Sports betting is extremely popular and is being legalized in many states. I on the other hand care enough without having money on the games. If you’ve ever watched a football game with me you’ve seen that I couldn’t handle the added stress of betting on my team. But plenty of people do. However, if you bet on the Carolina Panthers last year, you didn’t end up a winner. A new study from Bookmakers.com ranked each of the NFL teams on how profitable they were to bet on last season. And well, like the team, the Panthers didn’t deliver. In fact, if you bet on them each game you lost a significant amount of money.
For many people, their betting strategy involves backing their own team to win every week, instead of trying to pick the best games to bet on. This study is based on the hypothesis of betting $100 on your team in each game of the 2021 season.
The Las Vegas Raiders came in at the top of the list winning loyal betters a profit of $921. Keep reading to see how each team faired. Only 12 of the 32 teams turned a profit though, but how far down the list were the Panthers? Well, you’ll be scrolling for a while thanks for sure.
Below is a ranking of every NFL team from most to least profit from a fixed $100 wager on them to win every game week of the 2021/2022 regular season. And if you bet on the Carolina Panthers, I’m truly sorry for your loss.
