Grand Slam season may be over, but one person earned quite a grand prize by continuing to follow tennis. An unnamed bettor turned $28.60 into $486,021.92 by hitting a 10-match parlay, according to Action Network’s Darren Rovell.
The surprising return came from multiple events, and it wasn’t just about picking the winners.
The bettor correctly predicted the exact score for some of the matches — including Qinwen Zheng winning two out of three sets against Barbora Krejcikova in the Zhengzhou Open final on Oct. 15. The bettor might have been nervous because Krejcikova actually won the first set, 6-2, but Zheng came back and contributed to the massive payout.
The total winning odds were +1699377 with an implied probability of .01%. According to Rovell, the DraftKings public relations department confirmed that the lucky bettor has been able to claim the prize.
This bet made for one of the most unlikely winners from this year. Other impressive bets recently include a $15 wager on a four-leg NFL parlay that turned into $68,186 this past Sunday, as reported by the New York Post.
