It’s bettor in the Big Apple.

New Yorkers placed their first legal online, in-state sports wagers Saturday morning, the first day mobile sports-betting was allowed in the Empire State.

One gambler was feeling lucky, plunking down $15 on a longshot, six-team, football parlay — which will pay him $1,430.45 if he wins, DraftKings revealed in a tweet.

The bet was placed at 9:01 a.m., a minute after four casino operators — Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings, FanDuel and Rush Street Interactive — opened for action.

Another risky parlay was the first bet on the Caesars app, with a user betting $20 to win $233.16 on five European soccer games, the company said in a tweet.

On Rush Street, a pretty confident gambler placed $500 on Saturday’s Chiefs-Broncos game, a company rep said.

There was at least one winner Saturday: former New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who signed on as an ambassador with Caesars Sportsbook.
