Football mega pools provider, Colossus Bets last night saw a player hit a six-figure payout from just a £1.60 ticket. By picking 6 correct scores the player won a £100,109 jackpot with the prospect of landing another £100,000 if they can correctly predict the score of the Chelsea v Arsenal ‘bonus leg’ match on Sunday.
The player, having correctly predicted the correct scores in three UEFA Champions League fixtures on Wednesday evening, repeated the feat in three UEFA Europa League fixtures last night. An 89th minute equalizing penalty in the Tottenham Hotspur v Besiktas match, scored by former Chelsea man Demba Ba, came to the rescue of the Colossus Bets punter who had banked on a 1-1 draw in that last leg of the bet.
The £2,000,000 Pick 6 is a weekly 6-leg pool bet with a correct score format comprising a minimum £1,000,000 win fund and a minimum £1,000,000 bonus – both numbers net of deductions. Any winners of the win fund will have a free pick on the correct score of one further football match the following week, to try and land the £1,000,000 bonus.
A full unit costs players just £2, but like all Colossus pools, the £2,000,000 Pick 6 can be played for as little as 20p (which buys a 0.1 unit and plays for a proportional £200,000). Like all Colossus Bets pools, the Pick 6 includes a Fractional Cash-In feature which enables players to bank profits on all or part of their ‘live’ tickets as the matches in a pool progress.
The next £2,000,000 Pick 6 kicks off this Sunday with a selection of the weekend’s Premier League fixtures. The bet is also available across all of Colossus Bets’ B2B partner sites, including BETDAQ, Betfair, Boylesports and Sportsbet.io.
The £2,000,000 Pick 6 is available on www.colossusbets.com on both Desktop/Web as well as a customized smartphone and tablet experience on Mobile Web.
