Three Pennsylvania gamblers have extra spending money in their pockets today after hitting what will go down as one of the craziest FanDuel wins of 2022. While details are limited and there’s some question whether the three winners are friends, what’s crystal clear, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, is that there were three winning $0.50 first basket scorer parlay tickets that paid out over $130,0000
For those of you who aren’t familiar with such bets, first basket parlay tickets are just what they sound like. You pick players who will score the first basket in a game. It’s that easy — or hard.
Considering last night’s six-leg parlay had +26056700 odds, this bet goes right into the longshot category. Total lottery ticket. Play thousands of these and never hit category.
And then like the lottery, one of them hits.
Gordon Hayward, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Evan Fournier, Christian Wood, Lauri Markkanen, and LeBron James all scored the first basket in their games and the three gamblers got themselves some Wild Card Weekend longshot parlay money to blow.
The best thing you've seen in 2022..

That wasn’t the only big first scorer parlay to hit Wednesday night. Another bettor hit a $10 4-leg first scorer parlay for a healthy $28,129.50 hit.
Sucker bets or just the sort of lottery ticket you like to make to get the gambling juices flowing? You make the call.
