He made a nice cut-back move to elude his would-be captors at the 37-yard line, set his sights on the end zone and scampered down to the 1-yard line where, inexplicably, he executed a baseball slide and avoided the end zone. The “Florida man” who ran on the field was identified as Yuri Andrade, 31.ĭespite the questionable judgment in accepting the challenge to perform his stunt, Andrade showed some agility. So you’re saying there’s a chance that there may have been action? Maybe a syndicate all betting lower limits at once?” In a later tweet, Everson quoted the source as saying, “IF this dude was able to get down $50K, I highly doubt it was one bet. “We aren't looking to make much money off of them, but we definitely don't want to lose a ton and open ourselves up for any type of shadiness.” Can't speak for any other book, but there is a reason our novelty props have limits from $10 to $100. Say a book was dumb enough to post $1K limits on this.

But even still, that would be a ton of bets/bettors.

“No book in their right mind would take $50K limits on that,” Everson’s spokesperson is quoted as saying via Everson’s tweet thread.

Patrick Everson, a senior writer for Las Vegas-based, seemed to have a good grip on the sports-betting aspect of the late-game antics.Įverson wrote, in part: “A lot of hullaballoo today about the #SuperBowl streaker purportedly making a $50K bet at +750 that there would be a streaker during the game.”Ībsent any proof to this point, it appears unlikely the gentleman on the field would have been able to make such a bet.Įverson cited a “global-market sportsbook spokesperson” as debunking the idea largely because of the amount rumored to have been wagered.

Yuri Andrade - the man who broke onto the field while wearing a pink thong bathing suit - says he came up with the idea for the stunt after seeing a prop bet that offered GREAT ODDS if someone actually ran onto the field during the SB55.Andrade explained the whole thing during an interview with WILD 94.1 - saying the gambling website Bovada offered +750 odds ($100 bet pays $750) so he decided to take matters into his own hands.He called up everyone he knew and had them BET on someone storming the field - then he got tickets to the game and recruited a buddy to serve as a decoy.Andrade says once security was distracted by his pal - he ran onto the field … and the rest is history.The 31-year-old says he also sent someone to Vegas to make the prop bet at a sportsbook there - but he didn’t identify which book took the action.Bottom line … Andrade says he walked away with $375,000 in profit!!Of course, he was arrested and booked for trespassing - but chalks the whole thing up as no big deal.The worst part was he couldn’t pick the wedgie that was up his ass while in custody because he was in handcuffs … but he’s clearly over that now.Kevin Harlan's call of the idiot on the field (w/video from : /iAI7WDi5xxĪ restless social media community launched a discussion about “a streaker” being among the myriad Super Bowl prop bets available.Ī day later, it was clear the fan’s sprint was not a spur-of-the-moment idea – and there probably was not any legitimate bookmaking company on the hook for the payout.įirst, the idea of a potential wager then, who was behind the stunt.
