Sunday’s results were relatively unexpected in Las Vegas, with the Bengals pulling off an upset win over the Chiefs while the Rams beat the 49ers but did not cover the 3.5-point spread. But one bettor was right on the money in his picks for the AFC and NFC championship games.
An online bettor won $579,000 by correctly guessing the exact scores of the Bengals’ 27–24 win and the Rams’ 20–17 win, raking in the cash following a simple $20 bet. And even better for the gambler in question, the original payment was part of a free credit.
