1 overall, and come Friday morning there are going to be a lot of people who flushed money down the toilet based on this advice.Of the seven at-large seats available on Philadelphia City Council, two are reserved for minority party or Independent candidates. Maybe they were just trolling? Either way, there remains no evidence beyond one random post that Levis will be taken No. Why would someone do this? Perhaps they wanted to try and manipulate Young’s odds and get a bet in when he dropped. Today he was added back in, and immediately shot to 5-1. The possibility of Levis being the top pick was so unthinkable that last week BetMGM took Levis off their possible prop bets all together. “We are still seeing some small bets trickle through at the current price, but the speculation is all the action was off the back of a Reddit post.” “Given the nature of the draft, we drastically cut the price based on this action and eventually came to a price where the bets stopped,” a DraftKings spokesperson told ESPN. 1 wasn’t a result of a few large bets (which you’d expect if someone really knew), but rather hundreds of smaller ones, which they believe all originated as a result of the post. DraftKings told ESPN that all the action they were seeing at Levis No. As of writing Bryce Young is the runaway favorite at -1000, with Levis sitting in second at +500 - dropping a little from the fever pitch. It’s incredible to have intimate knowledge of both NFL draft secrets AND Hollywood casting, but random folks on Reddit have that power.īy early afternoon the books had reopened, and betting had stabilized.

Regardless of what happened with the money at sportsbooks, NFL writers and draft gurus met this with unparalleled skepticism.

There is no history of this poster making any correct predictions other than saying “trust me,” and when pressed they claimed they also told the sub that Baker Mayfield was going to be the No.

A huge influx of bets led to sportsbooks temporarily ceasing prop bets on the top pick, which poured fuel on the fire of people who were now convinced that Reddit had beaten Vegas like this was WallStreetBets all over again. Over 1,000 people have commented, many of whom posting that they went and put money on Levis being the No. The post from “u/SaleAgreeable2834” on r/sportsbook remains the top post in the subreddit. This is information only the smallest handful of people would know, but it was enough to move the market. Just one problem: The whole thing started from the most hilarious source imaginable - a random Reddit post, written by a user who claimed they had extensive inside knowledge of the No. It doesn’t matter that this isn’t how sports betting works, but group think took over to such a degree that for a few hours the football world became convinced that the Panthers were going to stun everyone by taking Levis, a player many assume will be the third or fourth quarterback off the board.
