If I was going to start betting on sports, this is exactly how I’d do it.
According to offshore bookmaker Bovada, one gambler put down $2 on an extraordinarily improbable parlay and walked away with $1,131.58.
The bettor, identified only as Nate, bet at odds of +2,000 that there wouldn’t be a single touchdown in the first half of the Super Bowl and at +2,599 that Tom Brady’s first pass of the game would be picked off. Parlayed together, he got odds of +56,579.
So when that exact scenario played out, Nate won $1,131.58. From betting the change in his pocket.
