The Yankees’ World Series hopes stand between a bettor and a +2945150 payout.
An Instagram user, _zachweiss, posted his betslip on FanDuel Sportsbook, showing a $4.80 wager to win $141,372.
The bettor has cashed on four of the five legs of his parlay so far:
- Seahawks to win Super Bowl 60 (+800)
- Michigan to win the NCAA Tournament (+450)
- Knicks to win the NBA Finals (+1300)
- Spain to win the World Cup (+400)
- Yankees to win the World Series (+750)
The Seahawks won the Super Bowl on February 8, 29-13. Michigan took control at March Madness, defeating UConn in the national championship game on April 6. Jalen Brunson helped the Knicks earn their first NBA championship since 1973 by beating the Spurs in five games on June 13.
On Sunday, La Roja’s stifling defense held Lionel Messi and Argentina to only two shots in a 1-0 victory in the World Cup Final.
The bettor can cash out the betslip for $14,233.84 or continue letting it ride on the Yankees’ fate.
The Pinstripes were priced at +750 when the wager was placed.
Although the Yankees stand at 56-44 and in second place of the AL East, they’ve struggled mightily without Aaron Judge, who has been out of the lineup since May 31 due to a stress fracture in his right rib.
The Yankees offense has been a shell of itself in his absence, dropping from second-overall in wRC+ to 24th. Judge, who led MLB in WAR for three of the last four years, was tied for the team lead in home runs before hitting the 10-day injured list despite having a slower start to the season than usual.
In addition, Giancarlo Stanton has been sidelined since late April, and the Yankees’ rotation has juggled injury issues all season: Carlos Rodón, Luis Gil and Clarke Schmidt are all not available while Max Fried is expected to return this month from a bone bruise in his left elbow that has kept him out since May 16.
Ben Rice has emerged as a reliable source of offense through this stretch, recording team highs in batting average (.281), home runs (29), RBIs (68) and hits (99) while earning All-Star recognition.
The bullpen is also pulling through, leading the major leagues with a 3.42 ERA.

The Yankees’ odds to win the World Series have dropped to +550 and remain the second-best on the board behind the favored Dodgers at +170.
They also rank 15th in remaining strength of schedule, per Tankathon.
“Cash and put 1K on Yankees if you really believe,” one user on X replied to the post.
With Judge’s timetable for returning to the lineup still uncertain after being transferred to the 60-day injured list last week, the risk makes a potential cash-out decision worth evaluating.
