As per my ongoing intention with the channel to give something back, I am improving my prize draw offering. Introducing “The Gentleman’s Big One!” – this is a longer term idea with the intention of giving away an enormous prize. It probably won’t happen immediately, but I hope in time to offer a truly huge prize. This page explains how it works, and what you need to do to ensure you are in the draw. It will be run in addition to the other current prize draws.
How does it work and what is the prize?
There will be one prize each week. It will be a 50% share of the return from the Gentleman’s Big One – which is my weekly football bet. The bet will be shown in a video each week prior to the matches kicking off. If the bet wins, the prize will be upwards of £2,000. If the bet loses, the equal share will be zero and no winner will be drawn.
I have been placing football bets for many years now, and over this time I’ve seen the expected ups and downs of sports betting. There have been some huge wins, some consistent winning spells, and more losing bets than I care to remember. I don’t think I’ve beaten the bookies, but I’ve given a good account of myself. This new prize draw will be an extention of my football betting. Each week I will post my bet in the video and on X (Twitter), so you’ll see in advance what we are looking for. It’ll typically be a correct score double, and I’ll be picking games where I think there’s a good chance of goals. Results such as 3-2 come with decent odds, and combining two of these into a winning double would result in a colossal pay day, even with my stake of roughly £10.
How to enter The Gent’s Big One?
To be included in this draw, you must have previously joined a casino via a link on my website. There is no entry form here, anyone who is currently active as either a new player, or an existing player will automatically be eligible. For the purposes of validating an entry, “currently active” is defined as:
- A new casino sign up in either the current calendar month, or in the previous calendar month

Example:
- A winning bet is placed in mid December, with the bet being settled on 15th December. Anyone who met the criteria for a new customer prize draw entry, or existing player prize draw entry between 1st November and kick off on 15th December would be eligible.

As I have said in the original prize draws, please do not play just to enter my draws, only enter if you were going to play anyway.
The Gentleman’s Big One – Example bet
Here is my first bet, for a couple of Premier League matches taking place on 1st December 2024.
As you can see, the odds are long and the potential return is huge. Of course this is a seriously long shot, but I reckon over the course of a year I’ve got something like a 10/1 chance of hitting one of these.
