1 bettor hit an absurd NBA first-basket method parlay to turn 77 cents into $18K

How does one get so lucky?!

What’s it like to be on the winning end of one of those incredibly lucky parlays you only really see on social media?

I ask because I genuinely want to know that feeling for myself. And maybe no parlay has invoked that longing more than the three-legger somebody hit Thursday on NBA methods of first basket.

Just look at these incredibly random and specific predictions about the first made basket of three separate games: Bam Adebayo layup, Cam Johnson 3-pointer, Al Horford…other. OTHER!

The odds on this parlay were so long, it only took 77 cents for this bettor to make $18,000. Bruh, how?!

Picking the first scorers of a game alone, without trying to guess how they’ll score is considered a sucker’s market. It’s just not something you have a good chance of winning.

But if you can get the odds so long that you can risk less than a dollar — and potentially make more than I’ve even loss in my betting career — what’s really the harm?

Well, actually, we all know the harm. Because the vast majority of us will just bleed money trying to find out.
