The $100,000 baseball bets, one after another, started coming in over the weekend at the sportsbook at Borgata, the last casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to reopen during the coronavirus pandemic.
As the first weekend of the baseball season wound down, Borgata had taken roughly the equivalent of three weeks of normal MLB betting handle in just three days -- despite the casino being limited to only 25% capacity.
"It's been very impressive," Tom Gable, Borgata director of race and sports, told ESPN on Sunday, the first day the casino was fully open to the general public after an invite-only event the previous days. "Today, we took six different six-figure wagers. Yesterday, we had five six-figure wagers made."
