One lucky gambler cashed out a major bet on Thursday night following the Broncos-Colts game.
In what was a snoozefest of a game, this gambler found a prop that made watching the awful showing somewhat enjoyable. They wagered that neither team would score a touchdown. The odds on that bet were 100/1.

Most everyone who actually watched the game from start to finish was livid about having to see two putrid offenses in a primetime snorer.
Both passers threw a pair of interceptions, with Russell Wilson tossing a pick in the final three minutes of regulation as the Broncos drove for a game-sealing touchdown. The Colts went on to kick a game-tying field goal after that Stephon Gilmore turnover, making this bettor wait through an overtime.
Gambler sweats out $10K bet in Broncos-Colts game
OT would be exciting (for this game, at least), as the Colts marched down the field to take a 12-9 lead on the opening drive. Denver would then drive inside the five-yard line before getting stopped on a fourth-and-one play.
Rather than run the football on that fourth-down play, Denver put the ball in Russ’s hands, which gave Amazon analyst Richard Sherman flashbacks to the 2014 Super Bowl.
It was a truly fitting end to the boring matchup.
After sweating out the final play, the bettor’s ticket cashed in with neither team reaching the endzone. At 100/1 odds, this $100 wager quickly turned into a $10,000 payday.
At least there was one winner in this awful Thursday night contest.
