Pennsylvania<\/a> bet the same six-leg parlay, which saw them pocket a combined win of $375,000 with just a stake of $1.50.<\/p>\n\n\n The bet slip comprised six players to score the first basket of every single match in the nine-game NBA schedule. It was created by Abdul Murphy Jr from East Stroudsburg, who would then send the slip to his other two friends. His buddies didn\u2019t waste time to tail it and they came away with a six-figure payout, a decision we are sure they\u2019re grateful for to this day.<\/p>\n\n
\n 12. Phil Mickelson Won $560,000\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Phil Mickelson is another winner on our biggest sports betting wins list. The professional golfer was a big fan of the Baltimore Ravens way before they made a name for themselves in 2000. Phil saw the talent and potential of the team and we can indeed say that his judgment was excellently placed.<\/p>\n\n
\n He went ahead and placed a bet of $20,000 against the odds, and shortly after it paid back incredibly well. He won a whopping $560,000 from this wager.<\/p>\n\n
\n 11. Mick Gibbs \u2013 Wins $700,000\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n In 2001, Mick Gibbs, a roofer residing in Staffordshire, England, wagered a $2.54 bet on a 15-leg accumulator bet. If you're an avid punter, you know that this is a very hard bet to hit. Particularly, since all legs must be successful for the bet to win. Mick\u2019s bet slip consisted of a mix of horse racing and football events.<\/p>\n\n
\n Mick had no idea that this bet would be the one to put his name in the news headlines – and also didn\u2019t know how much his payout would be until he went to claim his winnings.<\/p>\n\n
\n 10. Mike Futter \u2013 Betting His Horse Brought Him $800,000\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Futter is among the biggest winners in sports betting. This is a renowned name in the industry and he also has a story to tell. In 2003, Futter made a wager on his own horse named Manty\u2019s Pass.<\/p>\n\n
\n Manty\u2019s Pass didn\u2019t disappoint his master as he won first place in the race, earning Futter over $400,000 as the owner. He received an additional $400,000 for his bet, totaling to over $800,000. Even though he had some great bets previously, Fatter said that he would never forget that day.<\/p>\n\n
\n 9. Charles Barkley – Wins $800,000\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Barkley is not a new name in the sports betting realm. In 2002, he took his place in the Hall of Fame for one of the biggest wins ever recorded in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n
\n He placed a bet on the underdogs in the Super Bowl; that the New England Patriots would win against the St. Louis Rams. He also wagered an extra $50,000 on the moneyline, and both bets won.<\/p>\n\n
\n This win caused a stir as there were reports that Barkley did not have enough credits at his sportsbook, the Mandalay Bay to cover both bets. There were a few back-and-forth deliberations but later got his $800,000 payout.<\/p>\n\n
\n 8. Fred Craggs \u2013 Staking $1 Million With a $0.50 Bet\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Craggs from Yorkshire is next on the biggest sports betting wins in history. On his birthday, the 60-year-old gentleman decided to make a wager on an 8-horse accumulator with odds at 2,800,000\/1.<\/p>\n\n
\n He staked $0.50 on this bet without a clue that this would be the wager to completely change his life. Each horse on the accumulator won earning him $1 million. What\u2019s funny is that Craggs only knew about the massive win when he went to place another bet at his bookie, which was totally unrelated to the winning bet.<\/p>\n\n
\n 7. Michigan NASCAR Bettor Lands $1 Million\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n In 2022 August, a lucky punter from Michigan<\/a> landed a big win with a $13.49 free bet, making headlines across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n The NASCAR parlay bet was placed at FanDuel Sportsbook and consisted of four drivers, namely Cody Ware (+2000), David Ragan (+950), B.J McLeod (+2000), and Landon Cassill (+1500). He wagered that each driver would finish in the top 10 of the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona Beach.<\/p>\n\n
\n The bet won when David Ragan crossed the finish line in the ninth place, awarding the bettor $999,433.63.<\/p>\n\n
\n 6. James Adducci \u2013 A Large Bet Brought $1.2 Million\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n One of the largest bets ever won goes to James Adducci, who made a wager worth $85,000 on the famous golfer, Tiger Woods in 2019. It was a brave move by this gentleman on account that it was Wood\u2019s first championship in 11 years.<\/p>\n\n
\n While most people might think it was a bad move, it paid off in a big way, more precisely, to the north of $1.2 million.<\/p>\n\n
