Coral Fotball Millionaire tonight?

[Seagulltonian]

Given his stake was basically £35,000 it's not quite the story some are making it out to be! (though obviously still impressive)

I'm sure if he's betting that sort of amount, he will be sitting in front of a tele, with a computer close by, to lay it off at the earliest possible oppotunity tonight!

No definitely not. A big bet on a Brighton win at the best odds available, would make a lot more sense.

They would be a FOOL not to cover this bet with another £35k(or more) on Brighton to win. You could then just sit back in complete comfort.

What a position to be in.

It's Collosus Bets who have the ticket and laid out £34992, bet Corals are searching for a way not to pay out the million

If you were in his position, and Corals offered to pay him £100,000 now to settle the bet, would you take the £100k cash now or gamble for the £1m tonight?

I'd just lump a load on Brighton to win.

They'd better buy us Messi, a bit sharpish.

I've been playing the Coral football millionaire for a pound since it started and this weekend has been the closest I've come. Predicted eight out of nine on Saturday (needed Blackburn to win at Blackpool but it was a draw). Yesterday I got Celtic, Sunderland, Tottenham and a draw in Charlton v Wigan, with Swansea and a draw between Chelsea v Man City letting me down. I put a draw for Brighton v Watford tonight.

The most I've got before this weekend was 9 out of 15. It's bloody difficult. Corals haven't thought this through with this multiple selection stuff. I hope Collosus group lose their money SO much tonight.

I hope Corals don't pay Colossusbets out, you greedy b@stards.

You've expoited the system, big time.

Can someone explain how Colossus Bets work? Is it like a syndicate?

I understand they placed 34,992 lines at £1, but how did they go about it?

It's a bet , an accumulator where you can cash out and take a part of your winnings.

bit confused on this, so is that another company basically betting punters money with the bookies to cover their losses? And presumably making money on it?

Edit - wow, they take 30%

What is the Colossus Bets takeout per pool?
A The takeout per pool is 30%, which means that from each £2 stake, £1.40 goes towards the relevant prize funds in a pool and 60p is deducted in operating costs by Colossus Bets.

It's foul play and it stinks. I've edited my post a bit as they've cheated the system in my eyes.

I don't see how, coral allow you make more than one prediction per match, if they wanted to stop it they could by making you do nearly 35 thousand single lines so they obviously want to attract syndicates

Surely a nightmare for Corals PR dept too!

 

[Ernest]

They've now ruined this bet as why bother playing if people can hoover it up like that ? Bet Corals are sick

In comparison Tote jackpot takes out 29% and scoop6 30%

Collosus bets is a failure and the Corals millionaire is a failure, I bet Corals are seething tonight as they won't hoover up the mugs having a quid on it (like me) anymore now you know the syndicates are filling their boots

Syndicates of school dinnerladies or warehouse workers doing 50 hours a week? I doubt it somehow.

More like unpleasant, underworld gangsters out to make easy money.

You won't see the syndicates playing it now the million guarantee has gone and basically you won't see anyone else now either

Corals 'Millionaire' is a poor value bet for the small punter. Ladbrokes 'Millionaire' coupon is far better as you can bank your winnings in segments.
