The Biggest Parlay Wins of 2022

5. $25 to win $38,781.50: 2+ TD Parlay

The NFL season saw plenty of big wins, but one of our favorites from 2022 belongs to @BostonConnr from the Pat McAfee Show. It only cost him $25 to cash over $38,000 in winnings, needing four NFL stars to find the end zone...twice each.

In the Raiders vs. Jags game, he needed Davante Adams and Travis Etienne to score 2+ touchdowns each, and in the Chargers vs. Falcons game, he needed Austin Ekeler and Cordarrelle Patterson to do the same.

You know it's a great bet when you don't even have to sweat it late...all four legs had cashed and the two games were barely even into the 4th quarter.

At +155026 odds, this parlay was definitely one of the most impressive long shot wins of the season. 2+ Touchdown Parlays became one of the most popular ways to bet during the NFL season, as bettors everywhere dreamed of replicating this win. As Same Game Parlays continue to grow in popularity, we may see more and more tickets just like this one in the future.

4. $25 to win $43,218: NCAA Basketball Region Winner Parlay

We love our college basketball here at Dimers, and the most legendary win we saw this past March belongs to instagram user @yookie13, who must have had a crystal ball to see the chaos that ensued in the NCAA Tournament for his NCAA Basketball Region Winner Parlay that netted him over $43,000.

Looking back, it feels much less crazy than it was at the time he placed the bet, as the +172772 odds signify. While none of Duke, Kansas or Villanova were longshots on their own, parlaying them together and adding the struggling North Carolina Tar Heels (+2000) to them was a stroke of brilliance that nobody else saw coming.

Any good parlay hit deserves a good celebration, and this bettor definitely delivered on that front as well. How else do you celebrate being $43k richer? Going wild at a Buffalo Wild Wings, of course.

2. $26 to win $557,770.91: Championship Winners Parlay

One of the most fun bets to follow of the year was Instagram user @dforte73184's seven-leg, seven-league Championship Winners Parlay that would have paid out over $557,000 on just a $26 bet. The ticket spanned multiple sports - college basketball, NBA, NHL and four different soccer championships across the entire year of 2022.

As the year went on, this ticket grew in value over and over again. It all came down to France winning the World Cup - which, spoiler alert - didn't happen.

However, this bettor didn't go home empty handed. He cashed out the bet prior to the World Cup Final, netting him a profit of over $283,000.

This ticket was the talk of #GamblingTwitter for weeks, and ultimately, he made the right move as Lionel Messi and Argentina won in a penalty shootout. But that result (and the cash out) doesn't make the story, or the parlay any less legendary.

1. $31,000 to win $2,880,263.52: NFL Parlay

The most impressive parlay win of the year (and the most recent win on this list) belongs to Chicago super-bettor Marco Piemonte in Week 15 of this year’s NFL season when his monster NFL parlay cashed for a cool payout of more than $2.8 million.

While any bet this size is impressive in it's own right, it's not the result that is most spectacular here, it's the way a few of these legs won - in stunning fashion! The bet included five legs, and two of them were downright miraculous - the Vikings' largest comeback in NFL history, and the Raiders' last-second miracle against the Patriots.

WIth the Vikings trailing 33-0 at halftime against the Colts, Marco had to think his bet was cooked. Sportsbooks were offering Minnesota at odds as high as +5000 on the moneyline to stage the biggest comeback in NFL history. And that's excactly unfolded, as Minnesota won 39-36.

The final leg of this massive winner needed the Raiders to beat the Patriots. With New England driving late and overtime looking certain, what followed was perhaps the craziest ending to an NFL game of all-time.

The Patriots played the lateral game, before throwing the ball directly to Raiders linebacker Chandler Jones, who promptly ran the ball into the end zone, giving Las Vegas the win and Marco the most insane parlay win of all time.
