A little background here from Crossing Broad Flyers writer and Snow the Goalie co-host Anthony SanFilippo. He says he knows a guy who bet a 25-leg same-game parlay Thursday on FanDuel:

“One bet was 34 cents and the other was 29 cents. He did it twice because (of the max earnings cap). The bets were made on four NBA games. He hit on 23 of the 25, missing by one Giannis 3-pointer and one Valanciunas assist (that would have won him) almost $2 million. Gotta be one of the worst bad beats ever.”

Sheesh. This slip has more legs in it than Octomom’s chest cavity:

This slip is from last Thursday, April 7th.

Parlays are a degenerates best friend. Chasing the thrill of a lifetime with +288 MILLION odds is why you get into the game. I don’t even know if Herbert Jones is a real NBA player. But now I think he’s one of the greatest all around players in the NBA since he hit his over on rebounds and assists. That’s the beauty of parlays. Where else can you bet on Devin Vassell dropping over 15.5 points? Only in this degenerate fever dream.

All it takes is one and this guy almost had it. Hitting 23/25 is such a kick in the dick that you would rather go 0/25. Especially when Giannis went 0-4 from behind the arc that night and Jonas Valanciunas got yanked in the 4th quarter with two assists because the Pelicans were beating the brakes off of Portland.

This has to be the worst bad beat since being born in Delco. Zing* –
