Yuri Andrade absolutely stole the show in the second half of Super Bowl LV between the Tampa Bay Bucs and Kansas City Chiefs when he decided he was going to run out on the field and disrupt the game for a few minutes.
Days after the game, it would soon be reported that Andrade was in line to win upward of $370,000 after his crazy stunt because he allegedly put in a $50,000 bet on someone running onto the field during the game via Bovada which offered a +750 odds. There were also reports that he had a friend cause a diversion so he would be free to jump over the fences and run into the gridiron.
He got a few seconds to run before he slid down at the goal line and got arrested.
Unfortunately, him coming out with that information screwed him and others as Bovada officially voided his bet due to tampering.
“Our players have always trusted us to ensure the integrity of all props offered in our sportsbook,” a Bovada spokesperson told Front Office Sports. “We will continue to make sure that any publicity stunts or ill-intended behavior cannot adversely affect the outcome of a player’s wager.”
So in the end, the streaker got arrested for trespassing, a $500 bond to avoid jail time, and his 15 minutes of fame are officially over.
