TURNING $18 INTO $90,000 WITH NFL BETTING
December 2024 saw one Bovada player skillfully put his NFL betting knowledge to work.
He looked at the opposing defenses for each team and thought some NFL QBs might have a big day. Maybe he played a hunch, or maybe he got into even more details like weather, injury reports, and other analytics.
Fortunately, with Bovada, we’re ready for everything. So there was a bet for just the scenario they were looking for. Heading over to the NFL Red Zone Specials on Bovada’s NFL betting page, this one bet stood out.
In a single bet, any player could choose Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, Brock Purdy, and Josh Allen to each throw for 300 or more yards in their respective games that weekend.
The odds? A cool +50000.
The result? All of those QBs delivered in a big way as they all hit the 300-yard mark. And one $18 bet turned into $90,000 in a single weekend.
GOLF BETTING TURNS $1 INTO $1,000
In January 2024, the PGA Tour’s Sony Open was played in Honolulu, Hawaii. It’s one of hundreds of golf events covered yearly with golf odds at Bovada.
During the very early season of the Tour, a lot of the PGA’s top players don’t make the trip to Hawaii, so the field is more open – meaning more golfers have a shot at winning than in a Major, for example.
One Bovada sports bettor saw this and figured it was their chance. In betting, you can play it safe by going with the player or team with the best odds, or you can go for asymmetrical bets – small wagers with long odds.
At +100000, a bet on Grayson Murray definitely qualified as long odds. But every pro golfer stands a chance at getting hot at any given tournament, and with a field that featured only a handful of top names, Murray was as solid a play as anyone.
The Bovada player saw this and laid down a single dollar. Maybe they picked out Murray only, or maybe they laid down similar bets on several players—not a bad strategy if that’s the case.
In any case, Murray won the Sony Open in a playoff, and they said Aloha to a solid $1,000.
A $1 TENNIS BET SERVES UP $1,500
Bovada covers tennis all year round, from European tournaments to special events and, of course, the Grand Slam events.
When it comes to betting, Bovada tennis offers tons of ways to play along, from picking outright winners to different bets on virtually every serve.
One Bovada tennis bettor played it just right in June at the French Open. They bet $1 on Jasmine Paolini to win her first 3 service games, with odds of +150000.
It was easy to put a positive spin on the outcome. Paolini aced it, winning those first three games on her serve and netting our player $1,500 in the process. No matter what sports you’re into, see if your bet might end up on the 2025 list of big wins.
