ONE lucky punter has pocketed a colossal £1,568 from a losing bet thanks to Betfair's 90 Minute Payout promotion!
This bettor needed Norwich to beat Southampton to complete a 313/1 six-fold on Saturday afternoon, but disaster struck in the 97th-minute when Adam Armstrong equalised from the penalty spot to make it 4-4 at full time.
Under normal circumstances, this would have been a last-gasp disaster for this punter and hundreds like them.
But thanks to Betfair's 90 Minute Payout promotion, Norwich were classified as winners because they were leading at the 90-minute mark!
This punter and 867 other bettors who backed Norwich all benefitted from 90 Minute Payout, costing the bookies a sizeable chunk!
Betfair's brilliant new offer means winning match odds bets will be paid out on 90 minutes no matter what happens in added time – that includes single bets, multiples and Bet Builders.
The remaining five legs of the acca were equally nerve-racking, with all winning by a one-goal margin.
