Bettor turns $25 off-brand soccer parlay into $479K

Updated October 25, 2023 - 7:06 pm

A DraftKings bettor turned a $25 bonus bet into almost half a million dollars Saturday after hitting a 15-leg soccer parlay.

The wager, comprised of teams from several European soccer leagues, paid $478,850.31, a 19,154 to 1 long shot.

Thirteen of the legs were on the money line, which is the odds on a team to win a game, regardless of the spread. The other two legs were on both teams to score in a game.

Here are the 15 legs:

Napoli, Freiburg, RB Leipzig, Stuttgart, Leverkusen, Accrington, Wolverhampton, Brentford, Southampton, Mansfield Town, Newcastle, Leeds, Leicester City, Colchester-Harrogate Town (both teams to score), Gillingham-Notts County (both teams to score).

DraftKings doesn’t operate in Nevada.
