With all four major sports in North America currently being played on a nightly basis, gamblers have a plethora of options to lay down their hard earned cash on in hopes of parlaying it into a large pay day.
Over the weekend, one person was feeling extremely lucky and decided to wager one dollar on a extreme long-shot — a 5-leg, first basket NBA parlay, with a pay out of nearly $15K.
The bet was that Cade Cunningham, Paolo Banchero, Pascal Siakam, Nikola Vucevic and Luka Doncic would all make the first basket in their respective games. And wouldn’t you know it? Each of those players actually scored first and the bet came through!
That meant the lucky bettor was now $14,851.20 USD richer. Not a bad weekend at all.
It takes some skill, but also a lot of luck in order to cash in on a wager with such long odds. But you know what they say, you cannot win if you don’t play.
