A 25-leg parlay hitting is crazy rare, so props to anyone who manages it. Parlays like that are pure long-shot entertainment fun when they land, but impossible to rely on. For most bettors, keeping parlays small helps manage variance and bankroll swings.
What made you confident enough to stack 25 legs stats, gut feeling, or just taking a shot?
Honestly, I enjoy multi-leg parlays and when I put this one together, I truly felt it was going to hit. I was worried about about Ole Miss/Florida because the Gators upset them last year. After Ole Miss won, my confidence that I would get all 25 legs really grew.
College Football - We've seen these teams for 11-12 weeks, so I felt I had a good idea of which teams were capable of an upset when coming in as huge underdogs. I stayed away from those games.
College Basketball - Early season teams play inferior opponents to fill out the schedule. I kept it safe with my basketball picks and things went according to schedule. I made a point to ban UNLV from all my parlays after a dubious loss on November 4 to UT Martin. UNLV was favored by 17.5 and then the line dropped 14 points right before tip off. UNLV then proceeded to lay an egg and lose. I had a 15 leg parlay and lost it only because of UNLV.
NBA - OKC is rolling and was no brainer against Charlotte. I almost stayed away from Cavs/Grizzlies because an upset was possible, and Grizzlies actually led by 8 going into the 4th quarter. However, Cavs are a top team, great regular season team and a strong 4th quarter team. Predictably they overwhelmed Memphis in 4th quarter 32-16.
NFL - Ravens/Browns was the only NFL game I felt strongly about for this type of parlay. Picking an NFL game also meant that after winning first 24 legs Saturday, I was going to have to wait till Sunday for the final leg. However, this allowed me to consider a hedge bet, to lock in profit. I ultimately only hedged $50 pregame on Browns +340 ML. There were opportunities during the game to hedge more at +480 and late in the game at +1000. However, when Shedeur Sanders entered the game, he is inexperienced and the Ravens defense was invigorated to shut him down. At that point, I basically was riding with the Ravens to bring my parlay home, instead of overpaying or unnecessarily hedging.
Not bad, nice hit man!
Lots of huge favorites on the money line the -2000 ect is killing me, but hey it hit.
A small degen tip, if you make that huge list and include one small dog, that brings the value up massively!
Yes I know. I was very close to including ML Bet for Virginia to beat Duke. Virginia is nationally ranked and it was so disrespectful that the books had them as 4.5 point underdogs. I knew Virginia was going to win! If I had included that game, my payout would have been so much better! However, I decided to stick with picking all heavy favorites for this parlay.
Congratulations to you, that was indeed a big win, were you sure of winning this bet based on your strategy or was it based on luck. Usually parlays are always about getting lucky, combining more than 5 games in a bet slip reduces the chances of winning. This game was up to 25 games in total and you won, no betting could have helped to achieve this. Once again congratulations on your big win juat ensure that you don't throw it back into gambling, you can consider putting it into an investment or something that you can make money from
I carefully picked the 25 games sacrificing higher payout for higher win probability. However, of course luck is still required! I sent the picks to my friend after submitting and told him the parlay would likely hit. I ran two other parlays the same day that would have been much higher payouts (one of them was $50 to win $15,000). I had good picks but obviously it's tough when you pick a game with two solid teams playing.
If you actually win and you are expressing your happiness here, there is no need to explain yourself whether it's legit or not, it's nobody's business to check out it's originality, I am okay with your winning and congratulations to you.
I could see on your dashboard that you've only bet again with $75 after winning, I hope you are not a greedy gambler who will start placing more bets with bigger stakes, because, the urge to do that usually comes after winning this whooping amount.
Stay grounded and withdraw the necessary amount first before staking again, failure to do this will literally end in tears.
Thanks! That's good advice. Yeah, I haven't wagered anything since the win. What you see on my dashboard is the 3 parlays that I ran on Saturday. I like to do parlays on Saturday, when you have the opportunity to cherry pick tons of college football and basketball, NBA and NFL games.
I already cashed out the winnings but you are correct, I can't let this win convince me that hitting huge parlays is easy and that playing higher stakes is prudent. That is not the case!
Is there any chance this was generated by AI? Anyone?

I have grown very skeptical on anything I see on the internet because of the advance of generative artificial intelligence, so basically anything i see on the internet I do not take it as a reality.
Also, I have seen people on the internet who fake anything they can in order to get clout, actually there is a lot of people of are called "clout chasers". If you look at instagram and tik tok there are a lot of people who live off clout, always showing gambling and betting successful stories to their followers. Doing the same here on the forum could imply there are some ill-intentions, like asking for money to those go send a DM seeking for betting advice.
Anyways, congratulations if you managed to get all that money. Hopefully you can make a good use of it and not to gamble or bet all of it on the internet.
Well thanks... I think! Haha!
P.S. Yes I managed to get all the money.
