Thrifty bettor would cash $147k on 85 cent, 14-leg parlay if Buckeyes win CFP

The parlay heard ‘round the world landed on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday morning.

All it needs to reach the finish line: Ohio State winning the 12-team College Football Playoff, which is hardly far-fetched. And the wager is arguably the craziest one you’ve ever seen: 85 cents on a 14-leg parlay.
It’s a mix of March Madness, the NBA All-Star Game, NBA, and NHL futures, along with UFC and boxing outcomes. It’s capped by college football’s national champion.

As the CFP begins, the first 13 legs are all in. The bettor only needs Ohio State to win it all: $147,507.44.

Unless the bettor first sells his ticket. He’s currently got it listed on PropSwap, a secondary marketplace specializing in selling sports betting tickets. Think StubHub but for sports bets and typically for futures wagers and parlays.

PropSwap founder and CEO Luke Pergande found the ticket eye-popping, to say the least.

“It’s the best bet I’ve seen this year. Eighty-five cents buys literally nothing in this economy,” Pergande told FOX Sports.

Pocket-Change Parlay

Back on Feb. 12, a FanDuel Sportsbook customer, who perhaps only had 85 cents in his account, decided to utilize that couch-cushion money in the wildest possible way.

The parlay opened by taking the NBA All-Star Game Over, on a total of 363.5 points. That was one of the easier legs, as the East beat the West 211-186, for 397 total points.

So the first leg was in. But 13 more legs to go? Seriously?

However, one by one, over the course of the next three months, the parlay remained alive.

Takuma Inoue scored a ninth-round knockout of Jerwin Ancajas in a WBA title bout on Feb. 24. Then UConn won the NCAA men’s basketball championship on April 8.

April 13 was a particularly key day, the end of the NBA regular season. Five legs of this bettor’s parlay hinged on division champions, and he hit them all:

There were some serious sweats on that portion of the parlay. Oklahoma City and Denver tied with straight-up (SU) wins at 57-25, but the Thunder won the tiebreaker. Milwaukee, Orlando, and Dallas won their respective divisions by one game.
