Huge 100.00 Nigeria Women Basketball Team Bet Wins

Despite losing star forward Bec Allen in their final warm up match, Team Australia were still expected to overcome Team Nigeria when these two teams faced off in their opening Group B match of the Women’s Olympic basketball competition.

However, one Stake.com customer had different ideas. He (or she) wagered $13.39 at a price of 100.00 (European decimal) on Team Nigeria to win the match by 11+ points.

Australia started spritely, scoring the first six points, but Nigeria fought back to lead 18 - 17 at the end of the 1st quarter. The Nigerians started to pull away at the end of the 2nd quarter. They scored the last 11 points without reply. This gave them a 41 - 28 lead at half-time, and suddenly, the 100 to 1 bet looked a real possibility.

Nigeria extended their lead to 15 points early in the 3rd quarter, but Australia weren’t done yet. They put their own scoring run together and the score was 51 - 47 to Nigeria at the end of the third.

A three-pointer by Alanaa Smith got Australia to within two points with only 6 minutes left on the clock. The bet was now slipping away. However, Nigeria answered back, scoring 24 points in the quarter. The final score was 75 - 62; a winning margin of 13 points. It was time to celebrate, both for Nigeria and the Stake customer, who won $1,338.52.
