Winner picked all 15 NFL winners this weekend

The gambler correctly picked the winner of every game this weekend to win the progressive jackpot to earn the big payday.

Well, he or she picked every game correctly that actually had a winner. The Packers and Vikings could not decide a winner after 70 minutes of gameplay and ended in a 29-29 tie. ESPN’s Darren Rovell points out that a tie counts as a win in this particular contest. We’re not sure who was picked in that game.

The picks were made straight up. The winner did not have to pick against the spread. That sounds likely enough, right?

Well, that progressive jackpot didn’t get so large because picking a full slate of NFL games is simple. Try next week for fun, and see how close you can get.

I dabbled with NFL parlays for a season, but the parity makes it insanely difficult. Ended up quitting after the 5-11 Cleveland Browns beat @New Orleans (11-5) and New England (14-2) in back to back weeks. Vowed I'd never burn money like that again.

No chance. We would definitely hear about that.

In similar news, a bettor at one of the new New Jersey Sports books bet a live line that would’ve paid out 82k and won

But the sports book said the line was an error and didn’t pay him.

Gambling is fun

I saw this!

A few state agencies are already looking into this claim.

How on Earth is that even remotely legal?

If someone said, "I put money on that line in error," after the event, the book wouldn't give them a refund. How are they allowed to get away with that?

Absolute nonsense.

I’m pretty sure I saw a ruling that they had to pay him. *could be wrong but swore I saw that they had to pay him/her.

CSB: My best friend won a 12 game NFL parlay back in 2007 on Bodog. Bet $1 and won $2716.

No rhyme or reason to the picks. Took literally 3 minutes randomly clicking shite right before the noon kickoffs.
