Football pronostics earn man 179,000 euros
A football fan who sometimes gambles on matches has become almost 180,000 euros richer in Leopoldsburg, Belgium.
The Belgian gambler bet barely 5 euros on as many as thirty football matches, but turned out to have predicted the result correctly each time. That earned him a total of no less than 179,226.05 euros.
After Glasgow Rangers' 1-0 victory against Hibernian, the football bettor could pop the champagne corks. In his own words, his success was the result of football knowledge, but also a good portion of luck, the winner stressed in a comment to Het Nieuwsblad. After all, that Bayern Munich would win against Werder Bremen could also have been predicted by the average football connoisseur. But for the result of the match between Portland Galaxy and LA Galaxy or the Swedish cracker BK Hacken-Djurgardens, that was less the case.
The winner declares that he will invest the money in his home. He does not want to do anything crazy and will just keep playing for 5 euros every weekend.
