A dramatic parlay finish led to a $100,000 winner at Diamond Sportsbook (BetDSI) on Sunday, as the Wizards' 107-105 win in overtime at Denver put the finishing touches on a winning ticket in near-miraculous style.
A 26-year-old player from Indiana landed the winnings after putting $500 on an eight-team, all-NBA card. When reached by a DSI spokesperson on Monday, the winner declined any comment, but came away with a ticket worth $108,098 in all.
For his last game on the parlay, the eventual winner took struggling Denver at +3 against a Washington team that ranks second in the Eastern Conference standings. In overtime, it looked as if the Wizards were going to pull away from the spread, as they held a five-point lead with 10 seconds left.
Then, with just three seconds remaining, the Nuggets covered when Wilson Chandler drained a three pointer following a loose ball foul. The eighth and final game on the parlay was the closest call, however the player was spared another lucky break when Indiana beat Orlando 106-99, despite trailing in the fourth quarter, giving the 1.5-point favorite the against-the-spread win and just barely pushing the total to over 203.5 points.
He also called the Clippers and Suns staying under 223, as the final score was shy of the point mark by one possession in Los Angeles' 120-100 win over Phoenix.
Other notable wins on the card included New Orleans straight up against Dallas and over the total of 199. The Pelicans wound up taking the home game 109-106 over the Mavericks on Sunday night. He also had the Atlanta Hawks and the Minnesota Timberwolves going over the total of 200.5.
