A bettor lost $1.4 million betting on the Chargers midgame

The Jacksonville Jaguars say they always believed they had a chance at coming back from a 27-point deficit to win Saturday night. One bettor didn’t and paid a hefty price for it.

According to Darren Rovell of Action Network, a bettor put $1.4 million on the Los Angeles Chargers to win after the team took a 27-0 lead in the second quarter. The Chargers were -12500 at the time, meaning the bettor aimed to win just $11,200 with the bet.

The massive risk for a relatively small reward blew up in the bettor’s face.

Jacksonville outscored the Chargers 31-3 in the remainder of the game, sealing their comeback with a field goal as time expired.

Other big losers Saturday were a couple of bettors who put six figures on the total to be under 47.5 points.

The winners Saturday were the brave folks who put some money on the Jaguars in the second quarter. Even at halftime, with Jacksonville trailing by 20, the team was +1200 to win on most sportsbooks.
