Mavericks’ NBA Finals berth wins bettor $99,000 with wild three-sport parlay

A Caesars Sportsbook gambler won big on an insane multi-sport futures parlay that came true Thursday night.

The three-leg bet predicted the exact Super Bowl (18-1) and college football national championship (+550) matchups and outcomes, along with the Mavericks winning the NBA‘s Western Conference.

The wager had +197500 odds for or an implied probability of about 0.05.

The bettor won a whopping $98,750 off a single $50 gamble he placed way back in December.

It didn’t come easy.

The parlay was almost dead right off the bat when Michigan fell behind Alabama during the Rose Bowl.

A late comeback from the Wolverines kept it alive.

Just a few hours later, Washington won a nail-biter over Texas in the Sugar Bowl, marking down the toughest leg of the parlay since the Huskies were underdogs. 

A month later, the Chiefs and 49ers secured Super Bowl berths, leaving it up to the Mavericks to win the wild parlay.

The Mavericks were conference long shots throughout the regular season – BetMGM Sportsbook had Dallas as long as +1800 to come out of the West in early February. 


Betting on the NBA?


But a couple of key additions at the trade deadline proved to be just what Luka Doncic and co. needed to make a run.

They pulled off upsets in all three series en route to their Finals berth, helping this sports bettor earn the payout of a lifetime.
