Bettor Wins $2.1M on Texas Comeback

A bettor cashed in $2.1 million after Texas staged a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback to beat Ohio State 24-23, turning what looked like a losing $1.2 million wager into a massive payday.

The bettor placed $1.2 million on Texas moneyline at -127, a wager that appeared doomed when the Longhorns trailed 23-3 entering the fourth quarter. However, Texas scored 21 unanswered points, with Hollywood Smothers scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 25 seconds remaining to secure the improbable victory.

In addition to the seven-figure payout, another bettor turned a $10,000 in-game wager on Texas at +700 into an $80,000 total payout. The weekend also featured a long-shot first touchdown scorer in the Patriots-Seahawks game and a 12-leg college football parlay that went the distance. capturengo.org
