Eagles only 20-1 to win Super Bowl, a $150,000 parlay that almost was
Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology initially listed the Eagles’ season win total at 7.5, but took so much money on the under that the book was forced to cut the number down to 6.5 with inflated juice on the under. Nearly 90 percent of the money bet on the Eagles’ season win total was […]
