Euro Amazing Bet: The man who predicted all eight Champions League results

The Pacman's Midweek Multiple / Editor / 15 December 2009 / Leave a Comment

Life-changing moment. Apoel Nicosia's Serbian player Nenad Mir scores a late, late equaliser against Chelsea that proved a wonderful early Christmas present for a certain Betfair punter.

"However, not only the late goals by the teams from Cyprus and Russia accounted for the successful multiples bet. Also the rather unexpected results of the German teams involved proved helpful."

Swiss Man wins €112,634 on Champions League with only 3 Euro stake using online betting exchange Betfair courtesy of injury-time drama.

Last week a Swiss man achieved the unbelievable. With a stake of just 3 Euros he tipped the outcome of all eight games in Tuesday with online operator Betfair - and was proved right when all eight picks came good. The chances to hit the combination stood at a whopping 37,420-1. At these incredible odds his multiple bet with Betfair won him an amount of €112.634.

The gentleman in question was probably not paying much attention to his bet until an amazing sequence of event in the last five minutes turned the tide of fortune in his favour. Up until the 87th minute of play he was wrong in two of the games. Only Tomica Mirosavljević's goal for the final score of 2-2 between Chelsea and APOEL Nicosia and the winning goal in the fifth minute of added time by midfielder Evgeni Aldonin in the match between Beşiktaş Istanbul and CSKA Moscow secured the win for the lucky Swiss.

However, not only the late goals by the teams from Cyprus and Russia accounted for the successful multiples bet. Also the rather unexpected results of the German teams involved proved helpful. Bayern Munich won 4-1 at Juventus Turin despite being given only a 28% winning chance by the Betfair users before the kick off. Juventus had been installed as slight favourites with a 43% probability of winning. Wolfsburg lost to Manchester United 1-3, despite being punted as favourites by the Betfair users at odds of 2.20.

The gentleman in question will be glad that he chose to strike his 8-way multiple bet with Betfair, rather than one of its competitors. Had he placed his bet with Ladbrokes he would have got odds of 23,983/1. Betfair's price was a whopping 56% bigger.

As yet the man from Switzerland has not deceided on what he will be buying with his winnings. However, with luck like this I am sure he will make the right choices.
