How did one bettor turn $5 into $100K?

A bettor from San Francisco made his time in Las Vegas pay off big time. He placed a $5 wager on a 15-team NFL parlay in Week 16 and when every leg connected, the bet paid off to the tune of $100,000.

William Hill punched the winning ticket:

The bettor had the Broncos -7, Raiders +6, Falcons -7, Saints -3 and Saints-Titans Over 51, Giants +2, Jets +3, Dolphins -1, Colts -7, Ravens -10, Eagles +3 and Eagles-Cowboys Under 46, Cardinals +10, Chiefs -5 and Packers +4.

And you thought the Bengals almost blew clinching the No. 1 overall pick by scoring 23 points in the fourth quarter? If Miami hadn’t kicked a last-second field goal in overtime, the bet would have been ashes.

Same with the Giants failing to close out Washington in regulation. The overtime TD kept the ticket alive.
