Soccer punter wins R4.2 million from multiple

A Hollywoodbets customer has landed a R4.2 million winning bet after pulling off a 14-leg soccer multiple bet.

The unnamed 42-year-old punter, who is from Kloof in KwaZulu-Natal, enjoyed the best of weekends after a speculative 14-leg bet landed at huge odds.

The punter placed the bet at Hollywoodbets, staking R100 and successfully navigated his way through a 14-leg multiple. 

Fortune was certainly on their side as Turkish Super Lig side Sivasspor came out victorious thanks to a 93rd minute own goal to win against Gençlerbirliği S.K.

The exact winning amount was R4,215,411.

Hollywoodbets said: "The business owner claimed that the timing of his big win was perfect. 

"He mentioned that his business had struggled through COVID-19 and that he intends to use his winnings to reinvigorate the company and get it back to where he would like it to be.

"Being the busy man that he is, our newly made millionaire made his smart selections from the convenience of the Hollywoodbets mobisite, as he says it is convenient to bet on the go while he overlooks his business."

It was not the first time that this customers had won big, having previously walked away with R129,000 in soccer winnings from other multiples.
