This is what betting dreams are made of.
At the Riverwalk Casino in Mississippi, a confident bettor had $25 in hand and knew exactly how he wanted to spend it. What would come of it would be the greatest parlay wager ever to hit at a U.S. sportsbook.
BetAmerica, the sportsbook operator for Riverwalk, said a bettor placed a $25, 20-leg parlay that featured point spreads, money lines and over/unders on a mix of Friday night NBA and college basketball games.
The entire ticket backed 14 favorites, three underdogs and three overs. He/She hit on EVERYTHING.
The results turned that $25 into an insane $104,412.44.

“We know players are excited about it, and the [Mississippi] market has been interested in parlays,” Stremel told ESPN. “People like the potential payouts when putting it all together.”
“We look forward to the rest of the action,” Stremel said.
