Some degen out there is starting the week with an extra $160,000 in their pocket, and we're all just sitting here wondering what it feels like to actually hit one of these.

A Fanatics Sportsbook customer put $2,000 on a five-leg player prop parlay during Sunday night's Bears-49ers shootout. Every leg connected. The payout? $159,685.44.

The Quick Hit

• The bet: $2,000 on a five-leg player prop parlay
• The return: $159,685.44
• The odds: +7843 (about 78.5/1) after a 33% profit boost
• The game: Bears vs. 49ers, Sunday Night Football Week 17

Breaking Down the Ticket

This wasn't some random dart throw at longshot props. The bettor actually put together a coherent thesis on how the game would play out.

The parlay included Ricky Pearsall to record four or more receptions — a prop that seemed reasonable given San Francisco's need to push the ball downfield in what everyone expected to be a high-scoring affair. And that's exactly what happened.

The Bears and 49ers combined for 78 points in one of the wildest Sunday night games of the season. When teams are trading touchdowns like that, player props fly, and this bettor was positioned to capitalize.

The Profit Boost Made It Pop

What separated this from a normal $80k win to a $160k win was the 33% profit boost promotion. Fanatics offers these regularly, and the smart play is always to use them on higher-odds parlays where the boost has maximum impact.

At the original odds, this would have been a nice hit. With the boost pushing it to +7843? Life-changing territory.

Not the Only Winner That Night

The same Sunday night game produced another parlay hero. A different Fanatics customer put together a $50 five-leg parlay of anytime touchdown scorers — all tight ends.

Read that again. Five tight ends. All scoring touchdowns. In the same game.

At odds of +41074 (about 411/1), that $50 turned into $20,587.29. The balls on that bettor to look at five tight ends and say "yeah, they're all finding the end zone tonight."

A third bettor went bigger, putting $5,000 on a four-leg same-game parlay in the Bears-49ers matchup. At +2100 odds, that one cashed for $105,000 in profit.

The Bottom Line

Sunday Night Football was basically printing money for anyone brave enough to stack player props. Three separate bettors walked away with five and six-figure payouts from the same game.

We're not saying you should blindly tail five-leg parlays. The vast majority of these bets die horrible deaths. But every once in a while, when the stars align and the profit boosts hit right, someone gets to wake up on Monday morning a lot richer than they went to bed.

That someone could be you. It probably won't be. But it could be.
