A few bettors had reason to celebrate this weekend and it wasn't just on Father's Day. BetMGM released data on a few notable winning bets from the past few days, including one on the betting odds for Jon Rahm's U.S. Open win Sunday night and a jaw-dropping nine-leg MLB parlay. Let's take a look at some of these big pay outs for a number of fortunate bettors.

One bettor at BetMGM put $1,500 on Rahm's +1000 odds to win the U.S. Open before Round 1 and it turned into a $15,000 pay out. 12.3% of the tickets and 17.9% of the handle were on Rahm to win.
When the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Brooklyn Nets in Game 7 on Saturday to take that series, it was also a major W for one bettor. Someone placed $200,000 on the Bucks +170 to win the series and saw a $340,000 pay out. The Phoenix Suns-Los Angeles Clippers Game 1 also resulted in a $100,000 win for one bettor who placed $110,000 on the first half Under of 112.
MLB bet winners included an astounding nine-leg parlay win on Thursday that turned $50 into $13,871. And it wasn't all chalk either. This one included the San Francisco Giants -200, the New York Yankees -115, the Chicago Cubs +100, the Atlanta Braves -190, the Colorado Rockies +140, the San Diego Padres -190, the Los Angeles Angels -225, the Seattle Mariners +145, and the Houston Astros -1.5 (+150).
Other big MLB bets on Friday included $165,000 to win $100,000 on the Minnesota Twins -165, $120,000 to win $100,000 on the Twins -120 moneyline for the first five innings, and $100,000 to win $115,000 on the Mariners +115 moneyline for the first five innings.
Congrats to these winners who started the summer off with a bang and some extra cash.
