Morning Coffee: The Upset That Spoiled My 68-1 Parlay

It’s time to grind.

After a planned vacation during the quietest week on the sports calendar, I’m ready to get back to work.

We are just about one month away from the start of the NCAA football season and 45 days away from the start of the NFL season.

Every year at least one person will tell me that the NHL and NBA seasons crept up on them, but the reality is that a lot of the hard work that goes into planning betting or fantasy-related content for those leagues begins now.

In the spirit of starting off my return with a bang, I placed a 10-leg, cross-sport parlay on FanDuel on Sunday morning.

I didn’t expect a parlay with 68-to-1 odds to cash.

However, the fact that nine legs hit and the one that didn’t was the biggest upset from Sunday’s baseball slate was particularly disappointing.

Ah, it’s good to be back.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Monday July 25th, 2022.

Argos Rally To Beat Shorthanded Riders 

Sunday’s mega FanDuel parlay featured seven baseball games, two tennis matches and a CFL game that appeared to fairly lopsided on paper by kick-off.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders opened as a six-point favourite for their Week 7 match-up versus the Toronto Argonauts at FanDuel.

However, after losing several key contributors including starting quarterback Cody Fajardo due to COVID, the spread moved all the way to Toronto -2 at FanDuel by kick-off.

While the Roughriders actually led by four at the half, the Argonauts rallied and outscored Saskatchewan 17-0 in the fourth quarter for the 31-21 win.

The Argos prevail and take down the Roughriders 31-21
