DraftKings Sportsbook – at least for a brief while Sunday night into Monday, and at least in New York'- ran a “Never Forget” parlay tied to the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.
“Bet these New York teams to win tonight on 9/11,” the DraftKings promo read, offering a three-team moneyline parlay for the Mets to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Yankees to defeat the Boston Red Sox, and the New York Jets to defeat the Buffalo Bills.
The odds were set at +651 for the parlay on games taking place on the 22nd anniversary of the events of 9/11, when a team of terrorists hijacked four planes, with two of them hitting and destroying the World Trade Center Twin Towers.
In total that day, 2,977 innocent people lost their lives, with more than 2,600 of them dying at the New York site.
