A wager placed for $4.80 could turn into $141,372 for one bettor, with only the New York Yankees' World Series outcome remaining to be decided.
The betslip, posted on FanDuel Sportsbook by Instagram user _zachweiss, has successfully navigated four legs: the Seahawks winning Super Bowl 60, Michigan winning the NCAA Tournament, the Knicks winning the NBA Finals, and Spain winning the World Cup.
The Seahawks secured their Super Bowl victory on February 8. Michigan clinched the NCAA Tournament title on April 6, and the Knicks won the NBA Finals on June 13. Spain's World Cup victory came on Sunday, with a 1-0 win over Argentina.
The bettor has the option to cash out the current bet for $14,233.84 or let it ride on the Yankees.
When the wager was placed, the Yankees were listed at +750 odds to win the World Series. Despite currently holding a 56-44 record and sitting in second place in the AL East, the team has faced challenges due to injuries. Aaron Judge has been sidelined since May 31 with a stress fracture in his right rib, and his absence has impacted the team's offensive performance. Giancarlo Stanton has also been out since late April, and the pitching rotation has dealt with injuries to Carlos Rodón, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt.
However, Ben Rice has emerged as a key offensive player, leading the team in batting average, home runs, RBIs, and hits, earning All-Star recognition. The bullpen has also performed well, posting the lowest ERA in the league at 3.42.
The Yankees' odds to win the World Series have since shifted to +550, making them the second-shortest odds on the board, trailing only the Dodgers.
With uncertainty surrounding Judge's return, as he was recently moved to the 60-day injured list, the decision to cash out or continue carries significant risk for the bettor.
