Whatever was left under your tree for Christmas this year almost certainly checked in as a distant second to what one NFL bettor received for the holiday. After rolling out a $5 parlay with 14 total plays, 13 of which had hit going into Monday night’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, the man needed just one thing to turn $5 into $489,383.01.
A Christian McCaffrey touchdown.
While the 49ers ultimately lost 33-19 to the Ravens, fortunately, the bettor only needed until just before halftime for his dream scenario to unfold. McCaffrey scored on a nine-yard touchdown run with 3:23 remaining in the second quarter, and the bettor’s reaction was everything you’d hope and more.

How awesome is that? And his decision to sport a Santa Claus jacket just makes it even better. Congrats to the bettor, whose Christmas was capped off with one of the most incredible single bets we’ve seen of the NFL season.
