A bettor at Tuscany Casino in Las Vegas placed a $9,000 wager on the Buccaneers to win this season’s Super Bowl, according to William Hill U.S., the company that operates the sports book at the property.

The bettor was an out-of-town customer who flew to Vegas to make the bet, William Hill spokesperson Michael Grodsky told Omnisport. At 60-to-1 odds, the bet would result in a $540,000 profit for the gambler. It represents the largest potential payout on a Super Bowl ticket William Hill currently faces.
Tampa Bays’ Super Bowl odds have been shortened from 60/1 to 50/1.
The $9,000, though, was not enough to put the Bucs in the top 10 in terms of money wagered in William Hill’s Super Bowl futures market. Here’s the list.
