UK Bettor Wins Over $1.3 MILLION After English’s Win

Why don’t my parlays hit like this one did? Unbelievable. 

A UK bettor constructed a six-leg parlay, which would pay 90,396-1 if it hit. And it did.

The 6 legs…

• Croatia to defeat Scotland at +140.
• England to defeat Czech Republic at -182.
• Steve Stricker to win the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship at +500.
• Nelly Korda to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at +1,400.
• Viktor Hovland to win the BMW International Open at +650.
• Harris English to win the Travelers Championship at +3,500.

He told Betfair, the online book which the bet was placed through, that the first 3 golf bet were “good bets” but he was “unsure” about English. 

Watching the Travelers late Sunday afternoon must’ve been a heart attack. It took 8(!!!) playoff holes for Harris to get it done. 

“When he won the playoff, I was very relieved. I thought he had lost it after some wayward tee shots on the 18th hole. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when the winning putt went in. I couldn’t believe it.” – Bettor in Betfair company statement

The bet paid out £1,039,554, which converts to $1.36 million is US dollars.
