a mouth-watering $382,000 from a $100 wager
One of these bettors in particular was clearly rubbing their hands for the return of professional football. In June, they placed a 16-pick for Week 1 of the action. With odds of +382924, the Hard Rock Bet user won a mouth-watering $382,000 from a $100 wager:
They were just waiting on one final result, with the Chicago Bears looking like they were going to cut the parlay short on Monday Night Football with a commanding 17-6 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Vikings staged a comeback though, scoring 21 unanswered points in three consecutive drives to ensure that the bettor won their wager.
The parlay is even more impressive given that many of the 16 Week 1 games were won by underdogs.
