Colossus Weekend Winners Review

This weekend was a successful week for solo punters and Syndicates alike, thus we have a welcome return for our Weekend Winners blog!

InPlay Man’s Asian Handicap consolation triumph

When Sevilla beat Las Palmas 2-1 away from home at midday on Saturday, it looked as if IPM’s Syndicate was up against it. It then went on to win in the next 16 legs, with Real Betis v Real Madrid needing to come in to make it 19/20. It was a goal fest in Spain, and Karim Benzema scored in added time to clear the -1.5 handicap for Real, meaning IPM’s Syndicate scooped a £7,504 dividend on top of an earlier £536.30 Cash out! An immediate shoe in for the weekend winners blog!

Surfbets played it safe in the Pick 6

Captain Surfbets put up a £14.40 ticket into the Pick 6 that was going for £100,000. After three Cash Outs on Saturday for around £750, the modest ticket was still in the running for the win on Sunday. Another Cash Out and half-time in the East Anglian Derby meant they were now left playing for £10,000 but had already assured themselves a healthy profit. The Captain then Cashed Out the last ten percent of the ticket for £1,103 just after the end of the leg 5. It turned out to be a good decision as the Syndicate lost out in leg 6.

Turning a £14.40 bet into £2,039 is not to be scoffed at (in the slightest!), but should the Captain have shown more confidence on Saturday where they made 3 Cash Outs?

A FreePlay winner… Or a bad taste in the mouth? 

We think it may be the latter! A Betfair customer took advantage of a freeplay given to their account, probably thinking “ah, may as well use it, you never know”, and then promptly forgot they’d ever placed it. Unfortunately for him, this ticket went all the way to through to the last leg, with Bristol City 2-0 up at half time, with an offer of around £13,000 at this point. As you can see, no Cash Out at all. Leeds went on to get the much needed goal, but added another to kill this ticket’s chances of a 6/6 £100,000 win off a free bet! Still, at least they scooped a £154 dividend from a 5/6 consolation.

An intelligent Cash Out in the O/U Pick 20?

Malaga 1-2 Valencia took this BetClic customer to 14/20 in the €250,000 O/U Pick 20 pool. This customer perhaps envisaged a Serie A borefest on Sunday afternoon, and cashed out 100% of the ticket for €2,460. He turned out to be right with only 1 goal in the Juventus game.

One score away from £1,000,000… from a FreePlay!

This customer’s full unit stake FreePlay was out of the running at Leg 2, but the next four went on to win, meaning he was two Aston Villa goals away from AOD coming in and receiving a £1,000,000 prize. He still got a tasty consolation, scooping up £1,542 from this ticket with 5/6 selections.

So, what can we take from this weekend’s results? We’d say, most importantly, if you place a freeplay, remember that you placed it and that you can get some huge Cash out offers if you get far!
