The Cincinnati Reds' historic 11-game win streak has been absurdly profitable for bettors
A $10 bet on the Reds at the start of the streak would've won $16,819.84 by now
The Cincinnati Reds are in the midst of a highly improbable win streak.
After the team notched a 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, the streak extended to a stunning 11 wins. The team now leads the NL Central and has posted the longest win streak in franchise history since 1957.
If you think things are going incredibly well for the Reds right now, just imagine life for a Cincinnati bettor.
If you bet $10 on the moneyline for Cincinnati at the start of this streak and rolled over the winnings each day so far, you’d have a whopping $16,819.84.
That’s a lot of money to bet on a baseball team that’s been in the MLB’s basement for quite some time.
The Reds have won 11 straight games, the team's longest win streak since 12 straight in 1957.
