A SportPesa punter just pulled off one of the most legendary wins we’ve seen this season — turning a single R1 bet into a massive R5,852.14 payout, boosted by an extra R3,510.68 Multi-Bet Bonus (MBB). This wasn’t just luck — it was a calculated move built on one of the most popular and tactical betting markets: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Here’s how it went down — and what you can learn from it.
The Win That Had Everything
Placing their bet on July 21st, the punter carefully selected 15 soccer fixtures, all on the BTTS – Yes market. That means they predicted both teams in each match would score at least once.
At first glance, it looks risky. But here’s what made it brilliant:
- All selected matches involved teams with strong scoring and leaky defences — perfect for BTTS.
- Most of the kick-off times were staggered, allowing for some in-play breathing room and excitement.
- Several games were from lesser-known leagues, showing real football knowledge and research.
But the magic really happened late into the night.
Two Injury-Time Goals That Changed Everything
With only a couple of legs remaining, the bet was hanging by a thread.
- In Japan’s J3 League, Manato Hyakuda netted an equaliser in the 90+5th minute to save the Nara Club.
- Meanwhile in Poland’s I Liga,Patryk Szwedzik bagged an 87th-minute goal to make it 1–1 and keep the dream alive.
Those two goals didn’t just win games — they unlocked a 6,000/1 return on investment
How You Can Try This Too
While this win was extraordinary, it’s not out of reach. Here are 5 tips to help you build smarter multi-bets:
1. Stick to One Market
BTTS is one of the most consistent and exciting markets to build multi-bets with. It removes the stress of who wins and focuses purely on goals. Perfect for leagues with dodgy defending and decent strikers.
2. Research the Leagues
Don’t only bet on the big leagues. Lower-tier competitions like J3, I Liga, and obscure European leagues often have unpredictable and goal-heavy results. Less pressure, more value.
3. Don’t Go Too Big Too Soon
15 legs is huge — and not for beginners. Start with4 to 7 legs and build your confidence. The Multi-Bet Bonus still applies and increases with every leg added.
4. Mind the Kick-Off Times
Spread your games across different time slots so you’re not completely locked out. It also allows you to track the bet in stages and enjoy the thrill over time.
5. Always Bet Responsibly
Yes, this punter made R5.8k from R1 — but that’s not every day. Don’t chase wins. Bet what you can afford to lose, and focus on fun, not pressure.
Final Word: Anything Can Happen in Football
This win proves what we love most about football and betting — it’s unpredictable, thrilling, and sometimes downright unbelievable. Whether you’re betting big or small, every ticket holds a story. This one just happens to end in a payout worth 5,800x the stake!
