Talk about a winning weekend.
While some of you spent your weekend doing normal type activities, you know like going to Home Depot, or possibly heading to Bath, Bed, and and Beyond, if you were lucky, others spent their few days off from the work week by cashing betting tickets. Part of the push from Sportsbooks to acquire new customers is to offer some pretty sweet incentives to sign up. Some books are giving Bettors free action to get them hooked on the game, and while most of the time they amount to absolutely nothing, sometimes those free bets can turn into a windfall of cash.
One bettor took his free bet to NASCAR country, and nailed a really big one. The Bettor turned a $13.49 free bet into over $999,000 with a four-leg parlay of drivers to finish in Top 10.
His drivers finished 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th.
See the ticket below, it’s been confirmed:

Via the BET Ticket, the bettor had Cody Ware, B.J. McLeod, Landon Cassill, and David Ragan to all finish in the Top 10.
You can see the results below:
1. (21) Austin Dillon, Chevrolet, 160 laps, 41 points.
2. (6) Tyler Reddick, Chevrolet, 160, 39.
3. (14) Austin Cindric, Ford, 160, 34.
4. (35) Landon Cassill, Chevrolet, 160, 0.
5. (37) Noah Gragson, Chevrolet, 160, 0.
6. (33) Cody Ware, Ford, 160, 31.
7. (36) BJ McLeod, Ford, 160, 0.
8. (13) Martin Truex Jr, Toyota, 160, 44.
9. (34) David Ragan, Ford, 160, 28.
10. (22) Kyle Busch, Toyota, 160, 44.
As you can see it was a close one, as the bettor needed David Ragan to finish in the Top 10, and he ended up in the 9 slot.
Twitter reacted to the huge payout, and did some arguing over if he can withdraw the winnings from a promo bet:
Decent problem to have

Does this just fall under "cost of doing business" or do the books make changes to prevent a repeat scenario?

Could you imagine the stress of the last lap? Awesome for that person.

Talk about a nice return on your investment.
This is exactly why you take advantage of any free bet. The Books know what they’re doing, they’re in it for the long game.
