That any sportsbook anywhere would accept a single $50,000 bet on such a perilous prop is inconceivable. Secondly, offshore books who do accept these sorts of wagers almost universally place limits on such bets of no more than $250. No legal sports betting sites in the United States would ever receive clearance to take such a wager given the ease in which the outcome could be pre-determined or controlled. Questionable math aside, the nature of the bet itself was a giant red flag. There was no legal action on that particular prop bet available in Nevada.Ī spokesman for the unregulated offshore betting site Bovada on Wednesday told that it has “identified some betting irregularities” on this Super Bowl 55 prop bet and has denied payment on wagers that were made with “malicious intent.” The sportsbook is refunding all “no” wagers placed on the “streaker” wager and has paid out on the “yes” bets that “didn't have malicious intent,” the spokesman said. He would not identify which sportsbook took the action. He also claimed he sent someone to make the same prop bet in Las Vegas on Sunday morning. Andrade said he “called every other person I know” and asked them to set up accounts at Bovada and make the bet on a fan running on the field during the game. sent an email to the address on Andrade’s Instagram page, but no response was received.Īndrade told Tampa radio station WILD 94.1 that he planned the stunt to help a partner raise publicity for an on-line porn site and then became aware of the +750 “streaker” prop odds at unregulated offshore site Bovada. Any fourth-grader knows the net on this alleged profit of $375,000 would be $374,500 after a $500 fine, not $374,000.
The caption read: “Dudes are good at math.” No so much. That meme claimed he netted $374,000 after posting the $500 bond. His Instagram bio begins with “Super Bowl Streaker.” He shared a meme highlighting the purported wager with an image of him eluding a tackle. The gambling-angle meme quickly spread, and naturally Andrade joined the action, so to speak. Andrade paid a $500 cash bond and was released from jail Monday. Police arrested 31-year-old Yuri Andrade of Boca Raton and charged him with trespassing. 1 should have been that the act itself did not satisfy the prop bet.
The “streaker” was never completely nude but wore a pink leotard promoting an online-porn site. There, he was met with a swarm of security personnel. The scantily clad runner covered over 100 yards untouched before sliding at the 3-yard-line at the far end of the field. A man ran onto the field during Super Bowl 55 at Raymond James Stadium. What HappenedĪ photo meme spread quickly across social media Monday alleging that someone placed such a bet and “cleared $374,000” after paying $1000 to “get out of jail.” The issue is that not nearly enough people looked or knew what to look for before spreading this Super Bowl betting story. The red flags were all there for those who knew enough to look.
But by that point, the gambling-angle meme had already gone viral and was being pushed socially by multiple verified media and sports accounts. Those familiar with the offshore and legal gambling space raised multiple issues with the claim and shared their concerns. If you wanted to create a fascinating tale about someone who made a $50,000 bet at +750 that there would be a streaker at the Super Bowl and then did the streaking himself, there may be no better place to start.īut it would be just that. “A Florida Man streaking at the Super Bowl …”
