A player who had been waiting a long time in a parlay to win saw his work finally pay off Thursday night.
An unidentified bettor at Caesars Sportsbook won nearly $100,000 by predicting the outcomes in three sports championship games.
The three-game parlay predicted the exact outcome of the Super Bowl, as well as the College Football Playoff National Championship game along with the Mavericks’ victory in the Western Conference Finals.
In total, the $50 bet had odds of +197500 and returned $98,800 when combined with his initial bet.
Considering everything that happened along the way to get there, it wasn’t an easy gamble to solve.
A Mavericks bettor got excited after Dallas reached the NBA Finals, sealing his parlay
The bettor had been waiting a while for this parlay to cash in on his previous soccer bets.
For starters, the Michigan Wolverines fell behind to Alabama in the Rose Bowl and needed overtime to get a win over the Crimson Tide.
The Washington Huskies were then able to beat the Texas Longhorns in the Sugar Bowl, clinching both spots in the CFP title game.
That title game itself was a no-brainer for the bettor, as Michigan cruised to an easy victory.
But he faced adversity again after correctly guessing that the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers would meet in the Super Bowl.
That contest went to overtime, and Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs survived to win another title.
All that was left was Dallas, who had a long shot at winning the conference during the regular season.
But some trade deadline acquisitions suited Doncic and Co.’s title aspirations perfectly and swept the Western Conference in the playoffs.
