Every so often, screenshots of fan outrageous parlays make the rounds on social media. The latest comes from a man whose five-pick, $13 futures parlay with odds of +2,082,680 will pay out $270,762 if successful.
The first three selections of the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Liberty, and the Philadelphia Eagles to win their league championships have already hit, so now he just needs the Edmonton Oilers to capture the Stanley Cup and Oklahoma City Thunder to win the NBA Championship.
Oilers won the first game in the best-of-seven series against the Florida Panthers
Someone caught up with the bettor on Wednesday night after the Oilers won the first game in the best-of-seven series against the Florida Panthers in overtime. He appears to be confident about his chances, wearing a t-shirt showing his parlay bet slip:
The current cash-out for the bet is $123,614, but the bettor plans to resist taking an early profit.
The Oilers are the favorites with sportsbooks to go the distance. The Oklahoma City Thunder play at home in the first game of the NBA Finals on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers, a team which has defied the odds so far this season despite being heavy underdogs throughout the playoffs.
