Million dollar win on $15 parlay whoa

[acener]

Wow that is one hell of a luck,
It surely changed the persons life in just a short time and congratulations on the huge win.
It is like hitting a jackpot on a lottery and not everyone could do it.
I wonder if the person would continue to gamble or quit with that amount of profit that he got.

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?

It's truly crazy to win so much money like this. I'm really happy for the winner and hope that the money will be well-spent, bringing this person happiness. I've seen stories on 1300 odds, but this case is way more than that. That being said, I'm always interested in betting history when such cases are popularized. To understand how much one managed to beat the odds, it's important to know how many bets like this they made and lost before, and how much profit they have overall if we subtract the losses first.

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. 

Right, of course the win is unexpected luck for the player, just imagine with only $15.50 he was able to make $1.36 million in a betting, I think he is the luckiest person this week,  the gambler victory has make gambling sites experience substantial losses and are forced to drain their pockets to these lucky gamblers.
 Congratulations to the lucky gambler and enjoy the your money.😁

Generally yeah. It usually differs on the sport too. So, big players like bet365, and SkyBet have a higher payout on premier league games. I'm not sure why this is, unless they be think its harder to predict games in the higher leagues, and therefore don't mind increasing the max payout. Newly established cryptocurrency betting sites will more than likely cap it below 50k. Always worth checking their terms of services before betting on any site, as you might have been adding too many bets on your accumulator without actually gaining anything if you did win.

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.

Yup, parlays are difficult to hit and they're not recommended since it can drain your bankroll continuously depending on how much units you risk on each parlay.

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.

Knowing that Betfair is quite popular I think they're capable of paying the guy in one go.

Depends on your outlook while betting. I mean, I don't really gamble, and expect a profit. I do it for fun, and I usually do it on things that I'll be watching to make it that little bit more fun for me. It probably isn't recommended to do accumulators if your expecting a payout, but then again I'd argue that you shouldn't be gambling as a way of making profit in the first place, since its probably unlikely. Hence why gambling websites make so much revenue.

Plus, when you have a massive accumulator coming in, albeit not as big as this guys the stakes of that fight or football match is so much higher, and it really does heighten the feeling, regardless of whether it comes through or not. Disclaimer, I've never won big.

No way I'd take any sort of annuity they can fold at any time.  You win that money you take the money immediately, worry about taxes later.  Good chance unless it's a very reputable and well financed book that you never see a dime of that anyway.  Never bet those kinds of payout parlays unless you know you will get paid for sure.  Only worse thing then losing the last leg of a bet like this is to win and get stiffed.

I believe anyone that uses small amount of money to win such big amount is not even seeing the winning coming at all

This is me when I only try my luck at the very least, I used to do it rolling in dice for the very minimum amount and keep it rolling and so happy when it got hit a win though not much but still lucky.

[alegotardo]

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.

That goes for any sport, betting against the odds when almost no one does is a good way to win a lot of money, and you don't even have to bet a lot of money on it if you're betting on something that has a lot of stakes.

As for the case highlighted here by the OP... simply sensational, any praise I add has probably already been said in another previous post.

When i do really bet on parlays then i do usually have those kind of hopes where i could really hit up those nasty wins even though i do know that odds or chance is always against me.
Well, i dont really care that much since i do really enjoy when i do get thrilled whenever i do hit up 2-3 wins and then the last was a lost.
It cant really be denied that this one is really like a lottery chance considering those odds, whom had thought it would really be ending up a nasty hit?

The guy was very lucky indeed what a massive win and a rare feat,  $15 is such an amount one can afford to lose and luckily that meager amount of money resulted to a fortune and life changing earning, of course Betfair is a popular and renown gambling institution I don't think wining such a huge will have any impact on the bookie negatively having been online sportsbook and betting exchange for long time.
The London based bettor must have skills and much understanding in soccer betting as well as golf for him to have a four straight wins while eventually wining with the parlay.

[Woodie]

No f**king ways!

$15.5 to 1.36 million dollars  I thought this was a 20 leg bet slip at the least but this happened from a  six-leg parlay and I must say...the first two games from the parlay are predictable, the other winners all on the same bet slip not in a hundred years.

How the hell do these guys come up with such a winning combination...you really need to know your sport, congrats to the lad.

[just_Alice]

What an amazing win, the odds were so low, and they wi is just crazy, poor bettor, how did he even survive through watching this game

Also, I guess that makes this win the second biggest parlay ever won, after Steve Whiteley parlay win in Horse Racing. Also an amazing story, that one, maybe not everyone heard of it, the bettor turned £2 into £1.5m.

Best parlay ypu ever won or seen a story on?

The link says 136 million, but in the article it only 1.36 million, still an awesome profit. I played some Golf myself when I was younger, cool sport. But since university I just didn't have the time anymore and the membership is quite expensive if you don't play regularly. Watching the big playoffs is fun, but for betting on them I don't follow the sport not enough. This is definitely the biggest win I have seen in sports betting with a 15 USD wager.

^ Yeah, I also noticed that where is the truth, is that $1.36 million or $136 million.
But still impressive, how lucky he is who won that huge amount, it is a huge, a very huge amount that I have ever seen. Playing golf is not just easy, perfect timing is a must so that you can able to shoot the ball on the hole. It is really hard also to predict which player has the potential to win if you are a bettor, it seems this big winner was his big day. I can't imagine from the low amount to the huge amount that you had and probably those who read this article have an encourage to use parlay strategy in betting.

That was a hell of a luck! The chance is even higher to be struck by the lightning. Reading the link and checking what are those included in the 6 leg parlay, that was like, "does it even have a chance to win all"?

With that, I will admit that I want to continue now my usual parlay betting. Not expecting the same winnings but just want to test my luck around that total odds. I will take that story as a reference that it really happened and hopefully, to me soon lol.

Yeah, such a huge win doesn't happen too often. It's like winning a lottery jackpot.
I wonder how much he has spent so far on betting? Such details are never mentioned in the media.

I have seen users posting huge parlay wins in gambling sites where they are winning huge amounts by placing small bets but that was when the price of Bitcoin was well below $5k and i have seen users posting wins of 49BTC with small amounts but this is a crazy win and i will not predict Harris English to win the Travelers Championship at +3,500 and the bets he placed are insane.

[magneto]

Pretty insane for sure.

Perhaps parlaying for very large odds would work out better if the amount of legs were minimised (i.e., the odds on each leg are larger rather having than having a bunch of 1.05x odd legs). This makes sense as low odd bets generally carry a more negative EV compared to the rest.

And that's exactly what the bettor did here as well. A few double digit odds bet and 6 legs only - fair play to him.

[lienfaye]

He is indeed a one lucky guy in this world.
Imagine he only risk $15 yet the return is unbelievable.
Seems like a lottery for being a millionaire instantly.

Not really, the ones that become professionals are the ones that can earn money consistently out of their gambling activities and it is obvious a parlay especially one like this in which the odds to win are so low is the exact opposite of what I am stating.

However if someone is able to hit a parlay like this then it will be life changing as the money the gambler is going to win is going to be many times higher than what you can earn with traditional bets, which is what makes it so attractive on the first place to those that want to generate huge profits with their gambling hobby.
