You can’t ask for much more than what the 2025 World Series delivered. A marathon Game 3 A home underdog who has two games to win the World Series. A pitcher recording three wins, including in a spectacular Game 7.Well, there’s maybe one more thing you could ask for: A six-figure win betting on World Series odds. A Caesars Sports customer got just that while sweating out Saturday night’s heroics.Read on for more on that wager, plus oddsmakers’ reactions to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ thrilling victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

Combine each of those team’s odds, and you arrive at +23156, or almost 232/1. That’s certainly a long shot.The first three legs have been in for months. Florida won the conference title on 28 May, en-route to its second straight Stanley Cup. Then Indiana and PSG delivered on the same day, with the Pacers clinching the East and PSG winning the Champions League on May 31.It’s been a five-month wait since, capped by a deliriously entertaining World Series. In Game 7 Saturday night, the Dodgers’ Will Smith homered in the top of the 11th inning. In the bottom of the 11th, Mookie Betts turned a game-ending double play, securing L.A.’s 5-4 victory.That also secured the parlay, with the customer turning a profit of $162,092 (total payout $162,792).I’d say that’s probably worth the wait.Arguably just as impressive: A DraftKings Sportsbook customer used a $100 bonus bet — ostensibly a free ride — on a four-leg parlay that also took several months to deliver. The picks were:Rory McIlroy would win the Masters, the Montreal Canadiens would make the Stanley Cup playoffs, San Antonio Spurs’ Stephon Castle will win NBA Rookie Of The Year and the Dodgers to win World Series.The odds on these selections were +69354, which is almost 694/1. But the ticket got there, and the bettor bagged $69,354.A Classic Fall ClassicSaturday night’s ending capped an instant classic of a World Series. Yoshinobu Yammoto, the Dodgers’ starter for Game 2, pitched a complete game. Then Freddie Freeman’s walkoff homer for L.A. to end an 18-inning Game 3. Toronto dominated Los Angeles in Games 4 & 5. The Dodgers rebounding to win Games 6 and 7 on the road.In Game 7, there were too many highlights to count, including Miguel Rojas’ solo homer in the top of the ninth inning to tie it up, Andy Pages’ incredible catch in the bottom of the ninth to secure extra innings, Smith’s 11th-inning, two-out bomb, and Yamamoto pitching the final 2 2/3 innings to record his third win of the series.The final result was great for the public betting masses, but not so much for Caesars Sports and others. Caesars head baseball trader Eric Biggio couldn’t complain.Biggio said that after such a spectacular game, the result of the bets becomes secondary. “I’m speechless. The Game 7 was a game with everything. Yamamoto is now a World Series legend. Rojas also played a crucial role.”It would’ve been a better result for us with the Blue Jays. After a game such as that, baseball won.”The SuperBook had a similar situation to Caesars. They wanted a Blue Jays World Series win.”It was disappointing.” John Murray, SuperBook vice-president, stated that the Blue Jays were the winners. Dave Roberts, the Dodgers’ manager, is ridiculed a lot. He had Rojas there and substituted Pages in centerfield.”You’ve gotta give the Dodgers credit for making all the plays. It’s not what we wanted to see, but it is what it is.”Patrick Everson works as a sports gambling analyst for FOX and a senior reporter for VegasInsider.com.
