A bettor missed out on turning 89 cents into $500,000 thanks to the Redskins

The Washington Redskins were terrible at football on Monday night during their loss to the Chicago Bears.

And that might have broken the heart of one bettor who had an incredible parlay that could have paid out had the Skins won.

Parlays — in which you get discounted spreads, money lines and over/unders by grouping a bunch of bets together — can pay out in big ways, as our Steven Ruiz proves week after week with his “how to turn $10 into $100” post. And in this one, the gambler nailed 19 OF 20 PICKS! All he needed was the Redskins to win outright, which was a daunting task considering how good the Bears’ defense was. But maybe Washington — who kept a game close against the Eagles in Week 1 — could pull out a miracle on Monday night if Mitchell Trubisky struggled.

Nope. Heartbreak!

And some reaction:

Just brutal.
