Despite losing the final leg of a 16-team parlay during Week 2 of the NFL season, a bettor is set to receive a significant payout from BetMGM.
BR Betting broke down why the bettor is being given a $133,000 payment despite falling just short of completing the parlay:
The bettor picked every game on the Week 2 NFL slate as part of a $25 promotional parlay bet through BetMGM. The bettor did not receive a cash-out option since it was promotional, which led to BetMGM making an exception after the fact.
According to Pete Truszkowski of Yahoo Sports, every game the bettor picked was via the money line, meaning there were no point spreads involved.
