Anyone who bets a parlay with seven teams is a dreamer.
Unlike the previous parlay, there was quite a bit of money placed on this one, $8,500, but the payout was huge. With the Lions securing the parlay win with a 24-10 victory over the Giants the bettor walked away with $250,000. This went down as one of the biggest parlays wins in the sports betting space. How many times have you placed a big parlay only to have it lose on the final game? Sure, you've picked 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 6 but it still pays the same as if you went 1 for 5 because if you.
Apr 05, 2020 'Tons of big winners on Saturday, but this bettor takes the cake. He turned $60 into $80,000 with a 20-team college football parlay.' This college basketball bettor cashed a 12-team parlay yesterday! The genius turned $5 into $12,000!' For casual bettors, hitting this type of epic parlay is the ultimate dream. They helped win this parlay genius with a +1737 payout times three. That’s $17,366.80 each, and a total win of $52,100.40 on $3000 worth of free bets. If you know this amazing Draftkings bettor, the TPN team is dying to do an interview about the thought process on this one.
You hope to hit all seven legs and get a huge payout. The win is especially large if you’re throwing some big underdogs on there. It’s not the way you should bet if you’re worried about things like bankroll management.
But, sometimes the lottery hits.
One bettor at MGM played an odd parlay on Tuesday. There were six teams from the Copa Libertadores soccer tournament in South America, and the Dodgers to win Game 1 of the World Series.

There were six matches in Copa Libertadores on Tuesday. If you’re going to build a seven-leg parlay when the NBA and NHL are done, the NFL isn’t playing and there are no scheduled college football games, you have to get creative. The bettor must have had a good read on the matches Tuesday, because he went 6-for-6.
That left the Dodgers.

The Dodgers were not a sweat after Cody Bellinger’s home run broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth inning.
The odds on a seven-team parlay are usually 90-to-1. But that’s for seven legs that have even odds. Every single soccer winner on that parlay was getting plus odds. That pushed up the odds on the seven-team parlay to about 2,579-to-1.
Parlays are hard to hit. There’s a reason those brightly colored cards aren’t far from any sportsbook counter. But for one bettor, he has a pretty good story to tell for the rest of his life.
