anyone seen this insane bet??

Wed Feb 20, 2013 7:10 pm

forget the odds on the left hand side of the screen as this was a promo by Coral and the odds are just to be there to be put through the system if the bet comes in...

This guy put 1p on the bet. If Barca win 2-0 and Schalke draw 1-1 he will pocket £1m! :ayatollah:

He must be bricking it!!!

Click on the bet slip picture to be able to see it clearly.

Good luck, whoever he is! He deserves the £££ just for the pure craziness! :malky:

That bet is correct,and the bet was FREE = It's the latest promo we have for customers who bet on the football.

The bet was to pick the scores in the 8 Champions League games,and if all correct you win £1M ;)

Magners :ayatollah: - hard to cover that bet with it being correct scores,as he needs to results not just 1 mate.

Having said that if theres 10 mins to go then laying those scores is the way forward - if they are as he has selected.

I would have desperately tried to find some rich guy to buy it, doubt he would get more than like 10k though.

corals have just said they are flying the guy and a mate out to Barca for the return leg as he got so close.

Fair play that's a cracking gesture of good will as they didn't have to do a thing. :malky: :thumbright:

Nice touch though
