Dez Bryant Wins Nearly $417K on Incredible 13-Leg Parlay
Ex-Cowboy Star Also Hit on Tennis Parlay Despite Having 'No Clue'
Parlays tend not to favor the bold. But how about this Dez Bryant catch?
The former Dallas Cowboys star receiver won big on BetMGM Sportsbook this weekend, hitting an incredible 13-leg men’s college basketball parlay off a $767.68 wager at +54215 odds. His winnings totaled $416,970.35.
After cashing in on the huge bet, Bryant shared a video on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, of a cashier stacking up thousands of dollars in cash.
“That’s love,” Bryant said repeatedly in the 25-second clip, as the cashier counted his winnings.
Nevada overcame an 11-point deficit in the second half to beat UNLV 69-66 on Saturday evening to complete the parlay, giving Bryant an unforgettable win.
With the Wolf Pack trailing by eight at halftime, Bryant asked his followers on X if he should accept a cash-out offer of $79,448.08. Wisely, he wound passing on that opportunity.
“No risk No reward,” Bryant tweeted.
No risk
No reward

Another Dez Bryant Catch
If that weren’t impressive enough, Bryant could have struck it big on a separate 15-leg college basketball parlay. That $900 wager at +115469 odds would have paid out over $1 million, but Washington lost 82-80 to California as a -300 moneyline favorite to wipe out those plans.
Even so, Bryant got back to his winning ways on Monday. This time, Bryant collected $25,415.65 in another parlay with the final leg coming in on Taylor Fritz to beat Tommy Paul in the Delray Beach Open final on Monday. That bet was for $1,000.
That wager was met with some skepticism when Bryant shared it prior to the match on X.
“have you seen tommy paul play the last few weeks?” one user commented. “dude is on fire.”
Bryant, somewhat bemusedly, replied: “Honestly I have no clue, I just put it down because it looked good.”
The top-seeded Fritz, a -140 moneyline favorite, wound up beating Paul 6-2, 6-3 to come through for Bryant on the parlay calculator.
Afterward, Bryant excitedly tweeted “TAYLOR FRITZ,” with a money-mouthed emoji.
Riding a Wave
Bryant’s luck, if you will, is bound to end sooner than later. Hitting on these types of parlays on online gambling websites is incredibly rare. But at the moment, he is riding quite the wave.
A former first-round draft pick out of Oklahoma State, Bryant played 10 seasons in the NFL, including nine with the Cowboys between 2010-17. He was perennially among the league’s top receivers, recording 537 catches for 7,506 yards and 75 touchdowns. The three-time Pro Bowler spent his last season in 2020 with the Baltimore Ravens, recording just six catches and a pair of touchdowns in six games.
Now that he’s onto his next phase of life, Bryant is becoming more active on the betting scene. During Super Bowl 58, Bryant posted a video of himself at a casino placing a live bet for the Kansas City Chiefs to rally past the San Francisco 49ers. That also hit as Kansas City came back from 10-3 down at halftime to win 25-22 in overtime.
Perhaps, we’ll have to see what Bryant dials up next. Stay tuned for more news on this Dez Bryant catch.
