Wow. Massive congratulations to Fred Crossman on winning £250,000 jackpot! Christmas came early this year! His friends, family members, and colleagues must be very happy for him. You only live once. Have fun, enjoy life, and feel alive!
Really noice, somehow I think these prizes are "more" easy to win then as you would guess the correct score from some normal lottery. The football scores he predicted don't seem that crazy, I mean you can apply them on any team combination. So I really wonder if he just has the same score combinations for every tourney, or did he really guessed them all?? I don't know.. anyway, great win and I am happy for the man!

You are saying its not easy, im considering it very difficult. Six games with correct score is something unreal for me. Its like hitting the lotto One, maybe two yes. But that many, im not betting them neither for fun

you know what it really looks easy when i'm reading his prediction, all of them seem more or less in tune with the expectations in these matches with one exception 2-2 watford vs bournemouth, not saying it's a miracle scoreline but one a bit harder to pick. but in reality try to guess 3 correct scorelines, heck even one! the moment i place a bet the money is out of my pocket it seems.

Not even trying the correct score in betting. It pays good but with the win /loss ratio im getting, its a sure loss at the end I cant even get a parlay with wins only with that many games. He was extremely lucky, no doubt about that.

I do this game every week and have come close a few times but it's great to see and hear of someone actually getting it right. It will be interesting to see if anyone gets it right this weekend with some of the results that came along today, but hey who knows. The possible is always possible....probably.

well i do not follow damosk's case and do not try my luck at this game every week, to be honest i didn't try my hand at this game at all, but i did try my luck at similar stuff back in my native north korea, and i must say i was wayyyy off in my combos, so i had to settle for en route of growing pigs to become rich rather than trying to predict correct scorelines for 7-8 teams in one go.
