Man Turns 23-Team Football Parlay Into $25,772, Only Took One Underdog

By: Stephen Douglas | October 23, 2012 10:52 am ET

How difficult would it be go 23-0 picking football winners over a 3-day span? Well, one man did just that last weekend. He put $100 on a 23-team parlay and it hit, paying him $25,772. He took the 49ers and the Oregon Ducks on Thursday night and then an additional 21 teams on Saturday’s college football slate. On such a complicated bet, why did he throw an NFL game in there? In addition to that seemingly random pick, he selected a single underdog – #4 Kansas State on the road against West Virginia. That’s a lot of chalk, but you can’t argue with the results. Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather is waiting for that next perfect bet that he can show off on Twitter. My guess? The second quarter over in Pacers – Cavaliers tonight. Guy’s a pro. [via Beyond the Bets]

Easiest bet of the day to win due to KSU being lucky with fumbles and whatnot.

That’s pretty awesome. Just remember you lose like 40% of that on taxes.

A 4-pick pays 11:1 and a 23 pick pays 250:1? I would have guessed significantly more. What kind of degenerate lays $100 on a 23 pick?

Was wondering why the payout was so low, it was a Moneyline parlay…

I put $25 on Cj2K to have the most rushing yds in week 7 at 9:1 odds. I feel like I won the lottery considering how bad he’s been most of the season

I was to udnerstand this was going to be Denard and company exercising demons and running roughshod over a bad Spartan team due to Michigan’s unbelievable stats in recent games in a schedule harder than Notre Dame’s.

If MSU had played not to lose. They win that game. Also didn’t help that Bell was at about 60%. MSU’s OC should have been replaced 4 weeks ago.
