Danny Rouhier had a big announcement at the end of Wednesday's Grant & Danny: he did a voiceover of a young Charles Barkley in a FanDuel ad hitting your TV screens soon...and we got to hear it, and it ain't turrible Kinny! And here is a first look at Danny in action a bit two years in the making!

“Young Chuck” will encourage FanDuel customers to “think like a player” when placing their bets. The spots will air during the play-in tournament and throughout the conference finals, with the final ad going live during finals, and accompany a special sign-up offer to encourage betting during the playoffs.

Parlays allow bettors to combine multiple events (or bets from the same game) into one wager for a larger potential payout. While the risks also increase with additional bets, many players find that risk worthwhile.

Same-Game Parlay Plus (SGP+) The same-game parlay “plus” bet is one of FanDuel's newer features. With this, you can create two separate same-game parlay bets and combine them into one mega-parlay. This is lottery-style sports betting, where a small amount wagered can result in life-changing money for some bettors.

The FanDuel commercial released in April 2023 stars an NBA legend, Charles Barkley. Next to him is sitting an athlete named “Young Chuck”: he's the younger version of himself, recreated with the deepfake technology.

NEW YORK, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FanDuel Group, the premier sports gaming destination in the United States, announced today a new television commercial, featuring golfers Abraham Ancer, Will Zalatoris, Harold Varner III, and current FanDuel PGA TOUR partner, Jordan Spieth.

Charles makes quite a bit of money he makes $10 million from his job as an analyst and endorsements and he has quite a few investments and owns a few restaurants and a good car collection as well, he is worth around $70 million according to a 2023 report.

TV pundit Charles Barkley has signed a 317 million dollar contract with TNT for the next 10 years. In his 16-year NBA career Barkley earned 40.6m dollars from the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets. The NBA legend is currently making 10m dollars per season, with his contract ending in three years.

As a result, the popularity of same-game parlays isn't likely to diminish anytime soon. However, same-game parlays are challenging to win consistently. Multi-leg wagers may offer a chance at big payouts, but your odds of winning decrease as your potential profits rise.

Hedging Parlay Betting Strategy This strategy is one that many consider to be the best parlay strategy. If the favorite wins, the underdog pick helps to balance out the loss of the other game. The other part of hedging is making selections based on when the game is being played.

A same game parlay (SGP) is a single bet that combines multiple outcomes from the same game and is dependent on all of those outcomes winning. Games that support SGP will have a +SGP logo next to every game card.

With Same Game Parlay betting, you can get more access to team and player props, plus have more flexibility when altering lines such as a point spread or an Over/Under. A feature called Same Game Parlay Extra (SGPx) allows you to combine multiple single bets and SGPs into one SGPx.
