It was the largest payout on a single wager since the Oregon Lottery released its new online sports betting game last month,\u201d reports KGW 8<\/i>, Portland’s NBC affiliate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
While Scoreboard doesn’t offer action on college competitions, it does allow bettors to invest in all four of the major domestic athletic leagues, as well as less-bet fare, such as Major League Soccer, professional golf, NASCAR, and, obviously, international sports.<\/p>\n
Not Testing The Limits…Yet<\/h2>\n
Prior to Scoreboard’s recent launch, officials from the Oregon Lottery said bettors there would be able to deposit up to $250,000 in their wagering accounts, implying the app could take a single bet of that amount.<\/p>\n
Lottery officials didn’t say a single bet of $250,000 would be refused. But amid concerns from community leaders that such a large amount and no caps on the number of wagers that can be placed could cause problem gambling, the lottery implemented protocols to monitor bettor behavior.<\/p>\n
To date, Beaver State bettors are nowhere close to testing Scoreboard’s willingness to take a wager of $250,000, as the average bet size thus far is just $22.<\/p>\n
One sports bettor wagered $15,021 on the Spurs\/Lakers game on Nov. 25. They lost the bet,\u201d according to KGW 8.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That’s the largest loss on Scoreboard thus far.<\/p>\n
Sort Of Big Bets<\/h2>\n
The largest single game NFL wagers on Scoreboard since the app debuted were courtesy of the same gambler, who plunked down a combined $7,000 on the over\/under of the Nov. 24 Cleveland Browns-Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons-Tampa Bay Buccaneers games. Those winning wagers, delivering $5,000 to the gambler.<\/p>\n
Oregon media reports note that the largest individual NFL bet to date on Scoreboard was a $10,000 futures wager on the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl<\/a>.<\/p>\nHowever, that bettor got skittish, opting to use Scoreboard’s \u201cBet Back\u201d feature, taking a $1,000 hit but getting $9,000 back in order to get out of the wager.<\/strong><\/p>\nData from Oregon Lottery hasn’t yet mentioned anything about unusual bets on the NBA’s Portland Trailblazers, the state’s lone franchise from one of the \u201cbig four\u201d US sports leagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Oregon Lottery’s sports betting mobile application, known as \u201cScoreboard,\u201d notched a decent first month handle of $13.1 million, paying $12.1 million of that tally to winning gamblers. Speaking of winners, one fortunate Oregon bettor recently turned $5 into $81,965 by hitting a 15-team parlay, by far the largest win in Scoreboard’s still nascent stages.
