Bettor Wins Big Betting Against Favorite NFL Team: Here's The Bet, Team And Why 'Writing Was On The Wall'
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
An NFL fan bet against his favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and won $2,125 on a $250 bet with FanDuel, owned by Flutter Entertainment (OTC:PDYPY). The Eagles lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL Playoffs, televised by Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS)-owned ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC. The Eagles' poor performance against the spread and the absence of leading receiver A.J. Brown were factors in the bet.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
The Philadelphia Eagles' playoff game, which they lost, was broadcasted on Walt Disney Co-owned ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.
While the game's outcome may affect viewer sentiment and future betting behavior, it is unlikely to have a significant short-term impact on Disney's stock price. Disney's broad entertainment portfolio dilutes the effect of a single game's broadcast.
