As Mario Balotelli made his famous back heel this weekend, little did he know that a gambler in Sweden would salute his extravagant miss.

It helped him towards a win on a massive 15-fold at the odds 9,736.56, winning ?48,682 with just a ?5 stake with online bookmaker Expekt.com.

-      It is an amazing win and I guess Balotelli can expect some flowers, says Dan Vikman, Press Manager at Expekt.com.

The punter had betted on a draw in Manchester City’s friendly with LA Galaxy and the match ended 1-1 at full time, thanks to Balotelli and his much talked about back heel. The 20-year-old and former Inter forward was clear on goal but, instead of shooting, he dragged the ball back before back heeling it wide and was immediately substituted by City manager Robert Mancini.

The draw was one of 15 matches that the punter correctly chose with a mix of US PGA golf, baseball, tennis and Swedish league football.

-      The customer has gone on holiday and is over the moon. He has been a customer for a long time with Expekt.com and really deserves this win, you truly need so much luck to win on a bet like this, continues Dan Vikman of the online bookmakers.
