Florida bettor wins $5.5 million on incredible Texans-Bengals same-game parlay

A Florida bettor had one of the largest sports betting wins in legal U.S. sports betting history on Sunday, winning $5.5 million on a four-leg NFL same-game parlay on the Hard Rock Bet app.

The bettor wagered $500,000 on a SGP in the Houston Texans-Cincinnati Bengals game, which meant that all four bets had to win in order for the bettor to cash. The odds for the wager came to +1100.

The four separate legs were:

  • Devin Singletary Over 51.5 Rushing Yards
  • Devin Singletary Anytime TD
  • OVER 45.5 points in the game
  • Houston Texans ML

As the lead back with Dameon Pierce out, Singletary had 30 carries and amassed 150 yards rushing, so the first leg was taken care of. Pierce scored on a 6-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to cash the second leg. And the third leg hit late in the fourth quarter after a 1-yard Joe Mixon TD made the score Texans 27, Bengals 24 to go OVER 45.5 points.

But the Texans ML proved a bit trickier, as a C.J. Stroud interception led to an Evan McPherson 31-yard FG with 1:33 remaining to tie the game at 27. Stroud, however, got the ball right back and led his team down the field and in position for a Matt Ammendola 38-yard game-winning FG to lift Houston to a 30-27 win and cash this incredible parlay for the bettor.

The Hard Rock app was only recently relaunched in Florida this past week with limited access to some Florida bettors.

“The $6 million Same Game Parlay win puts an exclamation point on what has been an exciting first week of action for our early access players,” Jon Chapper, senior director of communications at Hard Rock Digital, said in an email. “Access to legal sports betting has already been a game changer in Florida, where many are experiencing same game parlays and play-by-play markets for the first time.”
