Punter turns $1 into $40,000 with absurd multi-bet

Talk about hitting the jackpot.

A plucky punter has managed to turn $1 into almost $40,000 with an astonishing 19-leg multi-bet.

The bet placed with Sportsbet was spread across rugby union, basketball and football matches.

The punter slapped down a solitary dollar on bets across Rugby Sevens, Super Rugby, Six Nations rugby, English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga and the NBA.

He somehow got them all correct and ended up walking away with $39,582.

“They made him work for it but this guy is an absolute superstar,” a Sportsbet spokesman said.

“Picking a multi in one code is hard enough, but to do it in three codes is a wonder effort.”
