Fan Duel may soon stop giving out free bonus bets after this past weekend.
The online sportsbook took a significant hit when a free $20 bet turned into more than a half-million for one of its players.
The gambler correctly predicted the final score of both games at a mere 28950:1 odds.
Boom!
This is the type of hit every gambler lives for.
You make a stupid bet and hope for the best.
I cannot imagine how the man felt when the first game came in on the money.
The next three hours had to be total torture, but the Rams kicker booted the kick through with under two minutes to play and Jimmy G. could not get it done from there.
$20 → $579K 🤯🤯🤯
There's 𝗡𝗢 𝗪𝗔𝗬. There's just 𝗡𝗢 𝗪𝗔𝗬.
The most 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗘 parlay you'll ever see, guaranteed.

That is what you call a life-changing bet.
Amazingly, he was not the only one that hit the bet.
There were two additional winners, with a $5 bet ($145,000) and a $2 bet ($58,000) also hitting.
I am going to take a wild guess and say that final score predictions will be the most played prop bet of the Super Bowl after everyone sees this!
