Bettor cashes $16K parlay payday with Vikings’ win
The Minnesota Vikings’ overtime upset of the New Orleans Saints on Sunday capped an 11-team parlay worth nearly $16,000 for a DraftKings bettor.
The bettor’s first 10 legs won Saturday, leaving it all up to the Vikings to cover an alternate line of minus 2½ against the Saints. Minnesota blew a 20-10 lead going into the fourth quarter, but Kyle Rudolph hauled in a 4-yard touchdown pass on the first possession of overtime to clinch the bet (Saints fans’ cries of offensive pass interference notwithstanding).
The $25 wager paid $15,986.25, according to a release.
The bettor dug deep into the menu to create the long-shot win. The first 10 legs of the parlay were:
One NFL side:
* Tennessee +14½ (alternate line) against New England (won 20-13).
Two NBA sides:
* Boston -2½ over Chicago (won 111-104).
* Detroit -3½ over Golden State (won 111-104).
Two NBA totals:
* Over 214½ (alternate line) in New Orleans-Sacramento (232).
* Over 206½ (alternate line) in Toronto-Brooklyn (223).
Five NBA player props:
* Denver center Nikola Jokic to record a double-double against Washington (14 points, 10 rebounds).
* Indiana center Domantas Sabonis to record a double-double against Atlanta (25 points, 11 rebounds).
* Cleveland guard Darius Garland over 3½ assists against Oklahoma City (seven).
* Utah forward Joe Ingles over 2½ 3-pointers made against Orlando (three).
* Dallas guard Luka Doncic over 31½ points against Charlotte (39).
