Wayne Shelton is a single father who just became $80,960.17 richer after a staggering $100 bet was cashed out by a bettor.
In a best-of-three parlay at DraftKings Sportsbook, the Texas Rangers won the World Series (22/1) and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl (+600), but all went to the Oklahoma City Thunder. At stake – top seed in the Western Conference, winning the NBA Finals (70/1).
If he survived it and the Thunder got lucky on their way to an NBA Finals win, that $100 bet would have netted just over $1.7 million.
“It was a great ride. I ended up going to a playoff game in OKC.” Shelton said in a video posted to X on Tuesday.. “And when it comes to cashing out, there has been quite a bit of ups and downs, starting at $11,000, going up to $100,000, going down to $30,000, and now at $80,000.
“As I said last night, [Monday] If (the Thunder) win this game and offer me at least $80,000, I'm going to walk. Well, they're offering $80,000, so I don't think you can get much more than that. I'd like to keep going, but I'm a single father so the money would be great. ”
The total parlay odds should have been 11,430/1, but thanks to a well-placed 50% parlay boost, the bet price now stands at 17,145/1.
The Rangers and Chiefs won their respective titles, and the Thunder earned home court advantage by clinching the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, but are 2-2 against the Mavericks in the semifinal series heading into Wednesday's crucial game. I will be there. Five.
Rather than risk going home with $0, Shelton cashed out with the Thunder, six wins away from making the NBA Finals.
After dominating the Pelicans in the first round, the Thunder continued their back-and-forth in the Western Conference semifinal series against Luka Doncic's Mavericks.
In Game 4, the Thunder regained home court advantage with a 100-96 victory after falling behind by 14 points.
This heartbreaking game, worth tens of thousands of dollars to him, was the last game in a wild parlay ride for Shelton, but he saw his cashout drop dramatically in Game 4. was a bit unwieldy.
Could he have gotten more after the win? Almost definitely.
Cashing out is never the best value given the futures bet you want to pay out.
Instead, astute bettors turn to secondary markets such as prop swaps and wager wires to grab more money when selling bets.
Secondary market prop swap told the Post it had received multiple six-figure offers for the bet but was unable to contact Shelton.
According to Wager Wire, the real value if a buyer is found is $190,500.
