A bettor from Nevada won $9,676 during the weekend after hitting a 10-team parlay on Ukrainian table tennis via a William Hill mobile sports betting app, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.

The person placed $50 on 10 favorites in the pingpong tournament while chances to gamble on sports is few and far between because of the coronavirus pandemic.
