Even with a low stake, parlay bets are one of the most rewarding bets anyone can make when it comes to gambling in an online casino in Malaysia. Despite being tagged as the riskiest type of betting, most sports bettors go for higher odds than the lower odds that 1×2, over/under, and BTTS markets usually offer. What do most winners have in common? –extreme luck.
Here are some of the biggest parlay winners in the history of sports betting. And when we say winners, this means millions or at least several hundred thousand by betting a few dollars in a sportsbook from their bankroll.
