After 10 seasons in the NFL, ex-receiver Dez Bryant has been open about his high-stakes gambling habit.
Most recently, Byrant cashed in on a 13-leg college basketball parlay that saw him turn $767 into $416,970. The bet had +54215 odds to win and was capped off with a +105 Nevada defeat of UNLV 69-66. Following the final win, Bryant posted a video on X as he collected his winnings.
Prior to his six-digit win, Bryant was only one game short of hitting another college basketball parlay. In a bet placed on the previous day’s slate of games, he wagered $900 to profit almost $1 million, but came one leg short as Washington lost to California.

Recently, Bryant also placed a $1,000 parlay which included needing American tennis player Taylor Fritz to beat Tommy Paul in the Delray Beach Open championship match. As his recent good luck has shown, Fritz won and Bryant profited $25,000. Though he’s undoubtedly had much success gambling recently, it is unclear if Bryant has any particular strategy regarding who he bets on.
“Honestly I have no clue,” Bryant said. “I just put [Fritz] down because it looked good.”
Though Bryant made almost $58 million through his player contracts, his most recent $416,000 win is big money for any gambler. The Cowboys career receiving touchdowns leader has been very active in the sports gambling world in the few years following his NFL career and continues to document his wagers and winnings online.
