A Pennsylvania gambler has paid out nearly $ 1 million after hitting a remarkable 15-team cross-country match on Thursday.
FanDuel Sportsbook has placed the $ 604 bet on Valley Forge Casino Resort:
It was a unique win, as most teams were small favorites, and Texas – which was even money in its rivalry with Texas Tech – also picked a few distribution choices.
Usually, a large-scale parlay card is littered with overwhelming favorites, combined with a few long shots to increase the payout.
Choosing so many return games right is quite an achievement, but it does not come without calls.
The New York Islanders of the NHL, for example, went to a shootout with the Boston Bruins. It was a draw after two rounds before Anthony Beauvillier managed to give the Islands a 2-1 lead. Semyon Varlamov then stopped Brad Marchand for the win – basically a $ 1 million saving.
And the Longhorns repelled the Red Raiders by one point, 67-66.
It will always take a few breaks to win a 15-team match, and this bet caught everyone.
