NFL bettor wins $20K with five-part wide receiver futures parlay

NFL bettors are starting to make money with futures bets, including this lucky FanDuel sportsbook gambler.

Before the season, FanDuel bettors bet hundreds of dollars on five different wide receivers to throw for over 1,000 yards.

All five had great seasons and good health overall, so now they're celebrating.

The odds were almost 100/1, +9537, or an implied probability of about 1.04.

The bettor won a whopping $20,029.08 on a $210 gamble.

While it seemed like a very real possibility a few months ago, the parlay has already been completed with one week left and came close to cashing in last week.

Chris Olave, George Pickens, DJ Moore and DeVonta Smith all topped 1,000 yards receiving within the last week.

Heading into Week 17, bettors needed only DK Metcalf, who was just two yards short of his marker, to reap the payout of a lifetime.

And sure enough, along came Metcalfe.

On the first play of the second quarter, Geno Smith connected with Metcalf on a 33-yard pass to surpass the 1,000 receiving yard milestone.

It seems easy now, but Olave was the only one with negative odds to reach 1,000 yards.

Smith and Metcalf slightly beat even odds at +105 and +135, respectively.

Moore and Pickens were the biggest longshots at +225 and +270.
