You didn't have to watch the Super Bowl to know that a guy decided to run across the field in a bright pink Swimsuit. Or wrestling singlet. Or was it a leotard? Whatever it was, it was both hilarious and awful at the same time.
Well, this "Super Bowl Streaker" didn't just happen to have one too many beers and decide to do something crazy. Nope, it was all part of a brilliant scheme where he had put $50,000 on a prop bet that had the odds of there being a streaker at the Super Bowl at 15-to-2. This meant that when he jumped that fence and went prancing around the field, his $50,000 bet turned into around $374,000 cash. Of course you have to factor in whatever fines he had to pay.
Of course, this is only if you believe the guy. I personally think it is in no way possible. Even if he was able to bet that much on a prop bet, there's no chance that the money he won won't eventually end up having to be paid back. There has to be a protocol in place for this type of scenario. Think about it, there are prop bets where you can put money on what color the gatorade will be. Obviously someone has to physically fill that gatorade jug before the game, what's stopping them from placing a bet? Or what Kept Eric Church from cashing in on how long the Anthem would last? There has to be a rule, a law, a policy, something. Either way, this guy will be remembered for years to come.
