Dodgers World Series leaves a $1 million parlay for a Jets Super Bowl

So close to a million dollars, yet so far away.

That must be the feeling of a FanDuel gambler in the wake of the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.

LA’s victory was the final and fourth leg achieved in the Bettor’s five-part multi-sport championship parlay. Having also won titles with the UConn men’s basketball team, the Boston Celtics and the Florida Panthers, the parlay is now just one leg short of turning his original $51.62 bet into $1,000,073.49.

There’s only one problem. That final leg is a New York Jets Super Bowl.

Considering the Jets are just 2-6 at the halfway point of the NFL season, it seems incredibly unlikely that they will win a championship. They’ll be lucky if they even make the playoffs. The gambler just has to take what he can get at this point.

Of course, FanDuel knows that too, so the payout offer isn’t quite what you might imagine for a $1 million parlay that’s just one leg short. It’s $4,721.65. That’s pretty sad.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing sad about turning $50 into over $4,700. But coming so close to life-changing money and falling just short is the part that stings.
