Football season is right around the corner and with it degenerate gambling. What are the best bets you’ve ever hit (by legs, size of winnings, or long odds)?

I've only done sports betting at bachelor's parties. One of them was like a 5 team parlay for the first college football Saturday. $50 bet would have paid like $400. I thought I had that in the bag because they all seemed like huge miss-matches.

House had my money before the 3pm games started.

watched a friend of a friend win 100k on the rams super bowl 2000. he was from st louis and bet preseason for them to win it. I believe it was $500 at 200:1. Maybe $200 at 500:1. watched it with a crowd at the tahoe biltmore
not that 100k isn't good money, but this was when we were all mid 20s. the whole place was watching and went nuts when he won

I had a friend on a bachelor trip lose a 10-game parlay, albeit mostly ML on heavy favorites, by one leg. That leg being the Miami/GT game in 2023 where they fumbled late because they didn’t kneel.

I don’t gamble much but did hit a 6 team parlay on Labor Day weekend at Caesars. I don’t remember every team but one was FSU with Winston. $300 barely covered the drinks that day lol. I had another parlay that would’ve done real good. Hit 7 out of 8. If CC wasn’t a choke job against Boston I would’ve ate lobster that night.

Longest play I ever hit was +23000 2002 NCAAB Finals Kansas vs UNC exact score 69-72.

I was balls deep back then and had pre game bet my account down to $1.00

I threw that dart, it hit and couldnt sleep that night. Won $230 but jesus christ the "what if" kept me up for days

Also hit both sides of the spread live plus some props.

Went to the Golden Nugget in Biloxi 2 or 3 years ago and won 3,600 on a slot machine on a 68 cent bet on a Sunday morning.

I had just gotten there and won it on Free Play.

"Parlay" is French for "I have a gambling problem "

Won roughly $1,500 on a $10 NFL 10 game parlay (which included a 100% boost).

Lost those winnings with a month or two.

Football season before last, week 16. I had just signed up for 2 different sportsbook apps and had a total of $565 in free bets. I placed a 15 leg parlay of heavy favorites with a $365 bonus bet, then placed another similar 14 leg parlay with a $200 bonus bet. They both ended up hitting for about $4k without spending a single dollar.

Best was a 9 team for 1600. Had some good weekends but never hit a 9 game parlay. I did it because I hate uneven numbers

I hit a 6/6 ML way back in the early internet days ~1995. No real time updates. I had to wait until about 2am to see if Arizona St. hung on to win. It was $10 for $400. That seemed like all the money in the world to me back then.

A guy at my office was about to win $500 on a Super Bowl pool. Had the 1-1 square.

Tampa had a pick six on the final* play. Oof.
