A bettor is only waiting for one result, the victory of the New York Yankees in the baseball World Series, to settle a bill of almost 700 thousand euros. The bookmaker offers him to ‘cash out’ with 300 thousand euros: the player is thinking about it, he still has little time.

The betting calls antepost they are the ones that require a lot of patience on the part of those who place them: you have to sit there for weeks, often months, waiting for a tournament or competition to end with a winner. This is what it’s about: predicting before the start who will win a championship or a cup. You need a far-sighted eye, competence and obviously a lot of luck, even more so if you don’t play a single, but a quadruplet. That’s what an American bettor did, which now only one event is missing – after having guessed the first three – to close the bill and put just under 700 thousand euros in the bank account. An enormous sum, which however he could decide to leave on the table – already exiting the bet – if he accepted the ‘cash out’ offered to him by the bookmaker, equal to 300 thousand euros. This is also a nice sum, enough to make the player think about it.
The bet placed in March on four events: Scheffler, Florida Panthers and Alcaraz already taken
The multiple – placed last March 30th at a well-known American bookmaker – envisaged the first event quite close in time, and in fact it ‘reached the post’ on April 14th. It was about the success of the golfer Scottie Scheffler in the Augusta Masters (share 5)arrived quite without worries, given the 4 strokes advantage over the second place.

The second prediction is decidedly more difficult, the victory of the Florida Panthers – who had never achieved this before in their entire history – in the NHL hockey championship (odds 7.5). The Panthers almost threw away a 3-0 lead in the final series against the Edmonton Oilers, only managing to close it out in Game 7 on June 24 and banishing their curse.

At that point the bettor was halfway there and had to wait a couple of months to see how his third prediction would go, i.e. Carlos Alcaraz’s victory at Wimbledon, played at 2.75 before the break. The Spaniard managed to repeat his triumph the year before, beating Djokovic in the final on 14 July to the delight of his fans but also of the bettor who put the third ‘taken’ tick on his bill and started making two accounts – which he is still doing – as highlighted on X by an account specialized in betting.

What’s missing to close the bill: the victory of the New York Yankees in the baseball World Series
Faced with a bet of 600 dollars, or just over 550 euros, the player now only needs the fourth and final predicted event to take home the sum of 742,500 dollars, equal to 686 thousand euros. To uncork the bottle of great occasions, he needs that i New York Yankees vincano le World Series 2024or the final series from which the winner of Major League Baseball will emerge. It’s a best-of-seven series that begins October 26 and could go all the way to November 4 if Game 7 is needed.

The Yankees will face the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a match that promises to be very balanced: the Californians are slightly favored over New York, which months ago was obviously played at odds much higher than now by the bettor (12 times the stake). The multiplier of the four odds gives 1237.5 times the stakewhich would transform the initial bet of 550 euros into 686 thousand euros.
The bookmaker’s cash out offer: 304 thousand euros and we’ll end it here
The player still has a few days to think about it: cash out – accepting the bookmaker’s offer – and therefore put 329 thousand dollars in your pocket, equal to 304 thousand euros, or go straight ahead and double the winnings? The many who commented under the tweet have no doubts: dear friend, click on ‘accept’ immediately…
