Colossus Captain and regular big pool winner<\/a> \u2018im the bkpool tower\u2019 (ITBT) guided his 47-person Syndicate to an enormous win in the \u00a3800,000 1X2 Pick 15 pool over the weekend. The group joined together to fund a \u00a3194 ticket but, opting to play for \u00a30.20 per line, they would be challenging for a reduced jackpot total of \u00a380,000.<\/p>\n

It was FA Cup weekend and the 11,083 units hoping to overcome the pool saw the action get underway at 15:00 on Saturday afternoon, as the opening four games kicked off.<\/p>\n

The Syndicate had covered every selection in three of the legs and just needed Swansea to oblige with a win against Nottingham Forest to progress, which the Welsh side did in style, emerging as 5-1 winners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There were then three Saturday evening games which the Syndicate also sailed through, thanks to a resounding 3-0 win for Atalanta, away to Serie A leaders AC Milan, and victories for Monaco and Aston Villa in the only Premier League clash of the weekend.\"syndicate<\/a><\/p>\n

That signalled the end of a first day of action which, owing to some surprise results, had decimated the number of units still active in the pool. In fact, all but eight of the initial 11,000+ had already been eliminated, meaning that some tempting Cash Out offers would be inevitable should those remaining units stay alive.<\/p>\n

ITBT resisted all offers until half-time in the Sunday’s opening leg, Bordeaux vs. Angers, in which the Syndicate required a home win. Despite a tremendous start with two early goals from Bordeaux, the away side nicked one back before half-time. Wary of a potential comeback, ITBT took 10% of a \u00a32,839 Cash Out offer, which netted the Syndicate \u00a3283. It was enough to cover the initial stake, meaning that the worst case scenario would be a very small profit.<\/p>\n

Bordeaux hung on for the win, however, and attention then shifted to a pivotal quadruple of games at 14:00, with three Ligue Un encounters and one from Serie A. The Syndicate had covered multiple selections in the later legs of the pool, meaning that this daunting foursome of matches looked the greatest hurdle between them and larger offers.<\/p>\n

They required home wins in Genoa vs. Cagliari and Reims vs. Brest, while a draw or away win in Dijon vs. Strasbourg would be sufficient. Total selection coverage in Metz vs. Nantes meant that they wouldn\u2019t need to worry about that one.<\/p>\n

An extremely positive first half saw Genoa and Reims carry single goal leads into the break, while Dijon vs. Strasbourg remained goalless. Reflecting the Syndicate\u2019s extremely positive progress, ITBT received a \u00a37,518 Cash Out offer and opted to sell a further 20% of the ticket, locking in an additional \u00a31,670.<\/p>\n

Each of the contributors would surely have been thrilled when the results stayed the same at full time. With just three legs remaining in the pool, the next offer reflected the tremendous position which they now found themselves in. In fact, they had five of the six possible selections in the next two legs covered and were rewarded with a huge offer of \u00a317,442 for the remaining 70% of the ticket.<\/p>\n

Banking a further 10%, or \u00a32,491, took their running total to \u00a34,444 and a draw in the next leg, the Northwest Derby, was the only result which could scupper their chances of progression to the final game of the pool. If they could just avoid that draw, how much better would things get?<\/p>\n
