A Kenyatta University student is in tears after Brazil superstar Neymar failed his 'sure' bet.
James Otieno, a die-hard fan of Samba Boys of Brazil was dead sure Neymar Jr was to score a goal against Switzerland.
My informer said Mr Otieno, a third-year student at Ruiru Campus, placed a 3 Comb bet with a nice stake of Sh2100. The bet slip was Neymar to score, scores to be over 1.5 goals and both teams to score, which was to earn him Sh45,300.
After the first 60 FIFA minutes, the result was so promising for Mr. Otieno, Philippe Coutinho scored screamer in the 20th minutes which was canceled out by another good header from Steven Zuber in the 50th minute. Making his goal-goal bet as well as over 1.5 goals correct.
"Tuko kwa hall wase tunaenjoy game msee zake ni pea Neymar ball, pass the ball, stop wasting Neymar. Kumbe msee alieka Neymar kufunga bila kujua hajarudisha form yake ya kiatambo," said David, Otieno's close friend.
Otieno who remained restless for the last 30 minutes of the game did not believe his eyes when Neymar's last efforts with a free kick yielded no fruits.
"When Neymar was taking the last free kick of the game he (Otieno) was still hoping for a goal. He was saying even CR7 (Ronaldo) scored against Spain from such like a free kick.
"He started crying after the final whistle because he had nothing left in his pocket, I had to buy him some milk for his supper," added David.
