So here in Kenya we recently got news of a bet win of KES 221,301,602 – (approximately USD $ 2.14 million). I heard this is the largest ever in Sub Saharan Africa. I can picture many things I can do with it 😀
So let us see how we can have a guaranteed way of winning this amount.
The bet rules are as follows. There are 17 soccer games to be played. Each game can have 3 outcomes: Home team wins, a Draw or Away team wins.
So the total number of potential outcomes is 3^17 or 129,140,163 (~ 1.29 E8)
Assuming it costs KES 100 to place a bet slip (one combination of the 17 games). The total amount for playing all the combinations then becomes KES 1.29 E10 (KES 12.9 billion)
So there you go folks. For an investment of KES 12.9 billion, you have very high chances of winning KES 221 million jackpot! Note I omitted SMS/data costs and labour costs to place the bets.
P.S: I don’t encourage betting as a means to get rich quickly. We have to make an honest living.
