ENGLAND v FRANCE - EURO 2004
ZINEDINE ZIDANE GOAL MINUTES
A shrewd punter at Sporting Index brought Zidane Goal Minutes before the England v France game at 11 for £50 per point. Meaning any goal that Zidane scored he would get 1pt for every minute of the goal time.
Unless you were on Mars, you would know that Zidane scored 2 goals - both in the 90th minute = 180 points.
So, in the 89th minute the punter was 11x £50 down = £550. Three minutes later he had 180 points in the bank!!
He ended up winning 180 - 11 = 169pts x £50 = £8450.
An incredible turnaround
!! It's also a stark indication of the volatility of spread betting- one minute you can be losing and the next you're winning quite handsomely!
