Sky Bet payout £5000 to punter that lost
6th January, 2010
After it was revealed that the first ever player had won £100,000 on Sky Bets Soccer Saturday Super 6 competition, attention was also drawn to Mark McCann who lost out from the big £100,000 when he found out that Jonathan Kilpatrick had also predicted the 6 correct scores.
In order to decide who was to walk away with the cash, Sky Bet decided to look at the virtue of the ‘Golden Goal’. It was not McCann’s lucky day and his rivals prediction of the time of the first goal was more accurate, leaving McCann empty handed!
When McCann discovered that he had managed to guess all scores correctly but someone else would be taking the jackpot he explained, “I was absolutely gutted when I saw someone else had six correct scores. I knew the rules but when you get so close to winning a life-changing amount of money, its hard to take.”
However, despite McCann believing that he would be left emptied handed, award winning bookies Sky Bet proved their customer loyalty and have given McCann £5,000 as a ‘Hard Luck Bonus’. McCann expressed his delight saying, “This is brilliant news and I’m very grateful to Sky Bet.”
A spokesman from Sky Bet explained, “We couldn’t let Mark go away empty handed after such a great effort and hopefully, this will be some small consolation for being so close to the £100k prize.”
If you want to be in with a chance of getting your hands on £100,000 then why not visit Sky Bet today and enter their Soccer Saturday’s Super 6 competition. The weekly competition is free to enter so for no risk you could find yourself walking away with £100,000!
