Kick Is Good! FanDuel Pays Out $20 Million After Long-Shot NFL Parlay Hits
FanDuel Sportsbook revealed it would pay out more than $20 million to customers after the sportsbook’s self-created long-shot parlay hit during Week 2 in the NFL.
FanDuel created a “Red Zone Special” ahead of Sunday’s slate. The parlay hit after each team that played during the 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 4:25 p.m. ET games converted on one or more field goals. In total, 26 teams made field goals.
The sportsbook set the odds at 200-1. It meant those who placed a $1 wager were paid out $201 and those who placed a $5 wager were granted $1,005.
While we’re only two weeks into the NFL campaign, and while those bettors weren’t the only ones to win in Week 2, it’s difficult to imagine a win better than that this season.
