One gambler who had been waiting a long time on a parlay to hit saw his work finally pay off on Thursday night.
An unidentified Caesars Sportsbook bettor won nearly $100,000 when predicting outcomes in three sports' championship games.
The three-leg parlay predicted the exact outcome of the Super Bowl as well as the College Football Playoff National Championship game along with the Mavericks winning the Western Conference Finals.
All combined, the $50 wager had odds of +197500 and he took back $98,800 when combined with his initial bet.
Considering everything that happened on the way to getting there, this was not an easy parlay to sweat out.
One Mavericks bettor was stoked after Dallas reached the NBA Finals, sealing his parlay
The bettor had been waiting a while for this parlay to cash with his earlier football bets
For starters, the Michigan Wolverines fell behind to Alabama in the Rose Bowl and needed overtime to eek out a win over the Crimson Tide.
Then, the Washington Huskies were able to win a nail-biter over the Texas Longhorns in the Sugar Bowl - securing both of their spots in the CFP title game.
That title game itself was something of a breeze for the bettor as Michigan cruised to an easy victory.
But he faced adversity again after correctly guessing that the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers would meet in the Super Bowl.
That contest went to overtime - with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs surviving to win yet another title.
All that was left was Dallas - who were longshots to win the conference throughout the regular season.
But some trade deadline acquisitions perfectly suited Doncic and co.'s title aspirations and they stormed through the Western Conference in the playoffs.
