    That image was posted on facebook last night, before yesterdays games had even finished. Still could be fake but guess that gives it more substance.

    I on the flipside had a tenner on Milan - 7 times European champions at home against a team without their coach priced at 8-1. Stupidest ****ing odds ever.

    Wish Id had the balls to have £50.

    It seems that bet's real, Coral have been tweeting and talking about it tonight, as has the lad who had it, you'd be gutted really.

    On the betting front, Gedo is 9/1 to score first on Saturday - Paddy Power again.

    888bet & bluesquare are both offering 11/2 that Bo Myhill scores first, I think I'm going to leave that one alone!

    It's a correct score coupon you get odds based on how many games you pick not the specific games

    With those odds he could have laid it off for decent money. I'm not believing it.

    Exactly. Plus if anyone thanks a bookie would honour that bet they're idiots.

    It was a free bet competition Coral were running. They have since applauded his effort and offered to take him and a friend to the 2nd leg at Neu Camp. Stop being so pessimistic :)

    Don't want to start an Italian football/Milan argument but that's so irrelevant it's unreal.

    Coral are taking him and a mate to the reverse leg in Barcelona, not too bad for a 1p bet I suppose

    The point remains he could've put £10k on about 15 different score forecasts (150k layout) and guaranteed a massive win.

    It's utter bollocks. Every single one is 100/1.

    I put a bet on Bayern 3-1 Arsenal - it was 9/1. So unless Coral are just that generous with their odds...

    I've just checked the guy's Twitter page, and he posted the picture on the 10th. Apparently it was a promotional bet where 8 correct score predictions would get you £1m, regardless of individual match odds.

    Fair play to them. Can't blame anyone for calling bullshit what with the whole 100/1 thing.
