Please rewrite your original statement.

The final leg of the 16-team NFL moneyline parlay on Monday Night Football did not leave the customer empty-handed, as reported by BetMGM Sportsbook. Despite the Detroit Lions’ loss, the customer had already won the first 15 legs.

Although the game resulted in a disappointing 35-17 loss against the Green Bay Packers, which would have made a potential $726,959 win impossible, BetMGM presented a cash out option of $133,000. The bettor wisely chose to accept this offer.

This story, which became a topic in the Michigan sports betting conversation, ultimately had a joyful conclusion.

BetMGM made an exception to their standard policy of not allowing cash outs for wagers placed with free bets, specifically for this $25 promotional wager on the NFL parlay. The exceptional decision was based on the remarkable selections and improbable odds, resulting in the bettor cashing out for $133K before taxes, as stated by BetMGM.

Bettor hit first 15 legs of $727k NFL moneyline parlay on BetMGM

By accurately selecting the winning teams on the moneyline, the bettor successfully predicted the outcomes of the first 15 NFL games in the weekend parlay at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The chances were:

  • Washington is favored at a line of -175.
  • The odds for the Bears winning are -130.
  • The Browns’ odds are -650.
  • The Rams have odds of -190.
  • The Bills are favored at -175.
  • The Patriots have odds of -250.
  • The 49ers are favored to win with odds of -160.
  • The Raiders have odds of +190.
  • The Panthers have odds of +150.
  • The Broncos are favored with odds of -275.
  • The Cardinals have odds of -190.
  • The Buccaneers have a betting line of -650.
  • The Cowboys are listed at +135.
  • The Titans have odds of +190.
  • The Ravens have a moneyline of +180.

The bettor had placed a bet on the Detroit Lions at +400 against the Green Bay Packers for Monday night’s game. However, by the time the game started, the Lions’ odds had increased to +450.

The cash out option offers great value, as seen in the example of a $133k bet on a +400 bet resulting in a payout of $665,000.

Before making a decision, the bettor probably contemplated various scenarios in their mind, considering both the potential for a significant win and the risk of ending up with nothing.

One of the choices could have been to heavily bet on the Packers winning (and maybe place a smaller bet on a tie). Nevertheless, this strategy was not ideal due to the Packers’ moneyline being around -600.

To win a significant amount, you would have to place a substantial bet, which may or may not be within your flexible financial means.

However, the offer and subsequent acceptance by BetMGM in this situation may raise questions for the bettor in the future.

What will the next big potential parlay winner expect and accept?

It is difficult to describe this specific scenario in any other way than a win/win situation.

The player received a whopping $133K without even having to endure the stress of a potentially heartbreaking Lions loss. At the same time, BetMGM gained valuable publicity in the gambling and mainstream media realm, as they hope to encourage more players to make similar bets. Ultimately, the cash out offer seems quite generous, in a sense.

However, similar to how sportsbooks sometimes provide refunds or free bets following “bad beats,” one could argue that this scenario might establish an unfavorable precedent.

Could BetMGM be creating a situation where customers become frustrated due to limited cash out options, despite the fact that parlays are generally unlikely to win and exceptions for free bets are possible?

However, today it is the experts on Gambling Twitter who will be debating that. As for the bettor who managed to escape the unimaginable hell of the Same Old Lions, there is cause for celebration.
