Hard Rock's online sportsbook in Florida had been closed for two years, while a legal battle played out all the way to the U.S. But it wasn't even the wildest bet of the first week of legal betting's return to Florida. It resulted in one of the largest parlay payouts ever reported by a U.S. Singletary rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown, and the Texans kicked a field goal on the final play for a 30-27 win over the Bengals.

On Sunday, a bettor with Hard Rock casino's newly reopened online sportsbook in Florida won $5.5 million on a four-leg, same-game parlay on the Houston Texans-Cincinnati Bengals game. Yet, the wildest wagering storylines of the week came out of Florida.
