This already looks like a major scandal.

There is no doubt that we live in an era where sports betting has taken over. The NFL is part of that, and its biggest event of the year, the Super Bowl, drew a lot of attention in terms of bets. Somebody bet $1 million on the Seattle Seahawks to win the big game.

Celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Drake also bet $1 million on the New England Patriots. Even Super Bowl 61 is already present in the betting market. The Los Angeles Rams entered the offseason as the biggest threat to the Seahawks in 2026.

On the other side, a situation involving Patriots superfan Mark Wahlberg has unfolded in recent hours. The Hollywood actor’s daughter reportedly influenced predictions worth $24 million ahead of Sunday’s showdown.

Mark Wahlberg’s Daughter Allegedly Told People Her Father Would Attend Super Bowl 60

Kalshi, a prediction site which recently welcomed NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo as an investor, processed over $1 billion in trades during Super Bowl 60. ESPN’s David Purdum reported on Monday that $24 million was traded on whether or not Mark Wahlberg would attend the game in Santa Clara.

That number was more than the sum of the other 31 celebrities combined. This included the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

TikTok user “theinternmason” shared a video in which he claimed a person close to Ella Wahlberg, Mark’s daughter, at Clemson University, said that her father planned to attend the game. The person and his fraternity brothers were advised to bet on it.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
