An unnamed FanDuel Sportsbook user took the bonus they received and used it on a two-leg wager tied to the final scores of both conference championship games.
Odds for the exact score are some of the longest for any football game.
The exact score in the 27-24 Bengals comeback win over the Kansas City Chiefs had odds of +22000, meaning a $100 bet on that being the final score would have paid out $22,000. The 20-17 outcome with the Rams edging the San Francisco 49ers had odds of +13000.
When combined, the parlay had odds of +2895000. That’s an implied probability of .03 percent or something that would likely happen three times in 10,000 tries.
Even FanDuel’s social media department, which like most sports betting operators’ social media departments 메이저놀이터 loves to promote outrageous parlays, couldn’t believe this one.
There’s NO WAY. There’s just NO WAY. The most INSANE parlay you’ll ever see, guaranteed,” FanDuel tweeted after the Rams win.

One bettor turned $2 into a $58,000 win playing the same scores, he said in a Sunday night email. Another bet $5 to get $145,000.
