All bettors dream about building the perfect slip. Carefully crafting a massive parlay, sweeping an entire slate and turning a couple of bucks into a life changing sum. Well, a Florida sports bettor from Delray Beach did just that on Hard Rock Bet over the weekend, going 17 for 17 and in the process transforming an initial $15 stake into $843,490.71 with a college football parlay for the record books.
The $843K parlay ticket
This incredible ticket consisted of thirteen point spreads and four over/under bets from the weekend’s college football slate, including a mix of favorites and underdogs from a variety of conferences. In total the final odds came in at +5623171. Yes, you read that correctly… plus 5,623,171. Here’s the ticket in full:
- Georgia -9.5
- BYU @ Texas Tech Under 51.5
- Indiana @ Penn State Under 49.5
- Syracuse +28.5
- Texas A&M -6.5
- Iowa +6.5
- Clemson -1.5
- Alabama -10.5
- Florida @ Kentucky Over 44.5
- West Virginia -5.5
- Iowa State @ TCU Under 57.5
- Vanderbilt -6.5
- Wisconsin +10.5
- California +18.5
- Nebraska +0.5
- Air Force +5.5
- Coastal Carolina -7.5




An $800,000 sweat
As with any 17-leg parlay, there are going to be close calls… and this ticket proved no different. You could point to Indiana and Penn State’s 21-point fourth quarter, punctuated by Omar Cooper Jr.’s highlight reel catch pushing the game over 49.5 points as the moment things could have gone awry. You could look at Syracuse securing a backdoor cover with a meaningless 17-yard touchdown (and crucial extra point) with seconds on the clock to cut the lead to just 28, covering 28.5, or Alabama only managing 20 total points, but still finding a way to cover 10.5 as being particularly fortuitous. But in the end, the bet got home… and with a payout that could pay for a home.
