  • The gambling world has seen a week full of ‘favorites’ dominating underdogs and one gambler really benefitted from that

Unless you work in the service industry it’s quite rare to make a ton of money on a Thursday night. If you’re a waiter at St. Elmo Steakhouse in Indianapolis you might clean up on a Thursday with a huge tip from a large table.

The exception to that rule is gambling. Whether it’s at the tables or hitting a 19-leg College Basketball parlay, that’s the only realistic way people outside of the service industry make asinine amounts of money on a Thursday night.

One gambler with the handle @kevbibby___ on Instagram had a better Thursday than most. He put just $10 on a 19-leg College Basketball parlay and turned his ten dollars into $16,000. Out of the entire parlay, only one of the 19 picks had + odds but there were quite a few teams in there that were more or less a coin flip. Check it out…

If you’d rather not click ‘play’ on that tweet, here’s the rundown of those teams:

  1. Charlotte -365
  2. Middle Tennessee -315
  3. Indiana -310
  4. Northern Kentucky -580
  5. Winthrop -580
  6. Detroit Merch -102
  7. Purdue Fort Wayne +220
  8. Memphis -750
  9. UMKC -152
  10. UW Milwaukee -320
  11. North Texas -3500
  12. South Dakota State -164
  13. DePaul -137
  14. Utah Valley State -142
  15. Louisiana Tech -225
  16. Murray State -110
  17. Gonzaga -110
  18. Saint Mary’s -850
  19. Arizona -600

That $10 ticket paid out a cool $15,979.07. So not quite a full $16,000 but I think it’s close enough to say this gambler turned ten dollars into sixteen grand on a Thursday while I passed out early watching Netflix.

This part actually blew my mind:

Meanwhile, sports gambling has never been more popular in America. Look at these numbers!

Why throw a -3500 pick in that parlay? The only reason I can come up with for that making sense is if there was some sort of sportsbook bonus for having a specified number of legs in the parlay.
