Research helps Masatu bet TSh500 and win TSh20,419,211.15

Masatu Irumba pointed to being a “football fanatic” and “intensive research” after winning TSh20,419,211.15 from a TSh500 bet.

The Arusha resident’s initial winnings of TSh8,877,700.50 were increased to TSh20,419,211.15 (before tax) by a 130% win bonus for betting on 24 legs. betPawa offer the best win bonus in Tanzania for all bets with three legs or more, including 250% for 30 legs.

Masatu said: “I can’t even explain it right now. I was too excited. I called Roma (his friend who introduced him to betPawa) at first but he didn’t pick up. Then I decided to call my young brother and told him that I won. He made me laugh a lot because he couldn’t sleep the entire night.”

“I have life plans: buying more land, developing my small businesses. Also I want to finish building and constructing my village houses,” he added.

The wood businessman also discussed his approach. “Before placing a bet, I normally do my research. I don’t rush. I always do my intensive research. And I’m a football fanatic,” he explained.

His advice for other players was “one should believe you may sleep poorly and wake up a rich person”, noting that “as soon as the matches ended, my winnings were topped up in my betting account”.
