Remember This? Blues Fan Collects $100K With A $400 Bet After Stanley Cup Win

St Louis fan Scott Berry turned 400 bucks into $100,000 when Blues won the 2019 Stanley Cup!

This is how it feels to think that you might win $100K:

Everyone told @ScottABerry1 to hedge his $400 bet that would yield $100,000 if the Blues won the series. After Game 1, they called him an idiot. He flew in for Game 2 and walked out a winner. Here’s his reaction from his seat (NSFW)…Full story tomorrow on @ActionNetworkHQ pic.twitter.com/qxp1gziiJB

That’s Scott Berry after Game 2 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals.

Here’s his bet slip for what turned out to be one of the best bets of the 2018/19 NHL Season:

This piece of paper, purchased in Vegas in January for $400 is now worth $100,000. Remarkable. pic.twitter.com/l7ffGIgptT

Yep, that’s 250:1 odds for St Louis Blues to win the Stanley Cup.

Let’s recap the main deets:

• Bet made: in January 2019
• Wager: $400
• Potential loot: $100,000
• Blues’ position in the league at the time of the wager: 31/31

In January 2019 St Louis was the bottom of the bottom, dead last in the league.

And guess what happened in June?

St Louis Blues won game #7 of the Finals against Boston Bruins 4 – 1 and collected the first ever Stanley Cup in franchise history, and Scott Berry made 100,000 bucks.

Darren Rovell from The Action Network reported on Berry’s feelings during the match:

“You know it’s so funny, it’s like I never in a million years thought I would be watching a game where I either am a $100,000 victor or I’m walking away with my tail between my legs.

I’ve got all faith in these guys, I still think they’re gonna do it

But, I’ve got all faith in these guys, I still think they’re gonna do it, they’re a better road team so tonight’s gonna be an emotional roller coaster. You’ll probably see me in tears either way.”

Scott Berry is a gutsy guy.

Or wouldn’t you have hedged that bet before the game #7? Say, put $20,000 on Boston to win the last match and collect at least $20K x Boston odds to win the match? I would have probably done that.

Congratulations to Scott Berry

Well played, Scott Berry, well played indeed.
