“This guy and his 21-team parlay led the way,” said Dave Mason, sportsbook brand manager for BetOnline, via email. “The best part (for him at least), he didn’t even hedge the Chiefs last night.”

The bettor needed the Packers, a 6-point favorite and -300 on the money line, to win outright to finish off a $250, 21-leg parlay for $145,205. He cashed as Aaron Rodgers led Green Bay to a 38-28 win over the Chiefs.
A hedge is a bet to guarantee yourself money or limit exposure. This bettor could have taken the Chiefs (north of +200 at most spots) to lock in a profit on this bet, regardless of Monday night’s outcome. But he chose to let it ride.
The parlay, by the numbers:
—21 teams/players
—18 moneylines (17 favorites), three totals
—Five college football, three NFL, eight tennis, one WNBA, four MLB
—Spanned Tuesday Sept. 22 to Monday Sept. 28
—Seven favorites of at least -1,000
—Three bets at plus-money (all MLB)
—Line under -250 for just four legs
