The Super Bowl is just around the corner, and it cannot come soon enough, at least for Las Vegas.
The big game will take place at Sin City for the first time ever, making an already huge event for the city into the ultimate, most crucial day of the year.
Every season, thousands of fans flood Las Vegas to get their Super Bowl wagers on and have some fun ahead and during the big game, and this season — obviously — won’t be the exception to that rule.
Notably, DraftKings Sportsbook recently announced that one of it’s players has already placed a $600,000 wager on the San Francisco 49ers’ moneyline at -120 odds.

Should it hit, the bettor will receive $1.1 million.
That’s a lot of confidence in Kyle Shanahan’s team, for sure.
Of course, the Niners have more than enough talent on both sides of the field to take care of business and win this game; there’s no doubt about that.
Then again, they’re going against the defending Super Bowl champions and a team resilient enough to overcome their season-long woes to be at their best when it mattered the most.
It’s not that there aren’t plenty of reasons to back up the Niners; they’re favored ahead of this game for a reason.
However, history has shown that going against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid is rarely a wise decision, let alone placing such a huge wager against them.
