The man who charged across the field during the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s Super Bowl says he pulled the stunt to gain hundreds of thousands via an online bet.

Yuri Andrade, 31, was charged with trespassing after streaking across the Raymond James Stadium field in a pink leotard and black shorts as the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Buccaneers battled it out in the last quarter.

The resident of Boca Raton, Florida, reportedly got the idea to streak from a bet stewing on gambling website Bovada, which offered +750 odds, $100 bets pay $750, so he decided to conjure up bets from friends and associates to boost his chances.

He said playing a part in the gambling and the stunt, which involved him wearing a pink leotard with the words “Vitaly Uncensored” written on the front during the game, got him $375,000.

Bovada has responded to Andrade’s claims and says it is investigating “betting irregularities,” which could nullify the wagers made in favor of the stunt.

“We’ll be reaching out to all those players impacted by this event shortly.”
