[h=1]Monday Night Football has always carried a lot of significance in the sports betting world. The standalone game on the first day of the work week typically features a good matchup, a competitive game and a large betting handle. It is a chance for bettors to recoup losses from the weekend or build upon profits.[/h]
In the case of one bettor at BetMGM Sportsbook, the game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers is the chance to cash the parlay of a lifetime. A $25 ticket has the chance to become $726,959 thanks to a 16-leg parlay of NFL moneylines.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. What a great situation to be in needing the Packers to beat the Lions, as Green Bay takes the field tonight as a double-digit favorite. Here’s the M. Night Shyamalanian twist ... the bettor actually needs the Lions to win outright.
To hedge or not to hedge is often an important question that parlay bettors face. In this instance, it seems pretty imperative to find a way to get some big bucks down on the Packers and at least guarantee some sort of profit from this monster of a ticket.
The Lions are easily the biggest of the five underdogs on the parlay, which started with the Washington Football Team on Thursday night. The ticket almost died on the vine before it got started, as Dustin Hopkins missed his first game-winning field goal attempt from 48 yards and then made the second one from 43 after the Giants got whistled for being offsides.
With Detroit pending for a big pay day, here are the other 15 winners from Week 2:

  • Washington -175
  • Bears -130
  • Browns -650
  • Rams -190
  • Bills -175
  • Patriots -250
  • 49ers -160
  • Raiders %plusssign% 190
  • Panthers + 150
  • Broncos -275
  • Cardinals -190
  • Buccaneers -650
  • Cowboys + 135
  • Titans + 190
  • Ravens + 180
The Lions were at + 400 and will need to pull the upset in order to cash this for the full amount.

He’s got enough time to find a investor. Throw together a contract and cash either way. At least take a chunk guaranteed profit

Absolutely BB hope he planned ahead somewhat going into the SNF game? This case is much more lucrative and intriguing than the seat of the pants parlay put in last weeks scenario.

Yeah he cashed out for 133 before the game
Never mind, I see the article you're probably talking about how BetMGM actually paid him out for hitting 15/16.

Thats fucking crazy that a Book would pay out 133 G's to someone who lost a bet.

It's great publicity from an online book that basically kicked me out with a $650 balance and all I did was break even. I bailed after they stopped me from betting boosts and putting a $10 limit on me to bet anything else.

Solid marketing for them. Now I wouldn't be surprised if it was all fake.

In conclusion...


  • 50,000-1: The actual odds, according to ESPN's Football Power Index, of a $25, 16-leg parlay featuring every Week 2 NFL game that a bettor nearly hit last week in Michigan. According to BetMGM, the bettor correctly picked the winners of the first 15 games and needed the Lions to upset the heavily favored Packers in order to win $726,959. The bet was placed using a free promotion and initially wasn't eligible for any type of early cash-out option. However, a spokesperson for BetMGM said its traders communicated with the bettor ahead of the Monday night game and ultimately allowed the bettor to cash out for $133,000 pre-tax.
