Arsenal Betting Mistake Makes Nandi Man Sh423,693 Richer with Odibets

While most mistakes in life prove costly, that was not the case for one Julius Kipkemboi, who hails from Kipkaren catchment, Nandi County.

Kipkemboi, predicted 19 games correctly on Odibets to win Ksh 423,693 with only Ksh 49, a victory propelled by a mistake he accidentally committed while placing his bet.

He had initially planned to bet on an Arsenal win as they played Watford on Sunday, however, his luck struck as he mistakenly picked Arsenal women, who were playing against Manchester United in the FA Women’s Super League, with the former winning.

Had Kipkemboi placed Arsenal men, he would have lost the bet as the Gunners were held by Watford after a shambolic defensive display. This was one of the games that cost many punters their bets.

“I picked my betting strategy from my father who’s been betting on sports for over 40 years,” said the elated 37-year-old who is a hotelier.

Kipkemboi spoke in the presence of his father, who accompanied his son as he collected his dues from the betting firm.

“So many leagues are back after the International Break and our customers will be spoilt for choice on the offers they can enjoy from Odibets whether it’s the EPL, Champions League, or Serie A,” stated Daniel Macharia, Odibets lead bookmaker. 

Mr Macharia added, “We have a 10% boost on wins which boosts our customers’ wins – in Kipkemboi’s case, his boost was around Ksh 40,000.

Odibets is one of the fastests betting websites in Kenya offering boosted odds, 100’s of markets and thousands of live betting events.

Soccer Star Dennis Oliech has dismissed his Gor Mahia contract termination letter insisting that he is still a Gor Mahia player.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with the Nation Sports, Oliech revealed that the main reason for not attending training is because of an injury he has been nursing on his fractured hand suffered at the end of last season.

Gor Mahia while terminating his contract stated that he had committed a gross misconduct, among them being not attending training and that the team was not aware of his whereabouts.

“These stories you have been hearing are all lies and the truth of the matter is that I have never recovered from the injury on my hand that fractured, the bandage was just removed two weeks ago.The team manager has only called me twice contrary to what is being said and even if I didn’t pick he could have texted me. I trained with Gor Mahia twice after they returned from Burundi and after advice from the doctor I had to stay away, the team manager knows that,” said Oliech as quoted by the Nation.

He insisted that he is still a Gor Mahia player and blamed the club for not being patient with him as he recovers from his injury.

He further alluded the termination of his contract to reports that he intends to vie for the vacant Kibra parliamentary seat in the looming by elections and revealed that the issue is being used to victimise him for being at the fore front in agitating for players’ rights concerning the salaries and other issues of mismanagement at the club.
