Dave Portnoy has declared himself the “hottest gamblers on the planet” after another big win thanks to Scottie Scheffler’s triumph at The Masters.
The Barstool Sports founder is on a $5.4 million winning streak full of massive bets on some of 2024’s biggest sporting events.
“Guys I don’t think people realize what we are witnessing,” Portnoy wrote on X. “To come into #themasters as the world’s #1 and the hottest gambler on the planet. To have a bullseye on your forehead and still win with ease? We may never see a 4 month stretch like this again. #eprestheallknowing”
Portnoy won $1.35 million after placing a $300,000 bet on Scheffler to win the Green Jacket at +450 odds.
His big win at The Masters came less than a week after winning $2.1 million off of UConn’s national championship title, bringing his total winnings for the week to $3.45 million.
Portnoy’s unbelievable week comes just a couple of months after a lucrative college football playoff and Super Bowl.
On New Year’s Day, Portnoy won $1 million when the Michigan Wolverines beat the Alabama Crimson Tide to make the national championship game. Later that night, he won another half-million dollars when the Washington Huskies upset the Texas Longhorns to set up a date with Michigan.

“Listen I’ve had a pretty good run for the past 2 decades,” Portnoy wrote in a blog post at Barstool Sports in January. “I’ve made hundreds of millions of dollars. Boston sports teams have won like 9,000 titles. Everything has seemingly bounced my way. But my god 2024 is setting up for maybe my best year yet. We’re not even 48 hours into the new year and Michigan has already won the Rose Bowl.”
A month later, Portnoy won another half-million bucks when the Chiefs beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
“It’s really simple. Always bet on Mahomes,” Portnoy said in post on X.
