It was a massive longshot — 10493-1, to be exact — but when the Seattle Seahawks completed a wild victory against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football, one bettor in New Jersey turned a $2 prayer of a parlay into a $20,987.04 reality.
The nine-team parlay — which included the moneylines of the Browns, Bucs, Jets, Titans, Dolphins, Vikings, Bears, Falcons and Seahawks and was placed at DraftKings — did not come through without a sweat.
The bet ended with an OT thriller on Monday Night Football, as San Francisco mounted a furious fourth-quarter comeback (on two different occasions) to force the extra period.
