The Biggest Super Bowl 59 Bets: No $1M Bets With Kickoff Approaching

Each year, Covers tracks the largest wagers on the Super Bowl right up until game time. 

Bets are starting to roll in on Super Bowl Sunday, but we're still awaiting the first million-dollar bet on the Big Game.

While a number of five-figure prop bets have been placed today (Jalen Hurts to score 2+ TDs, Harrison Butker to make fewer than 1.5 field goals, etc.), the biggest bet was a $500,000 wager on the Philadelphia Eagles +1.5.

Last year's Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers drew five wagers of at least $1 million. That game was held in Las Vegas and drew record interest and audience.

This year's game between the Chiefs and Eagles seems to be lacking the same allure. The largest bet to date is of $800,000 on the Eagles.

And the man who placed the biggest bet last year, Drake, likely wants nothing to do with this year's game. Drake is currently on a concert tour in Australia (the aptly titled Anita Max Wynn Tour) while his nemesis Kendrick Lamar will be playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

With Drake likely out of the running, who will be this year's million-dollar bettor?

Biggest Super Bowl Bets

Biggest Prop Bets

Because it's the Super Bowl, bettors are looking to wager on anything that moves in and around the Big Game. Here are some of the biggest prop bets reported as well.

Feb. 7: Bettors flip for coin toss

The largest Super Bowl bet on the Chiefs has come in.

A bettor at BetMGM Nevada has placed $345,000 on the Chiefs' spread of -1, buying the half point at odds of -115, according to Todd Dewey of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

That wager ranks as the third-largest bet placed on Super Bowl LIX as of Friday afternoon.

To this point, prop bets are getting a good share of the attention from bettors.

ESPN BET received its largest bet yet on the coin flip, a $20,900 wager at even coin toss odds to land tails. The sportsbook also took a $7,500 wager on heads.

When it comes to splits, ESPN BET is seeing 61% of bets and handle on tails.

The coin toss is the most popular unique prop at Caesars and most bet prop at BetMGM. If only bettors had a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Super Bowl coin.

It's driving so much action at FanDuel that the sportsbook introduced coin toss same game parlays to allow bettors to combine wagers on the toss with other markets.

Feb. 5: Money moves

The six-figure wagers on Super Bowl LIX are starting to flow.

Mere days from the Big Game, BetMGM confirmed the $800,000 moneyline wager on the Eagles reported Tuesday and added that a $300,000 moneyline bet has been placed on the Chiefs at -130 odds.

ESPN BET has also shared that a $200,000 bet has come in on the Eagles moneyline at +105 odds.

There's no disputing the betting public is in full support of the Eagles, as illustrated in a BetMGM graphic.

Feb. 4: Fly Eagles Fly

As Super Bowl Week advances, the bet volume and bet sizes are increasing. And they all seem to be Eagles money.

As of Tuesday, the extent of Eagles support dropped the spread to +1 at some sportsbooks and put Philly at even money.

In fact, the biggest bet to date is on the Eagles moneyline. A customer at BetMGM bet $1.1 million on the Eagles, placing $800,000 on the moneyline at +110 odds, and $300,000 on the Eagles' first half line at +0.5, per sports betting reporter Ben Fawkes.

A DraftKings bettor placed $150,000 on the Philly moneyline, to win roughly the same amount.

However, the largest wager on the Chiefs to this point also came in on Tuesday, with a bettor placing $320,000 on the champs at -130 odds at BetMGM, according to Fawkes.

Jan. 31: A bet with legs

As we inch closer to Super Bowl Week, more and more wagers are coming in on the Big Game. In fact, the biggest bet to date was placed Thursday.

One bettor placed $110,000 on the total, believing the matchup between the Chiefs and Eagles will fall under the total of 49.5 points, according to Fawkes. Such a win would net $100,000.

The largest prop bet to this point comes with plenty of tentacles. One BetRivers customer bet $51,000 that an Octopus would not be scored in the Super Bowl, according to Fawkes. Placed at -3,335 odds, a winning result would net just $1,530 in winnings. 

An Octopus is when the player that scores a touchdown also scores the two-point conversion. In fact, an Octopus occurred in Super Bowl LVII between the Chiefs and Eagles when Philly quarterback Jalen Hurts scored on a two-yard run and added the two-point convert to tie the score at 35-35 with five minutes left in the game.

Jan. 30: Early action

Now that the dust has settled from Conference Championship weekend, big bets are starting to roll in on Super Bowl LIX.

Bettors are beginning to take sides on who will prevail when the Chiefs go for the three-peat against the Eagles on Feb. 9.

The three biggest Super Bowl side bets to date are each in the amount of $50,000, and two bettors are taking the underdog Eagles on the moneyline.

However, the largest wager – of public record – on the game thus far is $55,000 placed on under 49.5 total points scored. That bet was made at the South Point, as Jimmy Vaccaro pointed out on X.

Among the most popular prop bets thus far are the coin toss and color of Gatorade bath. Yet, the biggest prop bet is a $25,000 wager on Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce to win Super Bowl MVP.

Here are the biggest bets made on last year's Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
