A bettor recently won $65,000 without ever watching college basketball.
March Madness, the thrilling NCAA Tournament, captivates sports fans and bettors alike. With 67 games spread across three weeks, it’s a whirlwind of excitement.
But how did this bettor manage to win big without even tuning in to the games?
One bettor won $65K after a 30-second bracket build…
He apparently 'has never watched a college basketball game' in his life 😭

Here’s the secret: streaming services. Let’s break it down:
1. Paramount+ With Showtime: For games airing on CBS, viewers can stream the action on Paramount+ with Showtime. A subscription costs $11.99 monthly and includes a seven-day free trial. You can also add this service to your Amazon Prime Video account.
2. Hulu + Live TV/ESPN+ Bundle: This bundle lets you stream every game of the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments. It offers 95 channels, including CBS, TBS, TNT, truTV, ABC, and ESPN. Plus, it has unlimited DVR storage, so you won’t miss any buzzer-beaters. The cost ranges from $76.99 per month with ads to $89.99 without ads.
3. Fubo: Fubo provides hundreds of channels and 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. You can even watch sporting events up to 72 hours after they air. The current offer is $59.99 for the first month with a seven-day free trial. Note that Fubo doesn’t carry truTV, TBS, or TNT.
4. Sling TV: If you’re looking for a more cost-effective option, Sling TV lets you watch any March Madness game that doesn’t air on CBS. It’s a great choice for budget-conscious viewers.
So, while the bettor skipped watching the games, he made smart use of streaming services to turn his wager into a $65,000 win.
Remember, though, betting involves risks, and winnings aren’t guaranteed. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, seek help.
