Soccer 10
Leeds United’s last-gasp winner against Liverpool in the English Premier League last Saturday evening changed the life of an unemployed Windhoek TAB soccer customer in a flash, transforming his R4 soccer bet into a R3.7-million payday!
The punter bet a R4 Soccer 13 at a TAB agency in the Windhoek township of Katutura last Saturday afternoon. To win Soccer 13 outright, players must correctly forecast the results of all 13 matches in the pool, choosing a win by either team or a draw.
The punter had two of the three result options in the Fulham-Everton clash, but only one in all the others including a win by Leeds in the last game in the pool to be played.
Amazingly, he’s a Liverpool fan but decided that they would lose against Leeds and he was proved spot on when the home side conceded an 89th-minute goal, giving Leeds an unexpected 2-1 victory.
That resulted in only three all-13 correct entries, each winning a payout of R3,774,142!
