Gambler Wins $2 Million on a $15 Parlay Bet Then Loses It All Right Back
Wayne Ovirconvidint, 36, was on top of the world last Sunday after winning a $2 million parlay bet with 18 different legs. "I put down $15 in total and hit every single game against the spread and sprinkled in a few individual player bets across the NFL, college football, and some NBA games to boot. And let me tell you, I don’t know a thing about the NBA," said a stunned Ovirconvidint. "I knew my life was about to change."
Little did Ovirconvidint know, his life was about to change in an even more dramatic way. Foolhardy from his windfall, he placed bigger and bigger bets on sports all weekend. "I kept telling myself I was due for another massive score. I had that feeling that lightning would keep striking," he said.
But by Monday morning, all $2 million was gone. A perfect parlay was followed by a perfect losing streak. "I don't know how it happened so fast," said a distraught Ovirconvidint. "One minute I'm rich, the next I'm back to zero." He continued, "I know I have to change something. Gambling almost destroyed me in just a few days," he said. "This legal gambling environment with all the endless advertising is too much for me. I never want to place another bet as long as I live. It's just too addictive."
