Bettor puts down $5, wins nearly $500K as Christian McCaffrey TD finishes 14-leg parlay
Santa Claus arrived fashionably late for a particularly ambitious gambler Monday night.
Christian McCaffrey’s touchdown in the second quarter of the 49ers’ Christmas game against the Ravens made a bettor on DraftKings sportsbook about a half-million dollars richer after a 14-leg NFL touchdown scorer parlay was completed.
The gambler went into Monday night’s matchup having already gotten touchdowns from Najee Harris, Gabriel Davis, Jahmyr Gibbs, DK Metcalf, Jerome Ford, Chris Rodriguez Jr., Jonathan Taylor, Calvin Ridley, James Conner, Raheem Mostert, Javonte Williams, Isiah Pacheco and D’Andre Swift.

This means the bet paid out at nearly 100,000-to-1 odds.
The bettor identified himself in a social media video as Travis Dufner.

“I’ve hit a few small ones but obviously nothing like this.”
According to LinkedIn, Dufner is a financial advisor in New Jersey.

Neverthless, if Dufner has a mountain of liquid cash sitting around, it would have been possible for him to hedge on a different book, such as ESPN Bet, by betting “no touchdown” for McCaffrey.

McCaffrey was as good a bet as anyone, maybe in NFL history, to score a touchdown in any given game, as he entered the night having hit paydirt in 12 of the Niners’ 14 games so far this season.
It bears mentioning that the house advantage on a bet like this is typically enormous for DraftKings, and the book might even be happy to lose this bet given the amount of publicity it will draw.
