Super Bowl pitch invader’s $483,000 bet pays off

A pitch invader that interrupted the Super Bowl has revealed the genius, real reason he stripped off for the entire world to see.

Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have been the big victors of Monday’s Super Bowl but an unlikely winner has emerged from the crowd.

Literally from the crowd.

Late in the fourth quarter with the game already decided, a pitch invader ran onto the field with just five minutes left as security ran to take him down.

While the TV cameras looked to cut away, he ran right down the middle of the field.

With just 25,000 fans in attendance, the pitch invader was wearing a mankini and shorts and made security look foolish, with his run only ending when he slid into the end zone before the guards piled on.

But while he’d likely be sporting bruises, his bank balance will be padded nicely after he revealed he bet that there would be a streaker during the game with the odds at $7.

He’s revealed he’s set to win $US374,000 ($A483,000).

Pitch invader Yuri Andrade spent the night in jail and had to pay a $A646 bail and it could be very worth it.

Players look on as Andrade avoided security.

Speaking on Kiis FM’s Kyle and Jackie O, Andrade confirmed that he was looking at the big payout although Jackie O believed it would be subject to investigation.

“Basically I told them that I had a bet that was guaranteed and I said I would give them 100 of the 800 allowed on Bovada.com, so I then called every person I knew and got them to put that bet in.”

He said he hadn’t been paid out yet and would collect on Friday.

Jackie O speculated that the bookies might see it similar to match fixing or insider trading, but Andrade was confident, saying that the fine print says “the pitch invader has to reach the playing field, that’s all it says”.

He added that all his friends who had put the bet on with Bovada had their winnings held under investigation but seven friends had their payouts clear.

Sandilands called it “a betting hack” but Jackie O wasn’t convinced.

“I just think there’s going to be more to this than you just getting your money,” she said.

The players did not seem very happy.

Jackie could be onto something as well with several US betting reporters not believing the yarn and rather that it was an ad for Vitaly Uncensored.

Wouldnt a sportsbook have a limit on a prop like that ?

He would've needed hundreds of friends/accounts, and the book to never shorten the odds and/or not take the prop bet off the board entirely. https://t.co/CTRnPVJ6L5

Andrade has followed in a long line of disruptive pitch invaders, following in the footsteps of Champions League streaker Kinsey Wolanski.

Both streaked for the website Vitaly Uncensored website with the porn site involved in several streaking exploits.

Having run onto the field with a pink mankini brandishing the website’s name, Andrade told NBC 6 that he wanted to “kiss (Chiefs quarterback) Pat Mahomes on the cheek”.

“We’ve tried the Super Bowl four times – well, he’s tried the Super Bowl four times – and I told him that if he bought me tickets, that I could guarantee him that I would streak on the field for him,” Andrade said.

It’s not the first time the Super Bowl pitch has been invaded with Instagram model Kelly Kay tackled during the 2020 Super Bowl, also reportedly for the Vitaly Uncensored site.
