An international result from a slightly more exotic location than North West London triggered very high levels of excitement for some of our plucky clients. One client in particular had the divine inspiration to buy the Total Goal Minutes in the Venezuela v Bolivia match at 130 for £40. This World Cup qualifier, played at the delightfully named Estadio Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo stadium, was full of incident. The 2-2 scoreline at half time meant that the client could have closed out for a tidy profit, but he chose to let it ride and what a decision that was! The action was as vociferous as you would have expected any South American game to be, but our man had to wait until the 78th minute to land profit when Bolivia amazingly took the lead for the third time in the match. Then, disastrously for Bolivia, their goalkeeper got injured and with three subs already made and the left back now in goal, they conceded in the 82nd, 89th and 90th minutes to lose 5-3. Of course the result didn't matter to the client as much as the quite absurd 445 make-up which locked him in a colossal £12,600 profit.
