DraftKings Bettor Wins $21,900 with 'Impossible' $25 Parlay
A DraftKings bettor turned a $25 parlay into a $21,900 win, thanks to a late home run and an accidental odds boost from home depot. The bettor, who was not confident in their picks, described the parlay as 'impossible'. It involved four players hitting home runs in a playoff game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners. The original bet had odds of +70,000. In an unexpected turn of events, Addison Barger (or 'Berger or something') hit a home run in the top of the 9th inning, securing the win.
The bettor's luck didn't stop there. They had accidentally applied a 25% odds boost to their bet, causing the odds to jump to +87,500. This mistake turned their $25 bet into a $21,900 winner. The game itself was a high-scoring affair, with a total of eight home runs hit, tying the MLB playoff record.
The bettor's accidental odds boost and late home run turned a seemingly impossible bet into a significant win. The game between the Blue Jays and Mariners provided plenty of excitement, both on and off the field.
