A Betway Kenya Captain suffered a dramatic near-miss on a rollercoaster of a ticket on Sunday afternoon, after bravely turning down two 52k and 96k Cash Out offers in the Correct Score \u2013 Pick 6 pool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Captain, LoneRanger, had 57 unique contributors entered into their Syndicate<\/a>, costing KES47,500,000, which equates to \u00a3384, and they were playing for a \u00a3250,000 prize.<\/p>\n

After a superb Saturday, the Syndicate cruised through the opening four legs and, following Liverpool’s 2-0 win, they were through to the fifth leg and was given a \u00a352,251 offer to contemplate overnight. LoneRanger had a big decision to make.<\/p>\n

The fifth leg, Elfsborg<\/a> vs. Hacken, was scheduled to start at 14:00 on Sunday and, as it approached, there was no sign of them taking a Cash Out offer. Sure enough, the match began and LoneRanger had opted to let it all ride.<\/p>\n

It was a brave decision but with three selections made in the leg, 0,1, 0-2 and 1-2 all in favour of BK Hacken, LoneRanger clearly felt that better things were to come. It was an assumption that proved to be correct.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first half provided no goals but, in the 38th<\/sup> minute, the Syndicate received a massive boost when Gustav Henriksson was dismissed for the home side. With 52 minutes to break down ten men, surely Hacken would now be able to find a way through?<\/p>\n

The half-time offer certainly reflected the favourable red card and, despite the lack of goals, the offer had nearly doubled; a \u00a397,838 cash out offer<\/a> was now on the table.<\/p>\n

Clearly adopting the mantra \u2018who dares wins\u2019, LoneRanger once again chose to let the ticket ride, assuming that Hacken would capitalise on their numerical advantage.<\/p>\n

The Swedes huffed and puffed but they couldn\u2019t blow the door down. Despite dominating the match with 65% possession, 25 shots and 12 corners, Hacken couldn\u2019t find a way through and the match, heartbreakingly, finished goalless.<\/p>\n

The ticket wasn\u2019t quite over and, having made eight selections in the final leg, Consolation Prizes were still on the table.\u00a0 A 1-0 victory for Lahti at IFK Mariehamn ultimately ensured that the Syndicate had five out of six correct scores, a mightily impressive effort, and they were rewarded accordingly with a return of \u00a32,932 as a result, 7.5x their initial stake.<\/p>\n

It must have been bittersweet result as, while the sixth leg ensured some chunky Consolation money, it must also have made the result in leg five considerably more painful.<\/p>\n

It may not have been the win that they wanted but LoneRanger showed real bravery to allow the ticket to go that far and has to be applauded for that!<\/p>\n
