The drinks are on Carew after €170,000 bet comes up

August 25, 2014

Nice one Niall.

Ex-Waterford senior football manager Niall Carew owes Kerry sub Kieran O'Leary a pint after his levelling score in yesterday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final helped him land a whopping €170,000 gamble.

Carew has been revealed as the lucky punter whose two bets, a €5 accumulator and a €3 Lucky 15, relieved Boylesports of the hefty sum.

The two bets were made up of the same selections, Ribbons in the 3.10 Deauville at 10/1, Ansgar in the 4.15 at Goodwood at 10/1, Kalann in the 5.10 at the Curragh at 16/1 and Kerry v Mayo to finish in a draw at 8/1, totalling to odds of 18,512/1 for the accumulator alone.

Kalann's win at the Curragh saw the intuitive Carew - who recently stood down as Deise manager after two years - turn a €50 bet into a staggering €170,000.
