March Madness bettor turns down $70,000 cash-out option on 18-leg parlay… only for Baylor to suffer shock defeat and end hopes of HUGE $203,000 win

One unlucky bettor saw Clemson take $202,723.41 from him on Sunday.

An 18-game, $50 college basketball parlay on DraftKings was already on the verge of winning thousands of dollars for one fan when he decided to roll the dice one more time.

After winning 16 matches, the bettor was offered a cash-out option worth $59,110.38, but looking for more money for his bet, he sought to sell it, according to Darren Rovel.

The bet, which had a real value of $70,882, found a suitor who was willing to shell out the $70,000 that had been requested to take it on.

However, the original owner decided to let it run with Baylor Moneyline and UConn against the spread.

Instead, they opted to let it be up to Baylor Moneyline and UConn against the spread.

UConn held up its end of the bargain, but Baylor suffered a surprising loss.

However, that decision backfired when the Baylor Bears became the only weekend favorites to lose.

The Clemson Tigers, +160 underdogs, pulled off a 72-64 upset over third-seeded Baylor.

The bet had about a 35 percent chance of winning before the start of Baylor-Clemson and UConn-Northwestern.

UConn, whose game against Northwestern began about 90 minutes after Baylor at 7:45 p.m. ET, held up its end of the gamble, easily covering a 75-58 victory.

RayJ Dennis led Baylor with 27 points, including 21 in the second half. Ja’Kobe Walter added 20 points, but the Bears (24-11) lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament for the third straight year.

Walter’s three-point play cut Clemson’s lead to 64-62 with 2:19 left, giving the bettor one last glimmer of hope.

And Baylor had a chance to tie the game with 36.2 seconds left, but Walter missed two free throws. RJ Godfrey then made four free throws and Girard made two to help Clemson close the scoring.
