March Madness bettor turns down $70,000 cash-out option on 18-leg parlay... only for Baylor to suffer shock defeat and end hopes of HUGE $203,000 win

One unlucky bettor saw $202,723.41 snatched away at the hands of Clemson on Sunday. 

An 18-leg, $50 college basketball parlay at DraftKings was already on the brink of banking thousands for one fan when he decided to roll the dice once more. 

After winning 16 legs, the bettor was given a cash-out option worth $59,110,38 but seeking more buck for their bang, they looked to sell it, according to Darren Rovell. 

The wager, which had a true value of $70,882, found a suitor who was willing to splash out the $70,000 that had been requested to take it on. 

However, the original owner decided to let it ride on Baylor moneyline and UConn against the spread.

UConn came through on their end of the bargain but Baylor suffered a shock defeat 

However, that decision backfired when the Baylor Bears became the only favorite of the weekend to lose. 

The Clemson Tigers, +160 underdogs, pulled off a 72-64 upset over the third-seeded Baylor. 

The wager had a roughly 35 percent chance of winning prior to the start of Baylor-Clemson and UConn-Northwestern.

UConn, whose game against Northwestern tipped off roughly 90 minutes after Baylor at 7.45pm ET, fulfilled its part of the bet, easily covering in a 75-58 win. 

RayJ Dennis led Baylor with 27 points, including 21 in the second half. Ja'Kobe Walter added 20 points, but the Bears (24-11) lost in the second round of the NCAA tourney for the third straight year. 

Walter's three-point play trimmed Clemson's lead to 64-62 with 2:19 to go, giving the bettor one last glimmer of hope. 

And Baylor had a chance to tie the game with 36.2 seconds left, but Walter missed two foul shots. RJ Godfrey then made four free throws and Girard hit two to help Clemson close it out.
