Some superb punting, Sportsbet’s Multi Builder and a little bit of help from Mother Nature helped one punter turn $50 into more than $96,000.
RT from Melbourne had an 18-leg multi on US sports – NBA, NHL and NFL – and despite a couple of close calls, won $96,497.88.
RT got a big break when a snowstorm postponed the Portland Trail Blazers home game against the Detroit Pistons. RT’s selection was Portland, but the game was voided from the Multi. The Pistons later won the makeup game.
