750:1 Correct Score Wager Pays Out $7,500

Let’s be honest: when looking through the weekend’s soccer coupon, no one sits there and says, ‘This match has 4 - 4 written all over it.’ It is a cheeky wager that rarely pays off, hence the odds of 751.00 (750:1).

Of course, when it does, you’re bouncing around the room, as I’m certain this Stake.com player was last night.

Having wagered $10 on Chelsea vs Manchester City to end with a correct score of 4 - 4, he picked up $7,513.01 for being right on the money. Hats off to him for the outstanding prediction and having the conviction to bet on it.

Heading into this match, Chelsea won 4 - 1 against Spurs, and Man City thrashed Bournemouth 6 - 1, so maybe there were signs that this match had goals in it. Still, calling 4 - 4 is high risk.

Despite a few early chances, the match remained goalless midway through the first half. At this point, it wasn’t looking good for our bettor’s ticket. 

However, a 25th-minute penalty by City superstar Erling Haaland broke the deadlock. Within four minutes, the Blues were level when Thiago Silva slotted home. Former City player Sterling put Chelsea in front in the 37th minute, only for Akanji to level the score in additional time at the end of the first half.

With the score at 2 - 2 at half-time, the miracle bet was well and truly on. Haaland snatched his second of the match in the 47th minute, and Jackson again leveled the scores, making it 3 - 3 after 67 minutes.

The clock ticked down, and hope seemed to be fading. Then, Rodri struck in the 86th minute to make it 4 - 3. The final twist came when Chelsea were awarded a penalty deep into added-on time. Another former player, Cole Palmer, stepped up to take it. He smashed it into the back of the net to make it 4 - 4, and that’s how this Stake.com bettor won $7,500.

A feature of Stake’s sportsbook is that you can view every wager that is placed in real-time. This is a superb tool because it allows you to follow all the big-money bets. 

I use it as part of my research. For instance, if a customer has placed $50,000 on a particular match or player (in any sport), there must be a good reason. I then delve into this bet to see if it’s worth backing too.

Another option is to just use the ‘copy bet’ button. This inserts the wager directly into your bet slip, where you add your bet amount before confirming the wager.
