This is the most insane winning parlay I've ever seen.  And with the last leg resting on a golf match that went deep into a playoff.  Would have had a heart attack watching myself

Best parlay ypu ever won or seen a story on?

what the heck is that   Is he a prophet? Oh my god! Parlay bets are not too strange, but parlay bets with 6 win conditions, and 4 of them are championships? It really is a crazy thing   Unbelievable! Great! There are no words to describe this sublimation   He is really cool! Really! He's cool for making such a terrible bet. Although the amount he bet was not large, meaning without any hesitation, if he lost, it was okay. But the crazy thing is he hit them all, there were four championships there. He's a prophet, lol   I guess we can call him one of the luckiest

I've seen betslips on Nitrogen that have come close to rivalling this, with insane odds of 10,000x or more. I think there was a decent few that I've seen hit, but a ton that were off by just 1 leg or 2.

What is surprising imo is that there was only 6 legs and he managed to get those odds for it. This just shows how unlikely some of the legs were to being hit (+3500 AND +1400). Most people who want a big parlay payout generally go for 10+ legs with relatively tame odds.

At the end of the day though, the more odds you accumulate through parlaying, the more likely you are to lose as the negative EV's of the bets just keep piling on top of one another. Don't chase these odds for anything other than entertainment.

Completely agree.  Parlays is a moneymaker for books, just insane how his last leg was riding on a +3500 long shot that needed a 20 foot put to go to playoffs and then one of the longest playoffs in recent time. ..the agony of that win lol.

People that truly make it in gambling are the ones like this, the amount of money won is life changing and life transforming, I believe anyone that uses small amount of money to win such big amount is not even seeing the winning coming at all, while the people that uses high amount on low odds staked can still lose. Sport outcomes can be unpredictable at times which can give some people that chances of wining.

[Darker45]

This is dope! But having combined those six legs on a parlay, with four of which highly underdogs, was like betting on a lottery. This was almost impossible to win. With four legs on odds as high as +500, +1,400, +650, +3,500, you've got to be crossing your fingers and pray that all the upsets in the world be happening in your parlay bet. Oh well, sometimes the unbelievable happens, too!

As for me, I normally parlay those sure wins, which more often than not make me lose.

You've got to be the luckiest guy on earn or a prophet to have picked the winners and won millions with $15. I have no idea what this PGA Tour is about but winning it all definitely is in a million bet, very rare and it's worthy to have it on the headline for sportsbooking news.  I doubt this will ever happen in crypto. Congrats to him.

"I thought I was going to have a heart attack when the winning putt went in. I couldn't believe it."

That is a quote from the winner of parlay and I think everyone would have a heart attack if they won that kind of amount with just their small amount of money. I read the article and the winner was really a golf enthusiast, he was confident with his 3 bets and only doubt the last. He deserves it and I hope he spends his winnings properly. Sportsbetting is really fun especially if you are really a fan of the game you're betting. Winning from it is an achievement that you won't forget.

[Strongkored]

This rarely happens because the possibility is very small or even almost impossible to win at high odds in parlay, because usually if bet on parlay bettor usually will choose low odds because the possibility of winning is quite large.

In my opinion, this is quite big and happened at sportbet which is quite active in promoting in this forum

There seems to be a surge of this kind of story this year because one of my friends show me someone bet about 250 USD and got around 2k USD in return in a basketball game and the one he betted on has a +11 but it wasn't needed after all because the team mopped the floor of the other team. But this thread is more impressive because the person betted such a small amount and got a really big win.

[Wexnident]

Holy f, that's quite the insane win right there. it's pretty amazing that the condition actually managed to go through, especially since it had that insane odds due to how difficult the feat was. This was literally a lottery imo, a one out of how many odds chances of winning. Not really something I'd suggest for gamblers to actually do since it's a really hard feat to pull it off, not to mention that you aren't necessarily the one pulling it off but rather the player. Still, very big well played from me!

Yes, it is actually hard to win, even only few people can win such a game, like out of millions of people, not up to 10 can win, but in contrast to your other opinion, I can advice people to play such game, betting is not about looking for high stake and low odds, it is about using lillte amount of money to stake big and maybe you will hit the jackpot one day, I mean win the huge amount in a bet. This is just life changing, the winner would have risked in the past, but he later gained a life changing profit. If I were the man, I will leave gambling for now and establish businesses.

If I'm the person who bet on it? I'll probably don't want to watch the last leg, too much excitement for me. I might as well check the scores later and hope that I will win my bet.

I haven't done parlay betting though, just singles in sports like basketball and football or sometimes tennis. The thing with parlays is sometimes you already had a good run, but it will be ruined by someone that you don't expect to lose in the end.

[dothebeats]

I do parlays and just "bet and forget" as I don't really want to stress myself out on watching too many games and hoping for all of them to win. It's really difficult to bet parlay and do an actual win, even on bets that on paper, looks obvious that it will hit and then afterwards it wouldn't. I wonder how will the dude be able to comprehend that he won such an amount though, as even the most hardcore gamblers and bettors would surely be shocked that they won the jackpot of their lifetime.

Well that's probably one of the craziest bets that somebody ever won. Congratulations to that guy. I would imagine he did this bet just for fun probably while he was drunk  because he only bet 15$ so even if he had lost the bet he would not have a significant loss. So i would put this monumental win not under the category "a bet that was won because of great knowledge of the sports and thorough research" but more in the category "once in a lifetime lucky bet comparable to hitting the jackpot in a big national lottery draw", so i don't think that we can learn anything here from that bet, but it still shows what is possible if everything aligns in your way.

I wouldn't say impossible, the only underdog he took was the +3500 while the other three were more or less favorites to win the tournament but still it's impressive.

If I had the same bet i'd probably cashed out that ticket so props to him for letting the ticket ride until the end.

I don't speak for everyone but I think that he won't be thinking right for the first few hours or days on what to do with that amount of money because I have seen people and read stories of people that got a lot of money in such a short time and quickly wasted it on luxury and ludicrous stuff which quickly depleted the money.

I am not familiar with the names and even with the leagues they're playing in, but I don't understand. How could they be favorites when the odds are very high on them? Even the lowest among the four, Steve Stricker's +500 odds is still very high. If we convert that to decimals, that would be 6.00, or your $100 would win $500. I guess that means Steve winning the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship is less expected.

The last time I bet on a parlay if I remember it right my odds were like 1.06 to 1.30.

I don't follow golf as well but the reason why the odds are that high even for favorites is because they are outright bets meaning they have to win all the way plus there's always the risk of favorites getting eliminated early.

Also it was mentioned that he took them before the tournament started so favorites that are priced at 5.00 is normal in terms of outright betting then the odds eventually go down even more once they progress in the tournament.

That's unbelievable! There are really people who are born lucky in gambling wherein they could make a small amount of money huge. I guess that person is still in shock since that isn't a small amount of money. As for me, he's really destined to get that prize. I believe that winning such an amount is still a person's destiny. Let's just hope that more people would be as lucky as him in the future.
