Dave Portnoy Loses $362K Bet After Washington Player Falls Short of End Zone
The Barstool Sports founder's high-stakes NFL parlay unraveled when a critical touchdown failed to materialize in the Commanders' victory.
- Dave Portnoy placed a $10,000 parlay bet with odds of +3629 that could have netted him $362,900 if three NFL players scored touchdowns.
- The bet hinged on Brian Robinson Jr. of the Washington Commanders scoring a touchdown, but he was stopped at the 1-yard line late in the game.
- Portnoy expressed outrage on social media, calling for investigations into the Commanders, DraftKings, and Robinson himself, citing frustration over game decisions.
- The other two legs of the parlay succeeded, with Jonathan Taylor scoring two touchdowns and Kenny Pickett scoring one, but Robinson's missed opportunity sealed the loss.
- Portnoy, known for his high-risk sports betting, has had both significant wins and losses in the past, including a $1.65 million win on the Masters and a $1 million loss on the Stanley Cup.
