Kansas City is a -10,000 favorite at the Westgate to win the AFC West. That means a bettor must wager $10,000 to win $100, or $100 to win $1.
Three Las Vegas oddsmakers put Seattle’s Russell Wilson, Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers at the top of the list of most valuable quarterbacks.

Derek Stevens bet $110K to win $40K on Atlanta to beat Miami in the NL Division Series to hedge two bets that will pay $1M each if the Marlins win the NL and World Series.
The Las Vegas casino owner placed the wagers in July at the Westgate sportsbook: $5,000 to win the NL at 200-1 odds and $2,500 to win the World Series at 400-1.
