Million dollar win on $15 parlay whoa

[iv4n]

...

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.

This is both luck and skill! You can't just be lucky and randomly choose soccer matches and winners in the weekend's golf tournaments... I guess this guy follows soccer and golf, he had some hunch and he tried it with $15! As you can see in the article:

"I was sure that Hovland, Korda and Steve Stricker were good bets," the unidentified bettor told Betfair. "But I was a little unsure on Harris English."

He knew what he is doing! And yes he had the luck to win this... I just wish to say it's not pure luck! The bet was placed June 22 and paid out at 90,396-1 odds! It's like crazy odds to hit! Congrats to the winner, I hope he will hit something similar again one day!

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.

This is what magical spells gambling can make into your life and these unpredictable wins can definitely make you live some luxury life within days.But it is rare chance and we can't expect everytime such huge wins on that low level bets.Most people actually don't anticipate that much winnings from bets they have placed but sometimes you can't see that coming and you hit the jackpot.So we must give a try with amount we can afford to loose and enjoy our journey along and if lucky we can hit that one day also.

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

Yeah, I agree, this is insane winning, and on a parlay that is really hard to do.

Best parlay ypu ever won or seen a story on?

I hit a couple of parlays in NBA, like x12 is the most I hit, with 4-5 winnings. I just got lucky I guess, and I still wanted to hit like x100 but it is very difficult because you can't really be so sure. Even the favourite can lost. I have a team which lead by 18 only to falter in the fourth quarter and obviously my parlays got destroyed.

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.

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.

they should not spend the money if they are shocked and dont know what to do but if they spend in imediately and lost it faster ,
that means they have been planning before if where will they spend the money .
having a plan is okay but they should have a plan too of saving the money for good so that it will last a lifetime .

When it comes to money winnings from gambling then its none of our business on how a gambler would be spending it because those money won is just easy as breeze and as expected

it would be spent out as breeze too and as a gambler then most likely you would really be ending on that path.Its just great to see on how this man make that 15 bucks to millions.

Almost an impossible thing to happen considering on the odds and who had thought that it would hit out? Parlays are great but these things are moneymakers of most bookies.

Wow, possibly one of the longest successful parlays I've ever seen. I bet the bookmaker was trying too buy him out of the bet all the way until the end and it's to their credit that they have paid it out. Parlays tend to be where bookmakers will make most of their profits, because people who are placing the bets usually don't realize the odds get exponentially worse against you the more bets that you string together. Wouldn't feel too sorry for the bookmaker though, because for every mega long shot single bet like this you know they are making ten million bets that pay off in their favor.

A long time ago I used to bet insane parlays everyday with a buddy from work. We would only put a dollar in every day, but we hit a few for a couple thousand dollars. I think it’s important to remember while looking at the wins is great, this gambler probably had many losses to go along with it. Still though, this is obviously a huge life changing win. This is the sort of story that brings people to bet.

+3,500
+1,400
+650
+500

This was almost the same as betting on a lottery wherein the chances of winning are low. And according to the bettor, he was sure betting to +1400, +650, and +500 pick. He is against at those analysts on that case.

The bettor is maybe a regular fan of betting parlays on a small amounts. After maybe several years of trying, he finally hits the jackpot.

One time, i bet 7 dollars with the winning chance (i don't remember correctly) like 1.5 % and WON! In return i got 170 dollars and was too happy about that. But few bets later, my bankroll decreased to 105 dollars and I decided that my luck is over. So i just took my reward and invest it to shitcoin on Yobit (This was also enough successful investment, but this is another story)

Was still really amazed with this parlay win and it is indeed like a lottery yet those odds wont be given if those players would have tendency nor have a chance to win or those lines been offered.

This do only happens once a in a lifetime hit and we dont know on how long he had been betting with parlays with minimal bet.

Here are some other big parlay hits in history. https://www.bestcasinosites.net/blog/biggest-parlay-ever-won.php

I'm that guy. I don't actually make sensible bets, I put small amounts of money on 5/6+ long accumulators hoping they come in. A few times I've been absolutely sweating it when there's one or two bets left on the card, and I'm watching it live. I can't imagine how this guy felt.

If he is betting small amounts like this usually, I think he's more than made up for many of the losses he suffered though.

This do only happens once a in a lifetime hit and we dont know on how long he had been betting with parlays with minimal bet.

Probably a long ass time. Although, I bet the pros of winning this time, outweighs the amount of times he likely put a unlikely bet on. Unreal.

[agustina2]

I'm also a parlay bettor and hoping to win a big amount someday out from doing that bet. That winnings now inspire me to continue.

That was truly a big achievement and it's actually a rare moment and I think only a few did that small parlay bet into a million-dollar win.

Even a good and professional sports analyst can't do that. It's really luck + skill + knowledge + trust with the team.

[chaser15]

It's just a $15 parlay but maybe he was doing it for many years but his effort now paid off.

Looking at those bets, I never will consider betting some of those but everything is really possible in sports betting even the chances of winning is low. Hands-off to that guy. He totally achieved his target for a long time.

Now enjoying the time spending his million-dollar win.

[barota]

in my opinion is very difficult for make a small win , for this bet that you are shared  , everyone talk about huge winning that happened rarely but there is lot of gamblers that lost huge money too . some time i dont beleive these news because they  make a hope i dont think so . every time lot of bettors lost huge money because gambling the gamblors should know that gambling have lot of risk , for this reason
the gambling is not easy like most of people thinking lot , generally gambling is not easy and the profit is not easy too

[Hydrogen]

It is interesting how the media neglects to mention gambling addiction potentially being linked to gamblers hitting the occasional multi million dollar bet.   

It used to be an easy and consistent way to make money for some of us, back in the day. Before the industry became more regulated.

I've hit a few 100x payout parlays on sports.

Hit many 20x to 40x.

I have screenshots. Maybe I'll make a thread and post them sometime.

In the event of winning big what he had lost might be big. With sports betting anything and everything is possible. Another thing that I've experienced personally is the winning on sports betting is high than being on the Casinos. I've made profit out of gambling when my focus was only on sports betting. From the day I moved to casino I started loss everything.

[wheelz1200]

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!

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.  

Yeah I'm sure it was still a nice cash by not waiting til the end.  I think he couldn't cash though because they went off around the same time but the +3500 bet ended last.  Wonder what the pay would have been without that last leg.  Still amazed after seeing how each of those legs went down.  Basically a lottery hit

[maxreish]

He's surely lucky. Thats also a rare case winning million dollars in a parlay bet sports. I won once in some parlay bet but not that huge payout like him and just a small bet. And as I've read his statement on the link given by OP, seems like he knows the teams and players behind the bet he have chosen.
Lucky fellow bettor, for sure he is enjoying that more than 1.3 million he won on that parlay.

[batako]

What a luck!

I wonder what is the maximum profit a user can get from betting on that bookie. It must be huge tho. $1.36 million could ruin the bookie's bankroll. AFAIK, at crypto casinos, the max win on a bet would around $50k.

The guy's definitely lucky, isn't parlay a hard thing to get wins over? That amount of money could change someone's life in an instant. I think that the bookie will probably do a pay out of installments to this person if possible because that's a lot of money and in gambling like lottery, you don't get the whole winnings in a lump sum because it needs to be taxed but nonetheless this is a life changing thing.
