Woman strikes lucky betting on Champions League football
{{date|September 24, 2007}}

A woman found herself £226,000 richer, one the biggest ever payouts to a female client, after placing a series of bets on last weeks [[w:Champions League|Champions League]] games, despite knowing nothing about football.

Kathrin Rotmann, 33, placed a £1,000 bet based on her tactics of supporting "teams that are strong and winning".

"I am delighted. I only ever bet on football — last year I won £35,000 with one bet. I just keep a track of those teams which are playing well and bet on them. It was very exciting when the results went my way."

She was delighted when she saw her bet multiply in front of her eyes, when  her 226-1 odds of wins for Arsenal, Man United, Rangers, Slavia Prague, Barcelona, Roma, Fenerbahce and PSV come in on television.

The exact amount won was £226,834.36.
