Philadelphia Eagles star defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected before the first offensive snap of the game after seemingly spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Referees immediately threw a flag, and Carter was ejected after an unsportsmanlike penalty was called.
For those gamblers who were riding Carter prop bets, sportsbooks were fast to point out their rules.
This from DraftKings:
"On any player prop market, player(s) must participate in at least one (1) play (including special teams) for bets to have action. Since Jalen Carter never took a snap, wagers will void."
Gamblers still had questions following the incident, which will need to be addressed by the sportsbook they placed their wagers with.
"So what happen on your parlay bets IF you took some defense lines and took Jalen Carter for sacks and tackles Now!???"
Others pulled out the conspiracy theory card.
"Someone check and see if there were suspicious bets on the Jalen Carter unders."
Carter, 24, is entering his third year in the NFL after being taken ninth overall by Philadelphia in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Georgia. He made the Pro Bowl last season, tallying 4½ sacks and 42 combined tackles over 16 games as he emerged as a starter on the defensive interior.
In 2023, Carter was runner-up as Defensive Rookie of the Year after totaling six sacks, 33 combined tackles, two forced fumbles and his lone fumble recovery was returned 42 yards for a touchdown.
