LAS VEGAS — Before Shohei Ohtani’s start against the White Sox on Tuesday, Caesars Sportsbook offered a same-game parlay on its mobile app on the Angels to win and their two-way star to hit a home run and surpass 7 1/2 strikeouts.
Countless bettors cashed in at +850 odds on the same-game parlay — which until recently hadn’t been offered in Nevada by Caesars — when Ohtani homered twice and had 10 strikeouts in Los Angeles’ 4-2 win over Chicago.
“That game was magical if you’re an Angels fan — and a bettor if you bet on Ohtani,” said Kevin Fulmer, Caesars Entertainment vice president of digital sports.
