At least one person is extremely confident that the Carolina Panthers are going to be taking home the Super Bowl trophy.

So confident, in fact, that the person is putting more than $600,000 on the Panthers to win Super Bowl 50, according to a report from ESPN.

Carolina opened as a 3.5-4.5 point favorite, but the number continues to climb. Anywhere from 80-90 percent of money has been put on Carolina, according to most sportsbooks, and the Panthers have climbed to a five and six-point favorite in some because of it.

Enter to win $1000 towards Panthers Super Bowl tickets!
The $623,142.25 bet on the Panthers to win straight up at -190 odds would net the person $327,969.90 if Carolina wins.

620k to win 327k.....ouch

I would give the 4 points for the full 620k. Super Bowls are usually blowouts.

They should win by at least 14. But I wouldn't be suprised if it was rigged for Peytons last ride.

If it was rigged, it would not be about peyton getting another ring, it would be about the money and how people are betting.
If most $ is on Carolina, then Denver may get some help, but they would still have to play good enough to keep it close.

for all you know,the story was made up to influence people to bet on Carolina.
no one with that much money is that stupid to bet that much for a low return
