An NFL bettor is experiencing immediate regret after acquiring a Brock Purdy MVP ticket. The bettor purchased the slip on Prop Swap from someone who initially placed the bet in the preseason. Unfortunately, the timing coincided with Purdy’s worst performance of the year in a loss to Baltimore, causing him to plummet down the MVP standings.
The optimistic bettor believed Purdy would maintain strong numbers while leading the Super Bowl-contending 49ers in the final three weeks of the season. The ticket, with a potential $202,000 payout, was acquired for $125,000.

The original ticket was initially placed preseason for $2,000 when Purdy’s MVP odds were 100/1, promising a $120,000 win for the first buyer. However, after Purdy’s subpar performance with four interceptions against the Ravens, he dropped from first to third in the MVP race, trailing Lamar Jackson and teammate Christian McCaffrey.
Given the current standings, it seems unlikely for Purdy to surpass both competitors in the final two weeks of the regular season, especially considering his shared backfield with CMC.
This serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of betting futures, and the bettor’s $125,000 investment may turn out to be the quickest waste of the NFL season. Betting always carries inherent risks and surprises.
