A FanDuel Sportsbook bettor missed out on a potentially life-changing payday of over $71,000 when they decided to cash out their three-leg futures parlay early.
The parlay included three championship bets: the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, UConn to win the National Championship and the Denver Nuggets to win the NBA Finals.

Whether Denver wins the NBA Finals is irrelevant primarily because, at the minimum, the bettor would be wise to hedge this bet on Miami, potentially guaranteeing him or herself $30,000 or more.

So now the NY Post is giving bookmaking advice? With a conveniently placed FanDuel ad, no less.
Can we please get back to proper English.
“...a potentially life-changing payday of over $71,000...”
I would not call that small amount, life-changing.
Under the Quisling Puppet Biden inflation economy, that money will be worth only half as much next year.
I thought all the grammar Nazis were laid off. You working for free now or are you just interning?
The article does not say what he cashed out at, nor what the payout would be if the Nuggest won the NBA title.
Quite frankly, it was a strange parley set with no relation to each other. Who would pick these three teams, other than the Chiefs which would be a no brainer.
There was a reference to $100 so that may have been the orginal bet. Parley’s are meant to be ridden. You have spent the $100, just let it ride. I would not even watch the NBA finals and wait for someone to tell me who won it all.
The grammar Nazis are the ones who want to force us all to use the new “inclusive” language. I make no apology in opposing this and insisting in standard English.
