The Los Angeles Chargers' collapse against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday evening will go down as one of the biggest of all time. It's not biggest, but it's officially on the short list. It's also another sign that there is no such thing as a sure thing in sports betting.
When the Chargers took a 27-0 lead late in the fourth quarter, a sports bettor placed a $1.4 million bet at DraftKings Sportsbook on them to win the game. The in-game moneyline bet would have netted the person $11,200. Instead, it cost them the $1.4 million.
