No sporting event gets even close to the amount of betting action the Super Bowl does, and this year's edition of the big game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots is no different. We have seen several massive bets come in on the game heading into Super Bowl Sunday, so in this article, we're going to take a look at a handful of those huge wagers.

If you want my bets for this game, you'll find them in my article 60 Bets for Super Bowl 60. Remember, the Seahawks are set as 4.5-point favorites, but the odds on the big bets below will vary based on the timing of the bet and which sportsbook it was bet at.

The first seven-figure wager was placed at Circa Sports in Las Vegas, a $1.1 Million bet on the Patriots to win the game outright at +188. The bettor would win a profit of $2.068 Million if the Patriots can pull off the upset.

It's not often you see feel-good stories around big bets, but a bettor in Florida has wagered $1 million on the Seahawks moneyline and has stated that if it wins, he'll donate the winnings to pediatric cancer research.

This bet isn't a huge wager, but it could have a big payout. A brave bettor placed a bet in August that the New England Patriots would defeat the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl 60 at 3100-1 odds. Both teams had 60-1 odds or longer to win the Super Bowl, so there's a chance this bettor may be a time traveler. What a call at Circa Sports!

There's one bettor who has already cashed in big on the Seahawks, betting $50k on them to win the NFC Championship at 28-1 odds before the season began. He can cash in another $3M if they can win one more game. The bettor is in a great spot with Seattle set as a 4.5-point favorite.

Celebrities are getting in on the sports betting action as well. Kendall Jenner has bet $1M on the Patriots moneyline at +190. She also stated she'll be giving the winnings to a good cause if the Patriots are able to pull off the upset.

Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns went the opposite way of Jenner, placing $1M on the Seahawks -125. Based on the odds, it looks like Booker bought a point to bring the line down from -4.5. We'll see if that proves to be important.

Finally, the largest single recorded bet has been placed by none other than Mattress Mack, who makes a habit of placing a yearly big wager on the Super Bowl. He bet on the AFC to win the Super Bowl at +200 before Championship Sunday, getting a slightly better price on the Patriots than he would have gotten if he waited until the Super Bowl matchup was decided.

Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
