A guy named Yuri Andrade aka the Super Bowl streaker stole the show when he ran onto the field and gained more yards than the entire Kansas City Chiefs offense. He sprinted all the way from the stands to the end zone in the fourth quarter of the game. Apparently, for the pitch-intruder, there was more to it than just simply going viral and delaying the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl win.
Andrade later revealed (via TMZ) that he was in line to win upward of $370,000 after his crazy stunt. The streaker put in a $50,000 bet on someone running onto the field during the game via Bovada which offered a +750 odds. He even dragged a friend to cause a diversion so he can climb over the fences and run into the gridiron. Though he did get arrested and was charged for trespassing, that should be a small fine to pay if you're set to take home more than a quarter-million dollars.
Unfortunately, just like his short stint on national television, Andrade's successful win was rather short-lived as Bovada officially voided his bet due to tampering.
“Our players have always trusted us to ensure the integrity of all props offered in our sportsbook,” a Bovada spokesperson told Front Office Sports (via sportbible.com). “We will continue to make sure that any publicity stunts or ill-intended behavior cannot adversely affect the outcome of a player's wager.”
It seems as though Andrade didn't think his stunt through. Aside from the fact that the Super Bowl streaker misses his huge payout, he also had to pay a $500 cash bond to avoid jail time.
