Three Big Bets About To Cash With a Nuggets Title

$101 Into $82K

People that make futures bets have the patience of a saint. That patience has paid off for Instagram user the_longest_john who had been sitting on a monster three-leg parlay that included Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup at odds of +550, and then the Kansas City Chiefs to claim another Super Bowl at +500 odds. By comparison, the Nuggets NBA title odds of +2000 when the bet was placed might imply that it would be the hardest leg to hit, however, with Denver making relatively light work of the Heat in five games, it ended up being the leg that was the most sweat-free to cash the +81800 parlay that was placed with FanDuel Sportsbook. 

Drake's Milly

Drake - yes, THAT Drake, has cashed a big piece of action on the Nuggets' exploits. Placed on June 1, the artist slammed down $1 million on Denver to win the title at odds of -434 with Stake, and $250,000 for the Nuggets to win the series 4-1 at odds of +240. All in all, the rich get richer with Drake standing to profit $830,000. 

A Random Bet Pays $112,000

If I could talk to this guy, the first question I'd ask him is: why?

Illinois bettor Chris Bukowski placed a truly remarkable and random five-leg parlay on a combination of March Madness games, an NHL game, and the Nuggets to win the title, risking $1,500 for a payout of $112,000 with DraftKings Sportsbook.

Who knows why he decided to throw a whole bunch of random ass sport together along with an NBA championship future in a parlay, but damn, it's definitely paid off.
