On September 11, 2019, Nahashon Maingi, a resident of Nairobi's Kayole estate, received a cheque for KSh 222,347 after correctly predicting the outcome of 24 matches.
Maingi's daring bet, placed on Odibets, earned him a staggering 924 odds, despite staking only KSh 300.
According to Maingi, an in-depth analysis of the matches helped him get them correct. He also revealed that he has previously won several bets before finally winning the huge payout.
"This is one of the best moments of my life. I studied the games and placed a huge bet which has paid off," Maingi said.
Maingi's win comes just weeks after another punter from Migori pocketed a whopping KSh 682,392 off a paltry KSh 100 stake.
