Pro sports bettor Brad Feinberg placed a long shot futures bet on the Rangers to defeat the Diamondbacks in the 2023 World Series. He stands to win $80,000 if that ticket cashes.
Pro sports bettor stands to win $80,000 on a futures ticket he placed in June if Texas defeats Arizona in the 2023 World Series.The 2023 World Series matchup between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks is an unlikely one to most of the sports viewing andThe sports bettor and Philadelphia native is holding a World Series exacta ticket that has the Rangers winning the World Series over the Diamondbacks.
It’s not rare for the teams with the best regular-season records to fall well short of the World Series. That scenario played out again this year when the 104-win Braves, 100-win Dodgers, 101-win Baltimore Orioles, and 99-win Rays all failed to even reach the Championship Series. Months later, both clubs snuck into the playoffs with wild-card spots. The Rangers swept the Rays in the first round then defeated the one-seed Orioles three games to none in the ALDS. The Diamondbacks swept the Milwaukee Brewers in their wild-card series and did the same to the heavily favored Dodgers in the NLDS.
The 2011 Phils had the best record in baseball at 102-60. Yet, they lost in the NLDS to the St. Louis Cardinals in five games. He was rooting for his Rangers-Diamondbacks exacta and though both teams found themselves in 3-2 series holes, they won their next two games on the road to clinch a spot in the World Series and keep Feinberg’s ticket alive.It also provided him an opportunity to hedge on his World Series exacta. When Arizona won the pennant, Feinberg says he locked in a bet on the Diamondbacks to win the World Series at +167 — one that will pay out at $50,000.
