In a remarkable feat of sports betting, a Fanatics Sportsbook customer turned a $10 wager into a $37,013 payout by hitting an astounding 22-leg NHL parlay. The bettor correctly predicted the outcomes of 22 separate NHL games, defying the astronomical odds of over 3,700-to-1 against such a feat. This massive payout is just one of several notable sports betting wins reported in the past week, including a $468,750 windfall for a bettor who wagered on Cameron Young to win The Players Championship and a $241,109 payday for a bettor who hit a two-leg parlay involving Penn and Purdue.

Why it matters

This story highlights the potential for massive payouts in sports betting, even from relatively small wagers, as well as the incredible skill and luck required to hit such long-shot parlays. It also underscores the growing popularity and excitement around sports betting, especially as major events like March Madness and the PGA Tour season ramp up.

The details

The 22-leg NHL parlay bet included two player prop bets from each of the 11 NHL games played on March 7. The bettor correctly predicted outcomes such as Nikola Jokić recording over 13.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists, Luka Dončić recording over 8.5 assists and 7.5 rebounds, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recording over 4.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists. The astronomical odds of +370,030 (or just over 3,700-to-1) were boosted by a profit-boost promo, resulting in the massive $37,013 payout on the $10 wager.
