With sports betting legal in over 35 U.S. states, sports bettors are getting more and more creative with the wagers they make. One interesting trend is parlaying futures together, which allows plenty of time for hedging and gives bettors something to root for all season.
One bettor at DraftKings Sportsbook is really hoping for a San Francisco 49ers-Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl, as it would guarantee him $117,900.
The bettor placed two separate $100, two-leg parlays on the Michigan Wolverines to win the college football national championship at +800 odds and paired it with two Super Bowl exacta at 130-1 odds: 49ers to beat the Ravens and Ravens to beat the 49ers.

The Wolverines defeated the Washington Huskies 34-13 in the title game on Jan. 10 and both the 49ers and Ravens received first-round byes as a result of their No. 1 seed standing.
With the 49ers and Ravens both winning in the divisional round, the bettor now has a realistic shot to win — or hedge — his bet.
Will this bettor cash one of his tickets?
