Unfortunately they were reduced to ten men in the second half but held on for the win.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image36.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-29209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image36-300x128.png\" alt=\"rollover\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image36-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image36-768x327.png 768w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image36.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A 1-1 draw between FC Gorodeya and FC Minsk made it 2\/2 after an opening day in which just over 20,000 of the initial units had already crashed out.<\/p>\n<p>The action continued on Saturday and it was very much a case of Groundhog Day as the player correctly selected a draw (Slavia Mozyr vs. Zhodino) and an away win (Neman vs. Rukh Brest) which successfully won despite the away side receiving a red card.<\/p>\n<p>With half of the legs completed, just 230 units of the initial 29.398 were still standing but the player was still sitting pretty, albeit only playing for 50% of the jackpot as they had only played \u00a31 per line.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining four matches took place consecutively on Sunday. First up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/pick-6-player-turns-wins-big\/\">player predicted a home win<\/a> for FK Isloch Minsk over FC Belshina Bobruisk, which came to fruition in a 2-1 win.<\/p>\n<p>Next was FC Vitebsk vs. FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk and the player needed a draw. The match petered out into a 0-0 stalemate, meaning six legs were in the bag. With just 37.4 units still standing, things were getting serious. However, they resisted any Cash Out offer and persevered.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/breakdown.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-29211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/breakdown-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"rollover\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/breakdown-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/breakdown.jpg 718w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If proved a shrewd choice as, in the penultimate leg, the player had predicted that Belarusian \u2018giants\u2019 BATE Borisov would win away to FC Smolevichi-STI.<\/p>\n<p>BATE raced into a 3-1 lead at half-time but Smolevichi pulled two back after the break to make things level. With time running out, would an upset scupper the ticket? Not a chance. Two goals in the final ten minutes saw BATE emerge as 5-3 winners from a thrilling contest to take the spoils and progress the ticket to a final leg.<\/p>\n<p>That final leg would see Dinamo Brest host Dinamo Minsk and, after once again refusing to Cash Out, nothing but a home win would suffice for the player.<\/p>\n<p>A fifth minute own goal saw Brest take the lead but they were pegged back in the 24<sup>th<\/sup> minute to make it 1-1. Shortly after half-time they took the lead once again and the player was in pole position to land a huge win. Sure enough there were no more goals and they had done it!<\/p>\n<p>From 29,398 units, only 7.66 were still standing and the player\u2019s \u00a31 ticket reaped a magnificent payout of \u00a32,667.38.
