“A Florida man…” is the start of numerous articles that always seem to end in some sort of hilarity or unexplainable event that you have to just shake your head at. In this case, it was 31-year-old Yuri Andrade of Boca Raton, FL, who was charged with trespassing by Tampa Bay police after he interrupted the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Florida native ran onto the field wearing shorts and a pink swimsuit and proceeded to moon the audience and players before running down the field and eventually getting tackled by police while crossing the goal-line at Raymond James Stadium. The associated press reported early Monday morning that Andrade was released on $500 bail from Hillsborough County jail after spending the night in the clink.
The Streaker Was Working For Someone
WFLA in Florida reported that Andrade was sent to the game by social media personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy to promote his adult film website called Vitaly Uncensored, and was branded on Andrade’s pink thong swimsuit. The Houston Chronicle reported that Zdorovetskiy is the same man that ran onto the field during the 2017 World Series and onto the court in the 2014 NBA Finals.
There is no word yet on if Zdorovetskiy will be charged or not in the incident.
Did The Streaker Win A MASSIVE Amount Of Cash On A Prop?
Rumors started swirling yesterday that alleged Andrade made off like a bandit for running onto the field and betting on himself by making a prop bet. Andrade was spotted at J. Alexander’s restaurant in Tampa late Monday, where he claimed that he bet $50,000 on a prop bet at +750 that there would be a streaker at the Super Bowl, which would have netted him $375,000.

Andrade took to Instagram to post a screenshot of the betting claim while also exclaiming that “Dudes are good at math.”

However, Patrick Everson, a Las Vegas reporter for Covers.com said that a global market sportsbook spokesperson told him that the claim probably wasn’t true. “No book in their right mind would take $50k limits on that, nowhere close.” said the spokesperson. “If there was one, I would be right there next to him in a pink tutu.”

The Claim Is Probably False
The chances that Andrade’s claims are true are pretty slim. Sportsbooks take every precaution to make sure that bettors can’t actually have any effect on their bets, so the likelihood that he won hundreds of thousands on a prop bet is pretty fantastical. However, if he managed to find an error somewhere at one of the illegal offshore books, he basically committed grand larceny. His bail was only $500, so he would have netted a profit of $374,500.
Maybe he is just on another plane of life compared to the rest of us mortals, a betting savant that made possibly one of the most genius and financially beneficial decisions anyone has ever made. Or perhaps he’s a moron who wanted his time in the limelight. Either way, he won.
