Gamblers at Caesars Sportsbook hit the big win in a stunning multi-sports futures parlay on Thursday night.
The triple-feature bet accurately predicted the matchups and outcomes of the Super Bowl (18-1) and College Football National Championship (+550), as well as the Mavericks winning the NBA’s Western Conference.
The odds on this bet were +197500, with an implied probability of about 0.05.
The bettor won a whopping $98,750 in December on just a single $50 bet.
It wasn’t easy.
The bet was doomed almost from the start when Michigan lost to Alabama in the Rose Bowl.
A late comeback from the Wolverines helped keep the game in play.
Just hours later, Washington beat Texas in the Sugar Bowl in a close game that was the Huskies’ toughest since they were underdogs.
A month later, the Chiefs and 49ers both qualified for the Super Bowl, leaving it up to the Mavericks to win the wild parlay.
The Mavericks were a longshot in the conference throughout the regular season, with BetMGM Sportsbook having Dallas at +1800 to advance from the West in early February.
Do you bet on the NBA?
But two key players acquired at the trade deadline proved to be exactly what Luka Doncic and the team needed to win.
They upset all three series en route to the final, helping the sports bettor win the biggest prize of his life.
