This is the most insane winning parlay I've ever seen. And with the last leg resting on a golf match that went deep into a playoff. Would have had a heart attack watching myself

Best parlay ypu ever won or seen a story on?

One time, i bet 7 dollars with the winning chance (i don't remember correctly) like 1.5 % and WON! In return i got 170 dollars and was too happy about that. But few bets later, my bankroll decreased to 105 dollars and I decided that my luck is over. So i just took my reward and invest it to shitcoin on Yobit (This was also enough successful investment, but this is another story)

+3,500
+1,400
+650
+500

This was almost the same as betting on a lottery wherein the chances of winning are low. And according to the bettor, he was sure betting to +1400, +650, and +500 pick. He is against at those analysts on that case.

The bettor is maybe a regular fan of betting parlays on a small amounts. After maybe several years of trying, he finally hits the jackpot.

A long time ago I used to bet insane parlays everyday with a buddy from work. We would only put a dollar in every day, but we hit a few for a couple thousand dollars. I think it’s important to remember while looking at the wins is great, this gambler probably had many losses to go along with it. Still though, this is obviously a huge life changing win. This is the sort of story that brings people to bet.

Wow, possibly one of the longest successful parlays I've ever seen. I bet the bookmaker was trying too buy him out of the bet all the way until the end and it's to their credit that they have paid it out. Parlays tend to be where bookmakers will make most of their profits, because people who are placing the bets usually don't realize the odds get exponentially worse against you the more bets that you string together. Wouldn't feel too sorry for the bookmaker though, because for every mega long shot single bet like this you know they are making ten million bets that pay off in their favor.

I wonder how will the dude be able to comprehend that he won such an amount though, as even the most hardcore gamblers and bettors would surely be shocked that they won the jackpot of their lifetime.

I don't speak for everyone but I think that he won't be thinking right for the first few hours or days on what to do with that amount of money because I have seen people and read stories of people that got a lot of money in such a short time and quickly wasted it on luxury and ludicrous stuff which quickly depleted the money.

they should not spend the money if they are shocked and dont know what to do but if they spend in imediately and lost it faster ,
that means they have been planning before if where will they spend the money .
having a plan is okay but they should have a plan too of saving the money for good so that it will last a lifetime .

When it comes to money winnings from gambling then its none of our business on how a gambler would be spending it because those money won is just easy as breeze and as expected

it would be spent out as breeze too and as a gambler then most likely you would really be ending on that path.Its just great to see on how this man make that 15 bucks to millions.

Almost an impossible thing to happen considering on the odds and who had thought that it would hit out? Parlays are great but these things are moneymakers of most bookies.

Yeah, I agree, this is insane winning, and on a parlay that is really hard to do.

I hit a couple of parlays in NBA, like x12 is the most I hit, with 4-5 winnings. I just got lucky I guess, and I still wanted to hit like x100 but it is very difficult because you can't really be so sure. Even the favourite can lost. I have a team which lead by 18 only to falter in the fourth quarter and obviously my parlays got destroyed.

People that truly make it in gambling are the ones like this, the amount of money won is life changing and life transforming, I believe anyone that uses small amount of money to win such big amount is not even seeing the winning coming at all, while the people that uses high amount on low odds staked can still lose. Sport outcomes can be unpredictable at times which can give some people that chances of wining.

This is what magical spells gambling can make into your life and these unpredictable wins can definitely make you live some luxury life within days.But it is rare chance and we can't expect everytime such huge wins on that low level bets.Most people actually don't anticipate that much winnings from bets they have placed but sometimes you can't see that coming and you hit the jackpot.So we must give a try with amount we can afford to loose and enjoy our journey along and if lucky we can hit that one day also.

That's unbelievable! There are really people who are born lucky in gambling wherein they could make a small amount of money huge. I guess that person is still in shock since that isn't a small amount of money. As for me, he's really destined to get that prize. I believe that winning such an amount is still a person's destiny. Let's just hope that more people would be as lucky as him in the future.

This is both luck and skill! You can't just be lucky and randomly choose soccer matches and winners in the weekend's golf tournaments... I guess this guy follows soccer and golf, he had some hunch and he tried it with $15! As you can see in the article:

Quote

"I was sure that Hovland, Korda and Steve Stricker were good bets," the unidentified bettor told Betfair. "But I was a little unsure on Harris English."

He knew what he is doing! And yes he had the luck to win this... I just wish to say it's not pure luck! The bet was placed June 22 and paid out at 90,396-1 odds! It's like crazy odds to hit! Congrats to the winner, I hope he will hit something similar again one day!

I am not familiar with the names and even with the leagues they're playing in, but I don't understand. How could they be favorites when the odds are very high on them? Even the lowest among the four, Steve Stricker's +500 odds is still very high. If we convert that to decimals, that would be 6.00, or your $100 would win $500. I guess that means Steve winning the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship is less expected.

The last time I bet on a parlay if I remember it right my odds were like 1.06 to 1.30.

I don't follow golf as well but the reason why the odds are that high even for favorites is because they are outright bets meaning they have to win all the way plus there's always the risk of favorites getting eliminated early.

Also it was mentioned that he took them before the tournament started so favorites that are priced at 5.00 is normal in terms of outright betting then the odds eventually go down even more once they progress in the tournament.

This is dope! But having combined those six legs on a parlay, with four of which highly underdogs, was like betting on a lottery. This was almost impossible to win. With four legs on odds as high as +500, +1,400, +650, +3,500, you've got to be crossing your fingers and pray that all the upsets in the world be happening in your parlay bet. Oh well, sometimes the unbelievable happens, too!

I wouldn't say impossible, the only underdog he took was the +3500 while the other three were more or less favorites to win the tournament but still it's impressive.

If I had the same bet i'd probably cashed out that ticket so props to him for letting the ticket ride until the end.

Well that's probably one of the craziest bets that somebody ever won. Congratulations to that guy. I would imagine he did this bet just for fun probably while he was drunk

because he only bet 15$ so even if he had lost the bet he would not have a significant loss. So i would put this monumental win not under the category "a bet that was won because of great knowledge of the sports and thorough research" but more in the category "once in a lifetime lucky bet comparable to hitting the jackpot in a big national lottery draw", so i don't think that we can learn anything here from that bet, but it still shows what is possible if everything aligns in your way.

I do parlays and just "bet and forget" as I don't really want to stress myself out on watching too many games and hoping for all of them to win. It's really difficult to bet parlay and do an actual win, even on bets that on paper, looks obvious that it will hit and then afterwards it wouldn't. I wonder how will the dude be able to comprehend that he won such an amount though, as even the most hardcore gamblers and bettors would surely be shocked that they won the jackpot of their lifetime.

If I'm the person who bet on it? I'll probably don't want to watch the last leg, too much excitement for me. I might as well check the scores later and hope that I will win my bet.

I haven't done parlay betting though, just singles in sports like basketball and football or sometimes tennis. The thing with parlays is sometimes you already had a good run, but it will be ruined by someone that you don't expect to lose in the end.

Holy f, that's quite the insane win right there. it's pretty amazing that the condition actually managed to go through, especially since it had that insane odds due to how difficult the feat was. This was literally a lottery imo, a one out of how many odds chances of winning. Not really something I'd suggest for gamblers to actually do since it's a really hard feat to pull it off, not to mention that you aren't necessarily the one pulling it off but rather the player. Still, very big well played from me!

Yes, it is actually hard to win, even only few people can win such a game, like out of millions of people, not up to 10 can win, but in contrast to your other opinion, I can advice people to play such game, betting is not about looking for high stake and low odds, it is about using lillte amount of money to stake big and maybe you will hit the jackpot one day, I mean win the huge amount in a bet. This is just life changing, the winner would have risked in the past, but he later gained a life changing profit. If I were the man, I will leave gambling for now and establish businesses.

You've got to be the luckiest guy on earn or a prophet to have picked the winners and won millions with $15. I have no idea what this PGA Tour is about but winning it all definitely is in a million bet, very rare and it's worthy to have it on the headline for sportsbooking news. I doubt this will ever happen in crypto. Congrats to him.

There seems to be a surge of this kind of story this year because one of my friends show me someone bet about 250 USD and got around 2k USD in return in a basketball game and the one he betted on has a +11 but it wasn't needed after all because the team mopped the floor of the other team. But this thread is more impressive because the person betted such a small amount and got a really big win.
