How a Bettor Won Over $117,000 With a Touchdown Parlay on DraftKings Sportsbook

How a Bettor Won Over $117,000 With a Touchdown Parlay on DraftKings Sportsbook

Updated:

By: Zach Thompson

Every week of the NFL season, DraftKings Sportsbook is your No. 1 place to bet touchdowns. In Week 3, one bettor had a “Crowning Moment” by taking home a huge bag after a three-leg first touchdown parlay hit with an added 15% profit boost on top.

A Parlay Bet is a bet placed on multiple outcomes to occur. Any Parlay Bet cashes when all outcomes within the parlay are selected correctly. You can learn more about how they work in the DraftKings Sportsbook How To Bet guide!

In this case, the bettor selected three players to score the first touchdown of their matchup. Here’s what happened when the final leg went green:

The winner’s successful weekend started on Sunday when Browns WR Amari Cooper scored the first touchdown of Cleveland’s game against the Giants.

The Giants actually took the opening kickoff of that game, but Eric Gray fumbled the return. On the first play after the fumble, Cooper hauled in the touchdown, and after only 11 seconds had elapsed from the game clock, this bettor already had his first leg wrapped up. The rest of the game would go much better for the Giants, who came back to beat the Browns, but this bettor already had the first touchdown needed to get the win.

The second touchdown scorer this bettor selected was from the matchup between the Falcons and the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. While the other two picks were wide receivers, for this game, running back Bijan Robinson was selected.

Robinson’s final total of 31 yards on 16 carries was unimpressive, but for this parlay, all he had to do was score the first touchdown of the game. He did that on this run after the Falcons marched 70 yards:

The touchdown parlay was completed on Monday night, when the Bengals and Commanders played one of the most exciting games of the season to this point. Both teams put up plenty of points, but this parlay needed Ja’Marr Chase to find the end zone first.

The Bengals got the ball, and on their opening drive, Joe Burrow went up top to his favorite target. Chase hadn’t scored in the first two games of the season, but this touchdown grab was his first of two scores on the night:

Chase’s touchdown completed the parlay and helped this bettor turn a $250 bet into a massive payout of $117,262.50.
