Gambler turns 60 pence bet into £157,865.59

[Oceat]

I would say that is pure luck but we don't know how many tries he did before getting all of that in one go. I would say it's his time to have it and taste the victory of pure luck he really deserve it but that's just insane if you imagine though. It looks like you are betting on a lottery and after with so many tries that takes you almost forever you finally win the jackpot. That's what it feels when winning like a jackpot in a lottery but what would he do after winning all of that? Probably gonna bet and keep playing again but who cares if it makes them happy they should as long as they don't abuse it that would make them suffer at the end.

How can you explain such fortunate winning happening for real? It looks unlikely and unrealistic even for a Hollywood movie script!

Its really impressive. This person might often bet and so because of his knowledge and experience, he managed to predict the results. Its not easy to predict 1 or 2, but he did it with 16? Thats really unbelievable.

Its not impossible to happen in reality, but its rare to witness for a  very lucky person.

[Ararbermas]

Being lucky, it is always possible . But i hope he didn't spent too much money in it before he achieved this record because mostly gambler that i know they become successful but the amount what they spent before winning is higher than what amount of rewards they received afterwards, wherein, after how many attempts. and that is because of addiction.

Imagine how hard this game, it's literally a game of luck .

[Jawhead999]

That guy must be can predict how much Bitcoin will worth on 2023

Predicting 16 match correctly without missed any single match is really insane, moreover he can predict which match will be draw. AFAIK bet on football isn't easy since draw is higher chance to happen, unlike boxing where draw is really hard or unlikely will happen. After getting huge payout, obviously he will keep betting with his money and he can just bet on favored clubs with huge money to earn easy money.

How can you explain such fortunate winning happening for real? It looks unlikely and unrealistic even for a Hollywood movie script!

This is explained by the fact that, quite simply, improbable events end up occurring, and extremely improbable ones as well. With so many people playing the lottery every week, it is normal that someone will end up winning.

A gambler turned a 60p bet into £157,865.59 this weekend when two Premier League teams came from behind. The punter correctly predicted all 16 results on Saturday in the Premier League and Championship at odds of over 263,109/1, and while the majority came in with relative ease, late comebacks were needed in two 3pm top-flight games.

Actually, I guess luck purely can't explain this event, there must be something else! Or are these fake news?

It can. You would see it differently if you had played millions of hands of (online) poker.

".. the odds of hitting a royal flush would be 4/2,598,960, which would work out to 1/649,740."

In other words, they are smaller than the jackpot in the news, and I, in the time I have been playing, have already seen it several times. The last time was one or two weeks ago and it didn't help me at all because the opponents had not anything and folded, I only got the blinds.

[iv4n]

The big question is how many attempts he made at such a task, if he tried to do similar every week for last twenty years then well done but not as unlikely as first attempt from someone who entered results randomly.   I always appreciate the underdog bets but the low stake size suggests to me he is in this game often and is happy to give away the small amounts in hope of that bigger pay off, some luck and yep bit of brains to know where best to predict scoring.

74 cents worth for anyone wondering

Well, this is a hice hit with 74c bet! Surely this is not a hit from the first time! Something like this is tried from week to week, and so on for years! It's probably some passionate gambler who bets every week and he finally managed to hit the jackpot with one of his crazy parlays! And this is incredible parlay definitely, going for this odds is crazy, someone really needs to be a sports freak to pick all this game and predict the outcome! As OP quotted, to pick one draw game from all this games is something!

Congratulations to the winner, when I see such a nice hit, I get a desire to try something similar!

[maydna]

I think he can really pick the sports bet right because he can win a huge amount of money. But don't forget, the luck factor is also with him so that can help him to get big wins. Maybe he knows a lot of things so he can pick the right team that will win. That's really amazing because not everyone can have the right choice. Maybe he is a time traveler from the future lol. But we also don't know whether the news is true or fake.

04 May 2022 - Gambler turns 60p bet into £157,865.59 predicting every result correctly

A gambler turned a 60p bet into £157,865.59 this weekend when two Premier League teams came from behind. The punter correctly predicted all 16 results on Saturday in the Premier League and Championship at odds of over 263,109/1, and while the majority came in with relative ease, late comebacks were needed in two 3pm top-flight games.

"What makes the acca even more impressive is that there was just one draw across all sixteen games, and our customer managed to pick it out; truly remarkable stuff and we're delighted for them."

Imagine the sequence of events needed in order to deliver the results that would perfectly fit the predictions of this impressive lucky gambler.

Actually, I guess luck purely can't explain this event, there must be something else! Or are these fake news?

I love seeing results like these but as others have said, for every 250,000 such bets that are placed - only 1 will have an outcome like this. The sportsbooks are making big money from statistical analysis which works very well in the long term, although they will have occasional losses like this. It's still a fantastic result and incredible to make a prediction on 16 different events in such a short span, anyone who has played these freebie games such as "select 6 teams who will score 3 or more goals" will know how incredibly difficult hitting just a small number of results can be. Let's be honest though, it'd make for a rather bland hollywood film - some guy fills out a betting slip, wins, end of movie.

[KTChampions]

some people are calling this hit lucky, but it's not possible for him to be lucky, the guy must be someone who analyzes the games very well, he didn't choose games at random and won, I don't believe he would have done that and if he had done it random selection of games without doing any analysis of the game he would not have hit the games and won the bet, at least I say that because I like to make multi bets and from what I see in multi bets there is no such thing as luck, the person needs to analyze the games and choose the games that have the highest chance of hitting to be in the multi bet. congrats to this guy who hit all these games

You must be joking? Do you really believe in the analysis that allowed him to win 1 in 263,000 odds? It is absolutely impossible and unbelievable (such an analysis), it is pure luck. If it was an analysis, then he could bet with more modest odds of 2-5 and quickly ruin all the bookmakers.

[safari88]

Things like this can always happen. In fact, it's just some kind of math and probability. When there are so many people who bet 60 cents, there is always 1 person who does win the jackpot with his bet. But in total, relatively more money comes in at the bookmakers. Of course you just don't hear those stories come out.

It is truly impressive but only if it's real. Sports betting mostly relies in knowledge and experience. It can be that the guy is a long term bettor on this scene and he already mastered the way sports betting works. That increases his chance to win. Predicting 1 to 2 matches is still easy to predict IMO and even 3 to 5 matches are still highly possible but higher than that is already a pain in the ass.

You need lady luck to stay beside you to be able to pull off a successful win. This guy did predict all 16 bets correctly which was insane. I think a moment like this only happens once in a lifetime and he might not be able to do that again so must spend his winnings wisely.

[ajochems]

Gambling is not a easy game to win.You have to play correctly to win huge from it.Their is one secret of gambling,if you keep on playing the game like a mad,all your money will be taken to the gambling website.So that you will again inverse on the platform.Then again get your bets.The only way to win the game was very simple,you need to do of game with huge cap to win huge.

[roslinpl]

It was very big amount,he had win.Because gambling made many to loss.But it will happen only who play without tactics.Gambling was based on the probability to win.Predictions should be made on a good way.If their any small mistake was made with the gambling,surely their was no doubt of loss.Every things need to be analysis and the casino involved trust.

[serjent05]

Gambling is a game of probability and the instance stated by OP does not rely on luck alone.  I think he is a huge fan of the game, and had years of experience analyzing the game output. Making his game prediction more reliable.

I don't believe he would have done that and if he had done it random selection of games without doing any analysis of the game he would not have hit the games and won the bet, at least I say that because I like to make multi bets and from what I see in multi bets there is no such thing as luck, the person needs to analyze the games and choose the games that have the highest chance of hitting to be in the multi bet. congrats to this guy who hit all these games

Luck is still one of the elements of gambling.  It is that in this kind of gambling game if luck is paired with good analysis, the chance of winning is exponentially increased.

That guy must be can predict how much Bitcoin will worth on 2023

After getting huge payout, obviously he will keep betting with his money and he can just bet on favored clubs with huge money to earn easy money.

not only bitcoin price... for sure that guy can predict who will be the UCL's champion this season .  even i, who spend hours analyzing the chances of a team's victory, often miss predictions.  my brain is so speculating, does that guy have a supercomputer from the future ^{(a bit of my crazy wild imagination)}

[acroman08]

an impressive win for the gambler. some members mentioned that with the number of people gambling daily/weekly it is inevitable for this to happen. that being said wins like this are impressive as hell, especially turning a mere 60 pence into 157k+. I just hope he won't waste the money he won irresponsibly. I've seen, read, and heard people wasting their money after getting a big win.

[judeafante]

Being lucky, it is always possible . But i hope he didn't spent too much money in it before he achieved this record because mostly gambler that i know they become successful but the amount what they spent before winning is higher than what amount of rewards they received afterwards, wherein, after how many attempts. and that is because of addiction.

Imagine how hard this game, it's literally a game of luck .

What I'm sure of a gambler before he developed insight and an analytical mind on the games will have to spend a lot of money but once he established and become consistent in his analysis there will always be a chance of winning or not losing a lot, of course, he spends a lot of money but there's a possibility that he can do it again if he analyzes it correctly again and luck on his side, luck goes to the gambler who knows his game.

It is not as difficult to explain as it may seem, for  example millions of predictions are made about the movements of bitcoin during the next months and years, and with such a huge number of predictions then someone is going to be able to accurately predict what the bitcoin market will do, does this means that they are great traders? Not really, most likely they were just lucky and nothing more, which is what we are seeing here as well.

[Fundamentals Of]

Wow. Where did those bets come from? Those are too accurate. The bettor had all the luck in the world for correctly predicting every single one of all the 16 matches. That was hilarious. The gambler was really meant to win every bet of his with all the come from behind wins and the draws. His bets were like dictated on him by somebody who knows every single outcome of the matches. This happens once in a blue moon. It seems he is really fated to make more than a hundred thousand pounds out of his 60 pence.

[swogerino]

I have years waiting for lady luck to knock on my door and so far I haven't had a visit from her.I believe this gambler to have more than one lady luck by his side as no human being can predict correctly that big number of matches no matter how good he maybe at sport betting.I am still hopeful that lady luck will have to visit me someday so I continue playing.

This guys winning are a life changing events for the majority of the people in the world,especially in countries outside Europe and US.
