The clock marks 36 minutes of the first half and Botafogo fans light Nilton Santos on fire as they celebrate the 3-0 score against Palmeiras, in the 31st round of the Brasileirão 2023.
A spectacle for the fans to watch with pleasure: the ‘Fogão’ was intense and devastating in the first half, dominated the opponent, and guaranteed another 3 points at the top of the Brazilian championship. But everyone knows that there are things that only happen to Botafogo. Would anyone believe and even bet a little money on a 3x4 victory for visiting Palmeiras?
Twelve Betfair bettors believed in Palmeiras' victory exactly with the score of 4-3, but these were bets made before the game even started. However, the lucky one was a bettor, the only one on the bookmaker's entire platform, who believed in Verdão's heroic and historic turnaround and performed his feat live, while Palmeiras was still behind on the scoreboard by 3x0.
While losing 3x0, the odds of Palmeiras winning 3x4 was 100.0, that is, a profit of R$99 for each real bet, but an implicit probability of just 1% of this happening! Bettors have to have a lot of faith! This visionary fan decided to pay and see and, even before the ball rolled in the second half, he bet R$43 on the final score of 3x4 for the ‘Verdão’.
One disallowed goal, one expulsion, one missed penalty and three goals scored later, the turning point happened. And the fan, enveloped by Abel's spells, ended the night with a whopping R$4,300 in his pocket.
