Super Bowl 2021 streaker Yuri Andrade reportedly bet big on his own trespᴀss on Raymond James Stadium, but him not staying quiet about his wager may cost him nearly $400k in winnings.
Andrade said he bet $50k on there being a streaker at the Super Bowl four years ago between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
At odds of +750 that there would be a pitch invader, that would net Andrade $374k. There’s only one problem, he kept talking about it.
Andrade told a Tampa radio station he got others to place the bet for him on Bovada. With that being a concern for insider information, the betting website would be able to find his wager easily, per Business Insider.
Had Andrade made the $50k worth of bets in smaller increments across different accounts, it would have been harder to track and could have let the streaker cash in on his wild run.
Per Front Office Sports, Bovada has been working to identify Andrade’s accounts and others who may have known about his publicity stunt before kickoff.

‘Our players have always trusted us to ensure the integrity of all props offered in our sportsbook,’ a Bovada representative told FOS. ‘We will continue to make sure that any publicity stunts or ill-intended behavior cannot adversely affect the outcome of a player’s wager.’
Andrade’s streaking incident caused the game to be temporarily stopped with about five minutes left in Tom Brady’s final Super Bowl victory.
On the national radio call of the game, Kevin Harlan gave a legendary call of the incident.
‘Pull up your pants, take off the bra, and be a man,’ Harlan said.
Bovada also paid out any fans who bet that there would not be a streaker at Super Bowl 2021 due to Andrade’s crude act.
Not only does it appear Andrade will not be getting his $374k, the streak may have put him heavily into the red with whatever bond he had to post to get out of detainment after running on the field.
