DraftKings Posts -EV Super Bowl TD Market: If Player Doesn’t Make SB, You Still Lose Bet

DraftKings has posted a Super Bowl anytime TD market with extreme levels of negative expected value.

If the player you bet on doesn't make the Super Bowl: tough luck. Your bet will still be settled as a loss.

Some of the odds are curiously juiced. For instance, Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has +5500 odds to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. The Steelers' odds to make the Super Bowl at FanDuel — the country's most popular sportsbook — are +6000. So, not only do the Steelers need to win their +6000 odds, but Johnson needs to score a TD in the game, too. Johnson scored in just five of 13 games this season.

Similarly, Steelers running back Najee Harris has odds at +5500 to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl — less than the +6000 FanDuel is offering on Pittsburgh to even make the Super Bowl. Harris has scored in just seven of his 17 games this year.

The ancillary examples are myriad. The first TD scorer for the Super Bowl market, too, is heavily juiced and negative expected value — even more so.
