Carrot Top isn’t much of a sports bettor, but the longtime MGM Resorts headliner threw some of his dollars down Monday to officially open the rebranded BetMGM sportsbook at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

The comedian, who performs at the Luxor six nights a week, bet $50 on the Las Vegas Raiders to win the Super Bowl at 40-1 odds, a wager that could be worth $2,000.

“I’ve lived here almost 27 years, and I don’t really bet much,” he said. “That’s probably a good thing. But I love the energy and the action. I love watching the games.”
