Inside the Article:
If you are a sports bettor, you are certainly familiar with FanDuel, and you are probably aware of some of the cool bets you can place. One type of bet that can be placed is on who you think will score the first touchdown of a game. You can generally get solid odds on those types of bets, but the only way you win is if that exact player scores the first touchdown of the game. For example, Travis Kelce was +600 to score the first touchdown of Saturday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars. What that means is that if you bet $100, you would win $600 profit if Kelce scores the first touchdown, which he did. But, one bettor took things three steps further.
What was the Bet?
As you already guessed, this particular bettor did not only get +600 on Kelce to score the first TD in his game, but he parlayed that along with three other players to score the first TD in their respective games.
Here is the $5 bet that was placed by a young man by the name of Cameron Craig.
- Travis Kelce 1st TD Scorer +600
- Dallas Goedert 1st TD Scorer +1200
- Ja’Marr Chase 1st TD Scorer +900
- Dalton Schultz 1st TD Scorer +1500
All of those put together in a parlay meant Craig bet $5 for the chance of winning $72,795!
Cash out for almost $1,400? Nope.
On Saturday, Kelce and Goedert took care of business for Craig by scoring the first TD in their respective games, and then, on Sunday, Chase held up his end of the bargain by scoring the first TD in his game.
As you can see below, FanDuel gave Craig the option to cash out for $1,393.56 after the first legs of the parlay came through.
Celebration time!
Instead of cashing out, Craig decided to let it ride, and as you have probably figured out by now, it paid off in a BIG way.
During Sunday’s game between the Cowboys and 49ers, Craig needed Dalton Schultz to score the first TD and that is exactly what happened.
Take a look as Craig actually recorded the moment that he won a whopping $72,795 off of a $5 bet.
Congrats, Cameron!
