Speaking of that Monday Night Football shootout that ended with the Rams defeating the Chiefs, 54-51, DraftKings was kind enough to provide us with the handle percentage from that game. When it comes to sports betting, handle percentage can get mixed up with revenue, so let us explain. Handle is defined as the total amount of money wagered by bettors at a sportsbook over a given period, while revenue is defined as the amount of money a sportsbook retains from total handle after paying out winners.
Here is the handle percentage from MNF:

Unfortunately for bettors, the Chiefs came up short.
DraftKings Sportsbook Has Some Big Winners
DK were kind enough to deliver a report to us covering notable sportsbook bets from the previous week on the DraftKings Sportsbook app.
- Betting on the NBA was a wise choice this week for one player, as what ended up being the highest odds to drive a win this week was a three-leg parlay on NBA basketball. The player was paid out $1,654 on a mere $5 bet. Amazing!
- Another player made a big score with a $2 bet, hitting on a nine-leg parlay, combining college football and NBA basketball, which delivered a $653 win.
- One player saw into the future and cashed out at the right time on their 11-leg parlay. After hitting on the first 10 legs, the player cashed out, turning his or her’s $1 bet into a $342 score. And guess what? The 11th leg ended up losing! This player made the right call!
When you can make hundreds or even thousands off of small, risk-free bets, you come to understand why sports betting is thriving in states like New Jersey. And now with the new DraftKings Sportsbook Pools, the payouts will only get even greater.
