At a Coral's shop on their Bet Station terminal.  Makes the ave odds 1.466.

Given the huge over rounds on them it's fair to assume the average price on the exchange was at least 1.55.  That would have returned £2,564,000.  Alternatively his 35bet was actually worth £0.95.  Not that he'll be particularly bothered Laugh

A Coral customer is celebrating a life-changing windfall after he landed an incredible 30-match sports bet last week which turned his £5 stake into almost half a million pounds.

The Rotherham man, who wishes to remain anonymous, placed the 30-leg acca on a self-service betting terminal in a Coral shop in the South Yorkshire town, and scooped £486,000 when all the selections in his accumulator won, at combined odds of over 97,000/1.

“The bet ran over several days and included specific outcomes in five tennis matches and 25 football matches – from Israel v Belarus to Scotland v England, and concluded with Sporting Lisbon v Moreirense on Sunday night. He needed Sporting Lisbon to win with 1 to 5 goals in the game, and Sporting won 3-0,” said Coral’s David Stevens.

“After 28 legs, he was offered a cash-out option of £222,000, which he – wisely as it turned out – said no to, and was ultimately rewarded with all 30 legs winning, at odds of over 97,000/1.

“It’s fair to say shock was his first reaction to realising all 30 legs had won, but unsurprisingly he was soon celebrating what he has said is a life-changing amount.

“In over two decades at Coral, I’ve never seen such an incredible winning bet. To get four or five predictions right is hard enough, to get 30 is extraordinary, and this punter deserves every penny of his £486,000.”

Exactly Penzance! He obviously had no interest in the last 2 legs. Instead he was doing his ironing or watching Antiques Roadshow. Only briefly turning his attention away from said 2 tasks to check the result of the Sporting Lisbon game. And once the result was known, he turned to his wife and said "I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!" before turning his attention back to the Antiques Roadshow. Grin

Had one a couple months back that only had a few legs left but Penrith Panther managed to lose at 1/40.

Which had me thinking about a potential counter strategy to pick up a huge score.

https://tools.eurolandir.com/tools/Pressreleases/GetPressRelease/?ID=4383139&lang=en-GB&companycode=lu-gvc&v=newdesign

It starts
Post the summer, Online Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) has been mixed across the Group, but in aggregate, softer than anticipated.  Q3 Online NGR growth is now expected to be up high single-digit percent, and down high single digit percent on a proforma basis.  Key drivers include:

·    Adverse sporting results impacting sports margins during September

·    Group wide implementation of industry leading safer gambling measures and ongoing regulatory headwinds persisting longer than expected, particularly in the UK

·    Slower growth than expected in Australia and Italy

·    Good underlying Online growth (ex-regulatory impacts) as evidenced by further strong proforma growth in active customers across the quarter

·    Strong performance from recent acquisitions, particularly SuperSport in Croatia

·    Robust performance across Retail

·    BetMGM in the US continuing to perform well: on track to deliver positive EBITDA in the second half of 2023; FY2023 NGR at the upper end of $1.8-$2.0bn guidance; and the successful rollout of Single Account Single Wallet, as well as online sportsbook enhancements supporting strong start to the NFL season



We now expect Group Online NGR for FY2023 to be up low double-digit percent with proforma NGR down low single digit percent.  We reiterate our expectations for FY2023 EBITDA to be in the range of £1.00bn-£1.05bn supported by robust operational controls.

We implemented Affordability Checks voluntarily and way, way sooner than we had to. Additionally we (voluntarily) set them at a far lower level than was necessary (some might say we set them at a Draconian level). Having done that, the gambling review has dragged on and on, with delay after delay after delay, leaving us stuck in the ridiculous position that we chose to put ourselves into, for far longer than anticipated. This has cost us a bleedin' fortune in the short term.

sparrow I think more a case of 'jargon' in the best sense - specific words that mean specific things to people in a particular industry or profession.  They cannot use terms that are not 100% tightly-defined in communications to investors.

NGR - net gaming revenue - basically the money they make out of betting/gaming, including costs of promos like free bets and BOG, but not the underlying costs of running the business.

EBITDA - earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation - basically the profit they make from what they do, including all the day-to-day costs of running the business, but before all the things listed (which can wildly skew reported profit from year to year).
