NFL bettors are starting to cash in on their futures wagers, including this lucky FanDuel Sportsbook gambler.
Before the season, a bettor at FanDuel wagered a couple hundred dollars on five different wide receivers to have 1,000 or more yards through the air.
Now, they’re celebrating, as all five came through with big seasons and full health across the board.
The odds were nearly 100/1, coming in at +9537, or an implied probability of about 1.04.
The bettor won a whopping $20,029.08 off a single $210 gamble.
It seemed like a long shot a few months ago, but the parlay already hit with a week to go and very nearly cashed in last week.
Chris Olave, George Pickens, DJ Moore and DeVonta Smith all broke 1,000 receiving yards before last week.
Heading into Week 17, the bettor only needed DK Metcalf — who was just two yards short of the marker — to win the payout of a lifetime.
And sure enough, Metcalf came through.
On the first play of the second quarter, Geno Smith connected with Metcalf on a 33-yard pass, pushing him past the 1,000 receiving yards milestone.
Betting on the NFL?
It looks easy now, but only Olave was minus-odds to hit the 1,000-yard number.
Smith and Metcalf were just over even odds at +105 and +135 respectively.
Moore and Pickens were the biggest long shots at +225 and +270.
