The recent college graduate who was hoping to turn his $13 five-pick parlay into $270,762 has finally been defeated.
Drew Hirschmann’s streak was going strong, with the LA Dodgers, New York Liberty, and Philadelphia Eagles winning their respective championships. He was waiting on the Oilers to come out victorious in the Stanley Cup and for the Oklahoma City Thunder to claim the NBA Championship.
Edmonton Oilers eventually losing the Stanley Cup on Tuesday to the Florida Panthers
The value of his cash-out continued to drop with each loss in the respective series. Then, the Edmonton Oilers eventually lost the Stanley Cup on Tuesday to the Florida Panthers, thus ending the 24-year-old’s wager.
Even if the Oilers managed to turn things around, the Oklahoma City Thunder are no guarantee to win the NBA Finals, as they hold only a narrow 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The upside of the entire situation is that the currently unemployed graduate managed to hedge some of the return, taking home at least $50,000 for his troubles after getting help from his father, who’s an actuary.
