It has ended in tears for sports betting merchants who had high hopes of making the most and cashing in on the UEFA Champions League 18-game slate that took place yesterday after things did not go according to plan.

Due to various underlying economic factors, many countries across the globe, including South Africa, have witnessed exponential growth in the sports betting industry as citizens continue to look for and find creative ways to make an income of sorts.

Last night’s UEFA Champions League fixture was a punter’s dream that quickly turned into a dreaded nightmare for some who had put all of their eggs in one basket, hoping for life-changing winnings. With all 36 teams scheduled to kick off at the same time, punters were drooling at the thought of this slate as they quickly devised the best way to get the most winnings out of this newly introduced format.

The day started out with palpable excitement as users took to their social media to reveal that they were more than ready for the big night. In true Mzansi fashion, jokes flew around as punters joked about all the exciting ways they would be spending their newly acquired fortune. Gambling company BETWAY even joined in on the fun with a meme letting all punters know that they are ready to handle all the mayhem headed their way.

However, things turned sour on the social media streets as the night progressed, as more and more punters began to reveal that things were not going according to their plans and expectations. These users hopped on their social media platforms to reveal that their betting slips were failing one by one. The joy and excitement they once possessed, had been replaced by utter disappointment, causing chaos on social media as they consoled each other.
