Now up 23-22, the Falcons took a knee on a 2-point conversation to avoid a potential block. The play created a swing in moneyline wagers, along with some parlays and teasers. While officials initially ruled that Jones went down short of the end zone, they determined after a review that the All-Pro receiver maintained possession and broke the plain. Tackled at the 1, Jones reached for the goal line with one second remaining. On 3rd-and-Goal from the 5, Matt Ryan connected with Julio Jones on a crossing route across the middle. Hours later, the 49ers appeared on the verge of a 22-17 win over the Falcons – a victory that would have kept them in sole possession of the top seed in the NFC Playoffs. Instead, PointsBet issued a Good Karma Payout returning a five-figure payout to hundreds of Redskins’ backers. “It definitely cost us a good amount of money, around mid-five figures when the Eagles covered,” said John Murray, sportsbook director at the Westgate Superbook.Īnother sportsbook, PointsBet USA, would have lodged a small victory from Bradham’s fumble return. The ball caromed off an offensive lineman, bounced once and was scooped up by Nigel Bradham who raced 48 yards for a touchdown. Falling to the ground, Haskins tossed the ball in the air with an underhand lateral. With six seconds left, the Redskins (+6.5) trailed by three when quarterback Dwayne Haskins attempted in vain to avoid a sack. The scenario played out in the waning moments of a 37-27 win by the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday over the Washington Redskins. For those who experience more than one on an NFL Sunday, they may decide to take up a new hobby. For hardened and recreational bettors alike, a bad beat can feel like a punch to the gut.
