The Streaker

I've always thought it should be against the rules to penalize the home team for a fan's action.
There was a college basketball team back in the day that would be assessed a technical foul after its fans would throw things (streamers?) after the first points scored by the home team.
I can't remember all the details.
But I've always held this idea in the back of my head: Attend a Big West basketball game, bet the road underdog, dress in the home team colors with a prominent logo displayed on a hooded sweatshirt and baseball hat, then run on the court from behind the home team bench to stop a potential fast-break opportunity by the favored squad.
If they don't whistle the home team for a technical foul, I would at least stop potential points from being scored.
The later in the game, the better.
Of course, I would only run on the court if the pointspread outcome was in the balance.
Better yet, why not hire someone to do the dirty work?
I think $1,000 and legal fees would be the right offer to start negotiations.
The bet would have to be a minimum five figures.

In the NFL, the refs would sometimes threaten the home crowd for being too loud.
I think the penalty was delay of game.
Of course, after the referee issued a warning to the crowd for excessive noise, the fans in the stands would only get louder.

The streaker has been identified as Yuri Andrade, a 31-year-old Boca Raton resident.
He was wearing a bright pink onesie and black shorts.
His goal reportedly was to promote a porn website.

Googling shows several articles saying he won @ $350,000 on a ‘streaking’ prop bet.
I find that hard to believe.
First, it’s unlikely a book would expose themselves to a $350k liability for actions by the public. Especially when the action is relatively easy to execute.
Second, bet was supposedly for a streaker. Streaking is running naked, exposing yourself. He had a unitard on, not exposing himself.
He wasn’t streaking,
A book would have to be clear about the definition of streaking. No way that bet gets paid off.
JK’s explanation makes much more sense: publicity for a porno site. He apparently had the website emblazoned on his unitard.

Good ole Matress Mac reportedly had the biggest single win bet. 3.4 mil on Tampa Bay. https://abc13.com/super-bowl-bets-mattress-mack-sports-on-brady-buccaneers/10309436/
