Former NFL WR Dez Bryant Hit A Massive College Basketball Parlay
Dez Bryant just got richer.
The former Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens receiver took to social media Saturday to reveal he became $400,000 richer over an insane parlay.
The multi-time Pro Bowler put money down on several college basketball games.
Colorado at USC
Santa Clara at San Diego
Wyoming at San Jose State
Portland University at Pepperdine
Nevada at UNLV
He hit on them all and ended up hitting a $416,970.35 potential payout. He posted his screenshot as proof.
The biggest moment in his parlay was the Nevada Wolf Pack’s second-half comeback. What a ride.
Bryant later clarified that the actual amount pocketed was around $317,000 after accounting for a 24% tax on gambling winnings. Either way, that is still $300K more than he originally had.

Bryant has had quite the luck this year. Last month, he played a bet on a seven-leg parlay that included Lamar Jackson scoring a touchdown and the Chiefs beating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round games.
With those two things along with the other five parts of his parlay hitting, Bryant said he made $6.7 million.
The entire seven-leg parlay last month was Jackson scoring a touchdown, the Chiefs beating the Bills, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce scoring a touchdown, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs scoring a touchdown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans scoring a touchdown, plus San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and tight end George Kittle scoring touchdowns.
Dez Bryant played 9 seasons for the Cowboys and Ravens. He had 537 catches for 7,506 yards and scored 77 touchdowns. He has never officially retired but it seems he is done playing in the league.
