This massive cross-sport parlay made one bettor so much money

The first result was in April and the ticket just cashed out in June.

The best way to maximize your profits on a parlay is to add as many outcomes with favorable odds as possible. And sometimes you have to look to futures bets to stack up enough of those to make it worth your while.

That’s exactly what Instagram user @dpargs did with an incredible five-sport parlay that spanned three different months before being decided. And it was absolutely worth the wait, as he turned $100 into more than $19,000, according to FanDuel.

It all started April 24 with two simple moneyline bets — one on an English Premier League match between Liverpool and Everton and the other on an MLB game between the Giants and Nationals. A few additional results later, including both NBA conference winners and both French Open singles winners, the bet cashed out when the Colorado Avalanche clinched the NHL’s Western Conference title on Monday.

Surely, dpargs had ample opportunities to cash out earlier for a smaller sum. But his patience was rewarded with a small salary. Now, if we can get him to teach the rest of us his ways.
