The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX following a convincing defensive display against the New England Patriots. The result led to big payouts for some and significant losses for others.
The Drake curse continues, after the rapper’s $1m bet on the Patriots was unsuccessful. Many of his high-profile wagers over the past year have lost, including a $1m wager in the NHL playoffs, an $800,000 stake on the NBA Finals, and $200,000 on Jake Paul beating Anthony Joshua in a boxing match.

Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale’s $2m bet on the Patriots was also a loser. As such, none of his furniture store customers in Texas will get any refunds through his recurring promotion.
Others fared a bit better with their Super Bowl LX wagers. One person bet $50,000 at +6000 during the pre-season on the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl. This netted them $3m, in addition to the $1.4m they won after the team won the NFC Championship.
NBA star Devin Booker had a $1m wager on the Seahawks to cover the 3.5-point spread, which made him an $800,000 profit. A Florida attorney’s $1m wager on the Seahawks moneyline yielded $434,782 in winnings, which he plans to donate to a children’s cancer hospital.
Finally, one of the more bizarre winning wagers was a person placing $253,000 in cash on the coin toss being heads, which won them $245,631 in profit.
