Ultimately, it looks as though Andrade's plan to bet on himself won't end up in the big payday that he had hoped for, but it appears he came closer to success than many initially suspected. Perez wrote that one bettor who said he had no prior knowledge of the stunt had already had his account shut down by Bovada. "We will continue to make sure that any publicity stunts or ill-intended behavior cannot adversely affect the outcome of a player's wager."Īccording to Perez, Bovada is refunding those that wagered there would not be a fan on the field during the game and paying out winning bets for accounts that were not linked to early knowledge of Andrade's plan. However, Bovada says that it would investigate each wager and void any of the streaker bets made by Andrade or any other. "Our players have always trusted us to ensure the integrity of all props offered in our sportsbook," a Bovada spokesman told Perez. With the odds being +750, Andrade was slated to win 375,000 for his stunt. Perez at Front Office Sports, Bovada was working to identify accounts that knew of Andrade's planned stunt. By making several smaller wagers rather than one big $50,000, it's more conceivable that Andrade could have gotten a healthy wager down on his run.Īccording to a report from A.J. The Florida man who streaked across the field during last Sunday’s Super Bowl reportedly made more than 300,000 on the stunt after it was revealed in an interview with a local radio station. Andrade told a Tampa radio station that he had gotten friends to place wagers from different accounts on the gambling site Bovada, betting that there would be a fan on the field at +750 odds.
