Sports betting: How did a $50 parlay with 2,579-to-1 odds turn into a six-figure winner?

Anyone who bets a parlay with seven teams is a dreamer.

You hope to hit all seven legs and get a huge payout. The win is especially large if you’re throwing some big underdogs on there. It’s not the way you should bet if you’re worried about things like bankroll management.

But, sometimes the lottery hits.

One bettor at MGM played an odd parlay on Tuesday. There were six teams from the Copa Libertadores soccer tournament in South America, and the Dodgers to win Game 1 of the World Series.
