The Wildest Super Bowl Bets Still on the Board
From a $100K coin toss wager to a $3.75M Seahawks futures position to $1,000 on each kicker winning MVP, these are the most absurd Super Bowl LX bets on record.
By Sharp Money Mike
Tomorrow is Super Bowl LX, and the bets that have been placed are absolutely unhinged. We're talking $100,000 on a coin flip. Multiple seven-figure wagers. A guy who put a grand on each kicker to win MVP at odds that would make your mortgage look like pocket change. This is the most bet-on single game in American sports history, and the action proves it. Let's run through the wildest wagers still sitting at the window.
The Quick Hit
- What happened: Super Bowl LX has attracted the craziest collection of bets in gambling history
- The damage: Five bets of $1 million or more, $100K on the coin toss, $161M traded on Kalshi alone
- Why you should care: Because these bets range from genius-level hedging to pure insanity, and you'll want to know who to root for
- The move: Read these, feel better about your $50 prop parlay, and then go place more bets
$100,000 on Tails
An Iowa bettor walked into Caesars and dropped $100,000 on the Super Bowl coin toss. Tails. At -103 odds. That's a potential profit of about $97,000 on a literal coin flip.
The coin toss is already the 8th most-bet market for Super Bowl LX, drawing more volume than most individual player props. But while most of that action is in $5 and $10 increments from casual bettors, this person just casually wagered six figures on whether a piece of metal lands on one side or the other. No edge. No analysis. No information advantage. Just pure, crystallized degen energy.
Tails leads the all-time Super Bowl coin toss series 30-29, if that matters to you. It shouldn't. But it probably does.
The $3.75 Million Circa Position
The most sophisticated bet on the board belongs to a Circa Sports bettor who built a $3.75 million position on the Seahawks through futures bets placed throughout the season. They then hedged with a $1.1 million bet on the Patriots moneyline at +188.
This is the kind of move that separates professionals from the rest of us. If the Seahawks win, the futures pay out massive. If the Patriots pull the upset, the $1.1 million hedge returns over $2 million. Either way, this person walks away a winner. The only question is how much they win.
While we're all picking between heads and tails, this person has a guaranteed seven-figure payday regardless of the outcome. That's not gambling—that's portfolio management with a football game attached.
Drake's Million on the Patriots
Drake bet $1 million on the Patriots. Given his well-documented history of cursing every team he bets on, Seahawks bettors should be thrilled. The "Drake Curse" is undefeated in the minds of superstitious gamblers everywhere, and a million-dollar Pats bet might be the best news Seattle fans have gotten all week.
The Kicker MVP Gambler
Someone placed $1,000 on EACH kicker to win Super Bowl MVP. One at 100/1, one at 300/1. That's $2,000 in total investment for a potential payout of either $100,000 or $300,000.
A kicker winning MVP sounds insane until you remember that it's almost happened before. A game that goes to overtime with multiple clutch field goals could absolutely produce a kicker MVP. At those odds, the math isn't even terrible. It's a low-probability, high-reward play that actually makes sense—which is the most dangerous kind of bet because it tricks you into thinking you're being smart.
The Million-Dollar Charity Bet
A Florida attorney named Dan Newlin dropped $1 million on the Seahawks moneyline at -230, with all winnings going to pediatric cancer research at Nemours Children's Hospital. If Seattle wins, the hospital gets roughly $435,000. If they lose, Newlin is out a million bucks for a good cause.
That's five total bets of $1 million or more that have been publicly reported. Five. On one game. We've fully lost our collective minds, and it's beautiful.
The Bottom Line
The wildest Super Bowl bets of all time are locked in. $100K on a coin flip. $3.75M in hedged futures. $1,000 on a kicker winning MVP. Drake being Drake. And a guaranteed seven-figure charity donation riding on the outcome. Tomorrow, all of this resolves. Every one of these wagers becomes either a legendary win or an expensive lesson. That's the whole point of being a degenerate—putting it on the line when the stakes are at their absolute highest.
