California man wins $3 million betting on Vikings game
In a remarkable stroke of luck, a California man has won $3 million after betting on the Minnesota Vikings to win their game against the New Orleans Saints.
The man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, placed his bet at the Harrah's casino in Las Vegas. He is now the proud owner of a $3 million dollar pay out.
"I just had a feeling about this game," said the excited winner. "I'm so happy that my hunch was right."
This is not the first time that the man has enjoyed some success gambling, but it is certainly the biggest win of his career. He says that he will use the money to help pay for his children's education and to make some much-needed home improvements.
The Minnesota Vikings went into Sunday's game as underdogs, with odds of 4/7 according to most bookmakers. But they managed to pull off a stunning 29-19 victory, thanks largely to two touchdown catches by Stefon Diggs in the last few minutes of the game.
It was an emotional victory for Vikings fans, who have suffered through years of disappointment. The last time the team reached the playoffs was in 2009, and they had never won a Super Bowl before this year.
This surprising victory is yet another example of how sports betting can produce unexpected outcomes. It is also a reminder that gambling should be done responsibly, and that it can be a risky way to make money.
How one man won big by betting on the Vikings
In the fall of 2017, news outlets were abuzz with the story of an anonymous Minnesota Vikings fan who had placed a $1,000 bet on his team to win the Super Bowl and walked away with a cool $100,000 windfall. How had he known they would go all the way?
As it turns out, this savvy sports fan had made a shrewd decision by betting on the Vikings well before the start of the season. at odds of +6600 (meaning he would have won $6600 if he'd placed a $100 bet), their chances of winning the Super Bowl appeared relatively slim, but thanks to some impressive play on the part of quarterback Case Keenum and a gutsy defense, they made it all the way to the big game.
For sports fans who like to gamble on games, this story is a perfect example of how taking a chance on an underdog can pay off big time. So next time your team is facing long odds, don't be afraid to put your money where your mouth is and place a bet!

New Jersey man wins $1 million betting on Vikings game
Last Sunday, New Jersey resident 68-year-old William Hill bet $110 on the Minnesota Vikings to win their game against the New Orleans Saints. The result: a 34-14 victory for the Vikings, which means Hill took home a cool $1 million.
This isn't Hill's first big win; in fact, he's something of a gambling pro. "I've been betting on sports for over 50 years," said Hill in an interview with ABC News. "I mostly bet on football and basketball."
Hill, who has reportedly been betting as much as $5,000 per game, says that his strategy is simple: he looks for teams that are undervalued by the bookmakers. And it seems to have worked out well for him – this latest win is his fourth seven-figure payday.
Not all of Hill's bets have ended in victory, of course; he's also had his share of losses. But lucky for him, those haven't been nearly as costly as his wins.
When asked what he plans to do with his windfall, Hill said that he's going to use it to pay off some bills and take a trip to Las Vegas. We're sure that Sin City has plenty of casinos that would be happy to take his money!
