This one looked like a substantial loss for TAB Sportsbook out of Australia.  That was until Toronto mounted the biggest NBA comeback of the decade.

Leading 82-53 at the end of the third quarter, the Raptors came back to score 47 points in the fourth.  This resulted in a miraculous 110-107 win for Toronto.

At one point heading towards the end of the third quarter, Australian-based PointsBet was forced to shut off its live in-play betting.

The gambler had $139,500 riding on Dallas to win outright.

David Purdum of ESPN revealed the following:

"According to ESPN Stats & Information research, only five teams in the shot clock era (since 1954-55) lost after entering the fourth quarter with a lead of 23 of more points. The Mavs are No. 6."

"It would be fair to say that the TAB customer in question had a tough morning," Trent Langskaill, media officer for TAB, told ESPN in an email.

"Six-figure bets are not common, but basketball is now the biggest sport in terms of money bet at TAB, which also includes our National Basketball League," Langskaill added. "The interest in the NBL has increased significantly with LaMelo Ball's arrival, in particular."

Other notable bets this past weekend heading into Christmas included a $405,000 money-line bet on the Dallas Cowboys to beat the Philadelphia Eagles straight up at -135 odds at the Borgata while Jeff Stoneback, director of race and sports for MGM in Nevada, told ESPN he took two bets to win $150,000 on the Falcons at -7 and -7.5.

"That hit," Stoneback said Sunday, "and then we had taken a $100,000 on the Giants last night. That was a bad game for us, too."

Early games went to the public, according to Dave Mason of BetOnline.

Sunday's big Chiefs cover assured the books had a losing day Sunday.
