Tennis bettor turns $28 into $486,000 by nailing 10-match parlay

Although the Grand Slam season has concluded, one individual managed to secure a grand prize simply by staying engaged with tennis. According to Darren Rovell from Action Network, an unnamed bettor transformed a mere $28.60 into a staggering $486,021.92 by successfully hitting a 10-match parlay.

This remarkable windfall was the result of a series of events, and it wasn’t merely about selecting the winners. The bettor accurately predicted specific outcomes for some matches, such as Qinwen Zheng winning two out of three sets against Barbora Krejcikova in the Zhengzhou Open final on October 15th. Despite Krejcikova winning the first set 6-2, Zheng’s comeback contributed significantly to the massive payout.

The total winning odds amounted to +1699377 with an implied probability of just 0.01%. DraftKings’ public relations department confirmed that the fortunate bettor successfully cashed the ticket.

This wager stands out as one of the most improbable wins of the year. Other impressive bets include a $15 wager on a four-leg NFL parlay that turned into $68,186 this past Sunday, as reported by the New York Post.
