McDonough, GA man wins nearly $28,000 with cross-sport MLB-WNBA parlay bet

August 29, 2022 (McDonough, GA) – A 43-year-old man from McDonough, GA, a small community some 30 miles from Atlanta, turned $250 into a cool $27,734.16 on Sunday, August 28th, after winning a 5-team parlay bet that combined both MLB baseball games and WNBA basketball games, BetUS.com announced today.

The online sportsbook said that it does not release customers’ names or other personally identifiable information.

The big win happened on Sunday (Aug. 28) when the customer combined five games – three MLB games and two WNBA games into a “parlay bet,” in which a customer can bet on multiple teams together in order to win potentially astronomical payouts, Tim Williams, public relations director for BetUS, explains.

“All five of his picks were ‘money line’ (straight bets to win) on each games’ underdogs, with the Washington Nationals, Oakland Athletics, and Kansas City Royals coming though with wins in the MLB.  But the customer took it a step further and added two WNBA games to his parlay – correctly picking the Seattle Storm and the Connecticut Sun,” Williams says.

"At BetUS, we really do love it when a customer hits one of these big parlay bets - not only because we enjoy seeing a customer get a big payday, but our customers are sometimes quite creative in their parlay bets," Williams says. "This customer is a perfect example, having combined three MLB games with two WNBA games for a parlay ticket that won him a cool $28,000. Who would have thought!?"

Williams said that he has not personally spoken to the winner but "hopes he has a great Labor Day weekend" with his massive winnings.
