The bet was placed in January, ahead of the NFL Wild Card weekend, by a BetMGM customer in Colorado, according to a sportsbook spokesperson. The customer used a $1,000 bonus bet — a promotional credit BetMGM gives to new customers — to make the parlay that featured:

Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl (+650)

Real Madrid to win UEFA Champions League (+1100)

Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup (+550)

The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl in February and Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund last Saturday in the Champions League final, leaving only the Oilers to complete the parlay and putting the bettor in position to hedge the wager, if they choose to.

Edmonton is listed at +110 to win the Stanley Cup Final at ESPN BET.
