It can be hard to resist the urge to throw money down on a longshot parlay, especially when you consider the many stories about people who turned a fairly tiny sum into a massive jackpot—including an NBA bettor who made bank with the help of some 3-pointers.
If you’re a sports betting veteran, you likely know sportsbooks love parlays just as much as members of the general public due to the number of people who routinely convince themselves this will definitely be the day they manage to defy the odds and hit a 14-leg bet with a quintuple digit return.
Those bets usually don’t pan out, but there are people who’ve managed to win big, like one NBA fan who turned 77 cents into $18K last year and another who cashed in after three players improbably posted a triple-double on the same night.
Now, we’ve been treated to another triumph courtesy of the bettor who took a look at the slate of NBA games scheduled for Tuesday and locked in a couple of six-leg parlays in the hopes the following players would hit a certain number of 3-pointers when everything was said and done.
The first slip, which set them back $10 and came in at +622753, looked like this:
- Wendell Carter Jr: 2 or more (+230)
- Jaylen Brown: 3 or more (+230)
- Herbert Jones: 3 or more (+500)
- Josh Hart: 3 or more (+310)
- Cade Cunningham: 4 or more (+650)
- Michael Porter Jr: 4 or more (+210)
The bettor also placed another wager for $15 while pegging Cunningham’s total at three treys (+230), which lowered the overall odds to +265650.
When everything was said and done, Carter Jr., Brown, Hart, and Porter ended up with the bare minimum required, Cunningham hit four, and Jones exceeded expectations by drilling five shot from behind the arc, which meant the bettor walked away with a grand total of $102,147.98 courtesy of FanDuel.
