Sports Betting on FOX Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\nFrench Connection<\/p>\n
After the third round of the French Open, with four more rounds to go, a Fanatics Sportsbook customer felt good about who would nab the men\u2019s and women\u2019s titles.<\/p>\n
The bettor plunked down $10,000 on a two-leg parlay of Mirra Andreeva as the Roland Garros women\u2019s winner and Alexander Zverev as the men\u2019s champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Further, the customer utilized an odds boost, taking the price from +1775 to +2219.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Andreeva beat Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 to get the first half of that ticket home. Then on Sunday, Zverev survived a five-set marathon to beat Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1.<\/p>\n
So that 10 grand netted $221,875 profit, for a total payout of $231,875.<\/p>\n
In French Open action last Monday, a DraftKings Sportsbook customer came out an even bigger winner on an in-play parlay. The bettor put three matches on the $2,500 ticket, including a long shot of Matteo Arnaldi +1820 to rally and win his match vs. Frances Tiafoe.<\/p>\n
At the time, Arnaldi was down 3-1 in the fourth set, three games from losing the match. But he rallied to take the fourth set 7-6 in a tiebreaker, then won the fifth set 6-4.<\/p>\n
The other two legs got there, as well. At hefty odds of +23630 \u2014 just beyond 236\/1 \u2014 the $2,500 bet turned into a whopping $593,260.80.<\/p>\n
French Connection, Part Deux<\/p>\n
Polymarket saw a pair of seven-figure trades on Sunday\u2019s French Open men\u2019s final, both on Zverev, who was a heavy favorite.<\/p>\n
First, a trade of $5 million came in on the German at 80%, which translates to odds of -400. Then came a $1.8 million trade at 79% (-376).<\/p>\n
The traders certainly got a huge sweat, with Zverev stretched much further than oddsmakers anticipated. But he got the five-set victory.<\/p>\n
So the first trade profited $1.35 million (total payout $6.35 million), while the second trade netted $537,553 (total payout $2.33 million).<\/p>\n
Knicks of Time<\/p>\n
The Knicks are on a run for the ages in the NBA playoffs, going 13-0 straight up (SU) and 12-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 13 games. That includes Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals, as road underdogs to the Spurs.<\/p>\n
As we\u2019ve reported over the past few weeks, a BetMGM customer is making ladders of point-spread straight bets on NBA playoff games, with phenomenal success. Friday\u2019s Game 2 was the latest big splash for the whale bettor.<\/p>\n
The customer put $445,000 across seven bets, on spreads ranging from +5.5 to +10.5.<\/p>\n
As it turned out, the bettor didn\u2019t need all those points, with the Knicks squeaking out a 105-104 victory. So, as has been the case on almost all these ventures, it was a perfect 7-0 night, and the bettor bagged $238,965 in profit (total payout $683,965).<\/p>\n
Since April 27, when the first reported set of such bets came in, the customer is up an incredible $2.22 million. Don\u2019t be surprised if another pile of money shows up for Monday\u2019s Game 3.<\/p>\n
In Game 1, a Hard Rock Bet customer went large on New York, wagering $177,500 on Knicks moneyline +195. Jalen Brunson & Co. delivered with a 105-95 upset victory on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The customer landed a healthy profit of $346,125 (total payout $523,625).<\/p>\n
One Dollar Holler<\/p>\n
How about wrapping up with a wager that\u2019s much more relatable to all of us?<\/p>\n
In Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, a DraftKings customer put all of one dollar on a four-leg parlay of anytime goalscorers.<\/p>\n
Then the Golden Knights and Hurricanes put up nine goals in a wild opener, with Vegas winning 5-4. The Knights\u2019 Shea Theodore was the first of those four to score, in the first period, and the Hurricanes\u2019 Jordan Staal netted a second-period goal.<\/p>\n
Midway through the third period, Carolina\u2019s Shayne Gostisbehere lit the lamp, tying the game at 4. So the sweat was on for that final leg.<\/p>\n
Vegas\u2019 Tomas Hertl obliged with just 3:24 remaining, which gave the Knights and the bettor a big win.<\/p>\n
At huge odds of +100000 (1000\/1), that lonely dollar turned into $1,001. Not a bad night\u2019s work at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Knicks\u2019 stunning playoff run is drawing a lot of attention from bettors, with New York now the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[5244,753,64,63,615,313633,313632,21944,59261,10109,25054,590,85],"class_list":["post-723946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-alexander-zverev","tag-atp","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-betting","tag-big-bets","tag-fairplay-big-bets","tag-gambling","tag-mirra-andreeva","tag-national-basketball-association","tag-national-hockey-league","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
