I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.
- One bet365 player correctly predicted 5 out of 6 scores last weekend to win a £20,000 prize.
- The free-to-play 6 Scores Challenge returns this weekend with a £250,000 jackpot up for grabs.
- Games include Chelsea v Brentford and Spurs v West Ham, with 22 goals scored across last week’s featured fixtures.
There are few better feelings than winning big without staking a penny, and one bet365 customer did just that last weekend, walking away with £20,000 in the bookmaker’s free-to-play 6 Scores Challenge.
With 22 goals scored across the six selected FA Cup matches, the bar was high, but this particular punter came agonisingly close to the £250,000 jackpot by correctly predicting five out of six scorelines.
The jackpot rolled over, but the consolation prize was claimed in full.
With a fresh set of Premier League fixtures lined up this weekend the next shot at the £250k is here.
Last Week’s Winner Falls Just Short of Jackpot
While nobody took home the full quarter-million last weekend, one player came just one result away, nailing five out of six correct scores which was an impressive feat given the open nature of the FA Cup ties.
Thanks to the challenge’s consolation prize structure, that player still walked away with the entire £20,000 five-correct-score pot.
It’s moments like this that show the value of the format with no risk, all reward, and the opportunity to land big cash for simply making a few predictions.
What Is the bet365 6 Scores Challenge?
The 6 Scores Challenge is a free game from bet365 that asks players to correctly predict the final score of six selected football matches.
It’s open to all eligible account holders and costs nothing to enter.
Here’s what you could win:
| Correct Predictions | Prize |
|---|---|
| 2 | £2 Bet Credit |
| 3 | £5 Bet Credit |
| 4 | Share of £10,000 |
| 5 | Share of £20,000 |
| 6 | Share of up to £250,000 Jackpot |
The more scorelines you land, the bigger the potential reward, but even just two right earns you a free bet.
