Colossus Bets guy done the Coral £1million bet. Needs Watford or the draw for £1million win. He tried to contact Coral today to ask if they wanted to buy the bet back but they didn't respond.

Now he's in line for a £1million payout.

wonder where Coral go to lay off some of their liability in a situation like this.  Or maybe they just stand the whole lot.

Let's be honest this is no ordinary average joe punter beating the bookies, it's a high rolling syndicate who staked 34k.

Its weird but if you cover every outcome in all 15 matches to a £1 steak the total cost is £15,000,000. Coral have **** up here, wonder if they'll try and wriggle out of it

Yes I don't really get this - why do Coral allow people to "buy out" of half the matches?

Watford have perfectly good second disallowed then Brighton immediately equalise. Then Brighton are very lucky not to have a man sent off when the full back who's already been booked carved someone down on the edge of the box. He needs Watford or the draw, and Watford clearly the better team....I think we all know what's going to happen here don't we? Laugh

He's told the RP he'll probably hedge a bit by backing Brighton so he's probably just said otherwise on twitter for the publicity. Like he needs the cash anyway.

£32k a small price to pay for the publicity they have picked up tonight

So basically he has outplayed 35k on a 28/1 shot roughly.
I wonder what they would say in a shop if u tried to put that on a horse?

On some of his selections he's backed all 3 outcomes in the game. What's the point of that?

I thought that Ranogajec fella was behind Colussus Bets.  If so £1m is small change to him.

Coral take 30% of every bet. It's a mugs bet. Nothing more, nothing less. They are pushing it like mad in their shops.

Well my thinking was if you're backing all 3 outcomes in the same game you might as well not include it but i was forgetting you have to pick 15 games. Obviously they've found a way to beat the system and cover everything but it makes me wonder how much they've lost in previous weeks though.

It's a pool bet, not fixed odds.

If it costs £35,000 and you can win £1,000,000 you might as well cover as many outcomes as you can.

Well I just tried to work out the odds and came up with 10/1 for this line, including Brighton not winning. So if they are the only winner then a good bet?
