Please provide the original statement that you would like me to rewrite.

The Detroit Lions, who had previously not won any games, have finally broken their streak and are no longer heading towards a record of 0-17.

Despite the possibility of Dan Campbell’s inaugural season as head coach concluding without a victory, the Detroit Lions secured a significant outcome on Sunday by tying against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a score of 16-16. This result ensures that the Lions will not enter the history books as the first team to finish the season with a devastating 0-17 record. Although their start was rough, losing their initial eight games, the Lions currently stand at 0-8-1 with eight more games left to play.

We have previously discussed how Michigan online sportsbooks were providing odds for the Lions to experience another season of historic futility.

We’re observing the current situation to see how things unfold as the Lions are no longer on track to end the season with a 0-17 record, although there is still a possibility that they may not secure a single victory.

PointsBet: 0-17 bets will be graded as losers

The market offering the opportunity to bet on the Detroit Lions to go 0-17 was initially introduced by PointsBet Sportsbook, making it the first Michigan sportsbook to do so.

A spokesperson mentioned that due to the way it was phrased, those bets will be considered as unsuccessful.

On September 28, PointsBet launched the Lions 0-17 market at +1600 when the Lions had a record of 0-3. As the Lions continued to struggle, the line shifted to +1400 on October 11 when their record fell to 0-5. Further decline in the team’s performance led to another adjustment on October 25, bringing the line down to +800 as the Lions reached a record of 0-7. Finally, on November 1, with the Lions maintaining their winless streak at 0-8, the line was revised to +425.

Nevertheless, it is worth questioning whether the PointsBet Karma Kommittee, known for convening at 7 a.m. with coffee and bagels, will consider granting leniency to any unfortunate bettors. It is only logical to assume that the Lions would need to experience a complete loss for such mercy to be extended.

Is there anyone who deserves good karma more than a fan of the Lions?

BetMGM, Caesars, FanDuel also grading bets as losers; we’re checking on DraftKings

Playinmichigan received disappointing responses from BetMGM Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, and Caesars Sportsbook representatives, bringing unfortunate news for the bettors.

The bets placed on the 0-17 seasons will be considered losers.

On the contrary, Caesars and FanDuel presented an alternative perspective. Hence, if you placed a bet against the Lions going 0-17, you have already secured a winning bet.

DraftKings Sportsbook has not responded to us as of Monday afternoon.

Lions are up against Cleveland Browns next

If the Lions manage to secure a victory in any of their remaining eight games, all of this becomes irrelevant.

Following that, there will be another away game in the AFC North against Cleveland. The Browns, who suffered a 45-7 defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots last Sunday, currently hold a 5-5 record.

Afterwards, the Lions will compete in their traditional Thanksgiving game at their own stadium, facing off against Chicago. Additionally, the team will encounter a handful of more favorable matchups throughout the remainder of their schedule.
