Let's look at this rationally. He lost 19 carnitas tacos on Taco Tuesday.

And @m0nkey thought he had a bad beat.

All is well. The bettor took the payout option before the game for 133k.

I was wondering about that. Pretty much a no-brainer.

You can do that?

Yes. It's big overseas with their apps and sports books. A buddy of mine bets on the soccer games and the casino/app even updates payouts by the minute and odds of payouts....if they think they are going to lose as the game keeps going the payouts will change.

This bettor went through the MGM app. Same concept, the casino would rather payout 133k than 700k or whatever it was if he hits.

Sounds like deal or no deal

Kind of, but by the second.

My favorite one was a dude at a pub one morning for the soccer games. Dude's team sucked and was even playing, but just for shits and giggles bet against the team everyone was there to see for a laugh. At halftime he took the other team down 3-1 to tie or win and threw a couple bucks at it getting ridiculous odds....again just for the laughs as there was no way this lower team was going to comeback against one of the best teams in the league. Well, the team losing 3-1 started making the comeback of all comebacks. Every time the team scored on the comeback they would alert him of payout options and he kept refusing. They offered up close to full payout as the game was winding down, but then the superior team looked like they were going to score towards the end and you saw the odds changing in real time on the payout every time he hit refresh. It was pretty cool.

He held on and won to which he just looked over at us and said, "Drinks on me boys"

Bettor turns $50 wager into $1.1M by hitting ridiculous 15-leg parlay

Impressive.  

Quote

The parlay featured bets on eight college teams, three NHL teams, two NFL teams, one NBA team and a golfer.
