PointsBet Pays Out Unders on Cowboys Win Totals After Dak Injury

PointsBet is paying out all win total under bets on the Dallas Cowboys to win less than 11 games. Dak Prescott will undergo surgery and is expected to be out for 6-8 weeks.

The Cowboys' win total was 9.5 wins before Dak Prescott's injury. It's the second time in less than a month that PointsBet paid out season-long win bets early after an injury to a team. In August the bookmaker paid all bets on the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder to record under 25.

PointsBet pays out bets early to bet on NBA futures betting. The strategy increases the chances of getting the money back quicker and earns the sportsbook some PR.

The Cowboys are now +500 to win the NFC East, while their odds to do so had been +145. Their odds of winning the Super Bowl have increased from +2000 to +5000.

Cooper Rush took over for Dak Prescott in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Rush is 1-0 as an NFL starter. The Cowboys have the sixth easiest schedule in NFL according to The Action Network’s Director of Predictive Analytics, Sean Koerner. They're currently +7 underdogs to the reigning AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals next Sunday.
