Dez Bryant cannot stop hitting big parlays.
The former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver has been riding his good fortune all the way to the casino counter, this time, cashing a $1,000 five-leg parlay across three different sports betting markets.
Bryant took to X and posted his ticket before the final event of his five-leg parlay began, letting his followers know that Taylor Fritz needed to win his tennis match at the Delray Beach Open on Monday to turn $1,000 into $25,415.65.
Bryant’s other bets in the parlay featured two college basketball bets on Minnesota at -5.5 and Utah moneyline at +200 odds, paired with the Colorado Avalanche moneyline at -260 odds and under 6.5 total goals in the Los Angeles Kings versus Pittsburgh Penguins game.
Winning parlays
Bryant has cashed two big parlay wagers less than a week apart. His first parlay was a massive 13-leg parlay wagered exclusively on college basketball spread and moneyline odds. The former NFL wideout turned a $767.68 stake into $416,970.35.
The first parlay was placed on the BetMGM mobile app, but the second five-leg parlay that was sealed with a Fritz outright win came on a ticket that Bryant placed at the casino. He opted to take his winnings from both parlays at the counter, posting on X once again to celebrate back-to-back lucrative paydays, including a post captioned “FRITZ!!!” with another video of his $25,415.65 five-leg parlay winnings getting counted at the counter.

Sportsbook sponsorships
Bryant recently mentioned at least one upcoming meeting set up with major online sportsbook operators following his $416,970.65 13-leg parlay win on BetMGM. Online sportsbooks tend to capitalize on major wins placed on their platform, like Bryant’s viral parlays. This is especially true for Bryant since he is a popular figure due to his successful career as a Cowboys wide receiver.
Legal sports betting continues to expand in the United States, with major online sportsbooks such as FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, and ESPN BET obtaining licenses in as many legal sports betting states as possible to gain revenue. NBA star LeBron James joined DraftKings as a talent ambassador last month.
