Colossus Bets’ £1 Million HDA15 Punters Hits £500K Guaranteed Prize Pool

Colossus Bets, the only online sports betting facility that offers lottery-sized jackpot pools for betting on the  correct score or correct outcome on weekly football matches, has validated the news that some of its £1,000,000 Home/Draw/Away (HDA)15 punters, won the £500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Since there were 2.5 tickets bought for the correct picks, the full-ticket holders received £200,000 as return for their £2 wager, while those who played a 0.1 unit ticket for 20 pence received £20,000.

The lucky punters have the chance to win the £500,000 HDA15 bonus prize, as they automatically get a free pick for guessing the correct outcome of the match between Barnsley and Bradford on Sunday (Oct. 12, 2014). The lucky winner or winners who make the correct pick will take home all or a share of the additional £500,000 bonus prize.

Colossus Bets’ £1,000,000 HDA15 is only on its 8th week and the jackpot constitutes a £500,000 guaranteed pool prize and a £500,000 bonus. Both of which are allocated based on the number of winning tickets. Although the default stake is £2 per line, players can opt to purchase a fraction of the stake at a minimum amount of 20 pence.

Actually, Colossus Bet offers a number of betting pools that players can place stakes on by betting either on the correct score or on the correct outcome of sporting events. The largest of which is the £10,000,000 Colossus Bets Pick 7, which in fact is also the world’s biggest prize pool for a multi-leg weekly betting for football matches, comprising a £5,000,000 regular jackpot pool and another £5,000,000 as bonus prize, as well as £5,000 in consolation prizes. A player who places bets for 7=exact score plays will have the chance to win a share of the colossal prize pool and the bonus jackpot. After all the correct scores for the week’s featured matches have been completed, the holders of all tickets bearing the seven winning scores will be rewarded accordingly.

During the week and as the matches for the weekly pool prize are underway, the cash in option whether in full or fraction will be available to the holders of live tickets.

Last week’s winning ticket holders though, did not cash-in their entire winnings but instead banked at least 50 percent of the cash-in value for the remaining leg of the weekly 15-leg pool. Otherwise, if the winners opted to cash-in the entire amount won, they will no longer be entitled to receive any winnings in the same proportion as their original ticket, if in case their live bet wins in the remaining leg of the 15-leg game play.

Currently the company behind the betting site is developing other multi-million pound Colossal Bet games for the National Football League, the Australian Football League, the Australian Rugby League, and the National Basketball Association as well as for horse and greyhound racing events. The betting games are included among the offerings of Colossus Bet’s business-to-business (B2B) partners Sportsbet, Betfair, Boylesports and BETDAQ,
