The 2001 World Series Upset (Diamondbacks vs Yankees)

Cause

The 2001 Major League Baseball World Series was one of the most emotionally charged in history, taking place just weeks after the 9/11 attacks in New York. The New York Yankees, aiming for their fourth consecutive championship, faced the Arizona Diamondbacks.

In Game 7 on November 4, 2001, the Yankees took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the 9th inning. They brought in Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer in the history of the sport, who had never blown a save in the World Series and possessed an unhittable "cutter." The odds of the Diamondbacks coming back against Rivera were statistically near zero, and the live betting odds heavily reflected that.

Process

For a time traveler, sports betting is the fastest way to multiply capital, and Game 7 of the 2001 World Series offers a unique live-betting window.

You go to Las Vegas or log into early offshore sportsbooks. As the bottom of the 9th inning begins and Rivera takes the mound, you place massive live bets on the Arizona Diamondbacks to win the game. Because the Yankees are leading and have their invincible closer on the mound, bookmakers will offer astronomical odds against a Diamondbacks comeback.

Result

In one of the most shocking moments in baseball history, the Diamondbacks rally. Tony Womack hits a game-tying double, and then, with the bases loaded, Luis Gonzalez hits a bloop single over a drawn-in infield. The Diamondbacks score two runs in the bottom of the 9th, defeating the Yankees 3-2 to win the World Series. You collect a massive payout against impossible odds.
