The ticket of the day on our site consists of a massive three-leg futures parlay that would pay out $195,840 off just a $40 bet. One leg has already cashed, while the other two are still alive and currently tracking ahead of the value from when our WagerWire user originally placed the ticket. WagerWire currently values this ticket at $2318.

The first leg is the New York Knicks to win the NBA Finals. It was an up-and-down regular season, and even the beginning of the postseason had fans questioning the team. But since those back-to-back losses against the Atlanta Hawks, the Knicks have completely flipped the switch. They’ve now won seven straight games with an average margin of victory of 26.4 points. At one point during Round 1, New York’s title odds dropped as low as +3500, but they now sit around +550 and are expected to be favored in the next round against either the Cleveland Cavaliers or Detroit Pistons.

The second leg, and the only one that has already hit, is the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan put together one of the most dominant tournament runs in recent memory, and this bettor barely had to sweat until the title game. The Wolverines won every NCAA Tournament game by double digits, leading up to the championship matchup against the UConn Huskies.

The final leg is the Buffalo Sabres to win the Stanley Cup. Since returning from the Winter Olympic break, the Sabres have looked like a completely different team. They won 12 of their first 13 games back, causing their odds to skyrocket from the +4000 range down into the high +1000s. Buffalo is currently tied 2-2 in its series against the Montreal Canadiens, and with Game 5 at home tonight, the opportunity is there for this ticket to move one step closer to a life-changing payout. The Sabers currently stand at +1200 on DraftKings to win the Cup a drastic difference from the +5000 number this user got them at.
