The NBA and NHL playoffs are currently taking place, and the first month of the MLB season has gone by. However, amid all this, NFL Draft odds have dominated conversations in the sports betting realm.
Particularly, the focus has been on bets tied to Shedeur Sanders, the Colorado quarterback, regarding which team will select him.
Cleveland Comes Calling
The Cleveland Browns were touted as one of the frontrunners for Sanders leading up to the draft, alongside the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, as the first round commenced, Sanders was not drafted, nor was he called in the subsequent rounds.
By the fourth round, betting odds shifted, making Cleveland a less likely landing spot for Sanders, with the Steelers and the Las Vegas Raiders emerging as the favorites.
For those who took a risk with a bet on the Browns at +3000, congratulations! Cleveland eventually selected him as their sixth pick in the fifth round, 144th overall, providing a hefty payout for those who placed their bets wisely.
A $100 wager on Sanders going to the Browns could have resulted in a $3,000 profit if placed before round four.
If you missed out on that bet, there are still opportunities, as FanDuel Sportsbook has opened the betting on Sanders at +4000 for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Feeling The Draft
In other betting highlights, Miami’s QB Cam Ward went first overall, with heavy odds placed on him to achieve that. Remarkably, one bettor put $1 on Ward going No. 1, yielding a profit of one cent.
A Caesars Sports bettor also took a chance on a live 13-leg parlay, which astonishingly all succeeded, netting over $13,000.
Keep in mind, while high-roller gamblers can absorb these stakes, be responsible and bet only what you can afford to lose!
