Sports betting certainly isn't an exact science. Sometimes, it's just about luck. One bettor had some insane luck on Wednesday, when they hit on a 23-leg parlay to win a whopping $532,000.

The best part? The bettor only placed $1.10 on the lucky wager, which carried +90869356 odds.


Let's be real, you can't purchase much for $1.10 these days. The days are gone in which you could get a gallon of gas or a cheeseburger at McDonald's for a dollar. However, this bettor found a way to turn a small sum into a life-changing amount of money.


This particular bettor's parlay featured a mixture of spread and moneyline bets across the 23 legs. Interestingly enough, not every leg ending up being a winner.

Saint Louis was an 11-point favorite against Saint Joseph's and won the game 72-61, so that leg ended up being push. If Saint Louis would've covered the spread, the bettor's payout would've been even larger.


Some people just have some tremendous luck when it comes to sports betting, but this one definitely takes the cake. Winning 5-10 legs off a small wager is one thing, but 23 legs is beyond crazy.

I might just be a cynic, because I'm calling bullshit on this. The only "proof" is a betting ticket on FanDuel...i could Photoshop that thing up in less than an hour.

I dont have access to FanDuel sportsbook, but I think it is dubious that they would even allow a 23-leg parlay of all money lines for a dollar.

I just checked on Draftkings and the largest parlay they allow is a 20-leg one.

Yes, same for me on FanDuel.

That said, B-R_Betting posted it and they have a partnership with DK, so they're legit. If they confirmed it, I'm sure it's legit.

So FanDuel made a special exception to allow someone to play a 23-leg parlay just to open themselves up to the chance of paying someone half a million on a $1 bet...Sounds perfectly legit.

They will now make millions $1.10 at a time.

Rules are different in each state, so I can’t say for certain.

If they make $4M for each payout of $500k it is probably a good business decision to allow that kind of bet.
