The St. Louis Blues are Stanley Cup champions for the first time in franchise history thanks to a masterful performance in there 4-1 Game 7 win in Boston on Wednesday night.
And now one of their fans has a lot more money in his bank account because of it.
Scott Berry put $400 on the Blues to win the Stanley Cup way back in January when he was in Las Vegas for work. Now he has $100K coming his way.
Action Network’s Darren Rovell has the details:
In January, Scott Berry was in Las Vegas when he threw down $400 on the St. Louis Blues to win the Stanley Cup at 250-1 odds. As the worst team in the league, it was an absurd bet made by a guy who bet emotionally on his own team. But emotion is why Berry is still in the game, as in he hasn’t hedged in his potential $100,000 win despite chances to get out without putting any money down from PropSwap. Berry got offers from other bettors to buy him out at $75,000 when the Blues were up 3-2 before Game 6. Berry said no, seeing it as bad karma for the team he was rooting for.

And here’s his winning ticket:
That has to be pretty darn sweet.
