The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams weren’t the only big winners on Sunday. An NFL bettor turned his $20 bonus into $579,020, thanks to an incredible bet.
An unnamed FanDuel Sportsbook user took their bonus and used it in a two-leg bet tied to the final results of each of the Conference Championship matches.
The exact score odds are some of the longest in any football game.
The exact score in the 27-24 win for the Bengals to come back against the Kansas City Chiefs had odds of +22,000, which means a $100 bet on the end result would have paid out $22,000. The result of 20-17 as the Rams beat San Francisco 49 was a +13000 shootout.
When combined, the odds of the premium were +2895000. That’s an implied probability of 0.3 percent, or something that’s three times more likely to happen in 10,000 attempts.
Even FanDuel’s social media department, which like most social media departments of sports betting operators loves to promote outrageous fees, couldn’t believe this.
There is no way. There is no way. The craziest game you’ll ever see, guaranteed,” FanDuel tweeted after the Rams’ victory.
$20 → $579K 🤯🤯🤯
There is . There is only .
The most investment you will ever see, guaranteed.

FanDuel Advertising Director Kevin Hennessy said, Casino.org This person wasn’t the only one taking advantage of such a strange bet.
Turning $2 into a $58,000 win, one bookmaker said in an email on Sunday night and is achieving the same results. Last $5 bet to get $145,000.

Sports betting operators love to promote fees. Yes, it can lead to large payouts for bettors. However, they ask bettors to choose the correct outcome of multiple chances in order to cash out. One loser in the whole group, and there goes the bet.
And for every winning bet promoted by online sports betting, dozens of losing bets recorded end up only in the final result.
Sales are profit drivers for sports books. According to data from the Nevada Gaming Commission, investment cards generated 32.1 percent. This rate is much higher than single event bets. For comparison, the percentage of bets on football was 3.7%.
