The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 Sunday night to win Super Bowl LIV and one of poker’s most legendary players wagered a hefty sum on the wrong side.
10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Doyle Brunson tweeted before the game started that he had bet $175,000 on the 49ers to win.
Lines varied slightly depending on location and when the bet was placed, but just before kickoff, the 49ers were 1-point dogs and +100 on the money-line. Brunson didn’t clarify whether he took the points or the money-line, but both wound up losing.

Before disclosing the amount that he bet, the 86-year-old professional poker player said that he has bet on every Super Bowl that was ever played. His smallest bet was $20,000 and his largest bet was $200,000.
I've bet every Super Bowl ever played. My smallest bet was 20k. My biggest bet was 200k. I usually bet the underdog, including this year. Go 49er's.

Last night’s game was the 52nd Super Bowl in league history, meaning that in his lifetime, Brunson wagered somewhere between $1.04 million and $10.4 million on the big game. In response to a question from a follower, Brunson said that he bet $200,000 on the 1985 Chicago Bears to win the Super Bowl. Mike Ditka’s Bears beat the New England Patriots 46-10.
The American Gaming Association estimated that 26 million Americans would wager a combined $6.8 billion on the game. The poker world seems to have contributed their fair share to those pre-game estimates.

Aside from Brunson’s loss, former high-stakes poker pro Jason Mo tweeted that he took sizable losses of his own. Mo, who finished runner-up in the 2014 WSOP $25,000 no-limit hold’em mixed max and the 2012 WSOP $10,000 heads-up no-limit hold’em championship, claimed he lost $50,000 in prop bets before the kickoff.

Later in the night, Mo and gamblers around the country took a bad beat on one of the most commonly-bet props of the game. With less than a minute left and the game sealed, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Maholmes had already amassed 44 rushing yards. The line for the over/under was anywhere between 27.5 and 36.5 depending on when the bet was placed.
Maholmes took a knee on three straight plays, including one where he ran backward nearly a dozen yards before kneeling down to let more time run off the clock. Those three plays trimmed 15 yards off Maholmes’ rushing total and he finished the game with 29 yards, which cost Mo an undisclosed amount.
Just realize I lost mahomes over rushing despite covering by 10 yards before the kneel downs

ESPN Chalk is reporting that the last-second change to his statistics gave the sportsbooks a big win. Online sportsbook PointsBet said that it accepted twice as much money on the over and William Hill claimed 75 percent of the bets it accepted were on the over.
“That was close to a six-figure swing [in favor of the house],” Jeff Davis, director of trading for Caesars Sportsbook told ESPN.

Small and Large stacks are far more likely to call your big bets (though for different reasons) so caution should be exercised with them.

Planet Mark's Rec:You can get a built in advantage in poker games by seeking out the softest fields - avoiding the sites where a lot of 'pro grinders' play, and playing at recreational sites instead. I strongly recommend you check out the tables at 888 Poker. This is now the 2nd biggest site online, and has a distinctly recreational feel.
