User posts that Will Levis is telling family and friends he’s going No. 1
How fragile is the NFL Draft betting market? Look no further than the Reddit post that sent shockwaves through the No. 1 overall pick market on Tuesday morning, just two short days prior to the start of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Reddit user “SaleAgreeable2834”, whose account is a whopping seven days old, posted in the r/sportsbook subreddit that “Will Levis is currently +4000 to be the first overall pick. Well ladies and gentleman [sic], he’s telling friends and family Carolina will in fact take him on Thursday. You’re welcome.”
Redditors, who have moved betting markets and stocks before, hopped on the news and a wave of betting action came in on Levis, even though Bryce Young was still the overwhelming odds-on favorite. Some sportsbooks even took the odds down briefly to account for the developments.
