Putting bets up on different games is quite common in the tennis world, but at the same time, winning all the bets is like carrying huge luck. According to the New York Post, a tennis bettor invested $28.60 but got a return of around $486,000. He won this insane bet by putting his money on a 10-match parlay.

Apparently, this is one of the biggest wins in sports betting history that drew perfect results from an odd perspective. He made tough predictions in 10 continuous matches, some of which even carried the probability of 0.01% of winning chances.

However, every leg hit at the right spot, which included six set predictions and six matches from tournament qualifiers in Stockholm and Tokyo. The 10 matches in which he invested also consist of the Korea Open final, which Jessica Pegula won, and the ATP Shanghai Masters final, which was played between Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz.

When the tennis world saw a growth in illegal betting 

According to DraftKings, a sports betting firm, they received around $8000 in illegal tennis bets placed in Massachusetts. In addition, 864 illicit bets totaling $7,867 were included in the bets placed during that period. The bets were put on the Universal Tennis Ranking Tour, and the incident lasted for 12 days.

Despite the fact that the wagers were against the law, they may be made on other UTR events, but not on Massachusetts-based events. However, it was discovered after a thorough inquiry that this incident was the result of a misunderstanding between the trading team and the trading compliance team.
