Earlier this week, the NHL treated fans to an experiment dubbed “Frozen Frenzy,” which saw every single team in the league face off on the same night over the course of 16 games. Most people seemed to enjoy the end result, but it’s hard to imagine anyone was happier than a bettor who walked away with a massive chunk of cash thanks to an ambitious parlay.

The NHL and ESPN had to deal with plenty of logistical issues to bring the inaugural Frozen Frenzy into existence, and while there are certainly a few kinks to work out if it attempts to revisit the concept, it seems like most viewers appreciated getting to take advantage of the hockey equivalent of NFL RedZone.

Frozen Frenzy was almost tailormade for sports betting enthusiasts who wanted to throw some money down on the action that unfolded across the country on Tuesday, as it was easier than ever to keep tabs on what was going down in the NHL thanks to a broadcast that ensured you’d get to witness every single goal that was scored.

That came in particularly handy if you opted to wager on a parlay concerning the outcome of multiple contests, which is exactly what one guy did when he bet the moneyline for all 16 games. It was obviously a longshot bet (the odds were a whopping +680141), but they didn’t really have a ton to lose when you consider they only bet a grand total of $2.

There were only three underdogs on the card as well as a couple of favorites that were essentially a coin flip, but nailing every single pick was still an incredibly tall task. However, they were able to do exactly that en route securing a grand total of $13,604.83 courtesy of the folks at FanDuel.
