Barcelona vs Bayern Munich

KTO honors Brazilian bettor who hit historic score of 8-2 in Champions League

While the world was amazed by Bayer's Munich's defeat of Barcelona already in the 31st minute of the first half, KTO recorded an unusual bet made by a player from Porto Alegre (capital city of Rio Grande do Sul state) with a risky 2X8 score. The odds at that time multiplied 96 times the stake. The author of the risky bet was Diego Delfino, 29 years old, and to celebrate his achievement, the company handed him a certificate with the printed bet ticket and an official sweatshirt of the brand.

I saw that the game was easy and I thought I could be witnessing a historic moment. So I went there and made my guess,” said Delfino, who even participated in radio shows commenting on his bet and where he was “asked” to predict the numbers of the Mega-Ssenna or when the vaccine against COVID-19 will be discovered.

And to immortalize this historic bet in an unforgettable game, KTO decided to honor Delfino. He received a certificate with the printed bet ticket and an official sweatshirt of the brand.

The delivery was made on Thursday. “I didn't expect this tribute. Very nice to have this recognition. I will certainly keep it with great affection,” he says, who made a point of posting a photo on social media wearing the gift and showing proof of his feat.

We consider the tribute for the singularity of the event and the bet to be fair. It is one of those days that we will all remember where we were,” said the country manager for the Brazilian KTO market, Cássio Filter, to Games Magazine Brasil.

The KTO group arrived in Brazil in the first half of 2019, supported by a strong partnership with Napoli. Among the main markets of this bookmaker with license in Curaçao are Finland, Germany, Austria, Poland and Norway. In Latin America, the company is also present in Peru.
