Week 13.
Their next game will be against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Texas. They had crushed them 40-0 in the first game of the campaign.
