One of the Fortebet punters had a very blissful weekend after winning a great UGX 20 million, thanks to the good odds. Moist interestingly, this lucky punter only selected strictly 7 games from only three leagues from only Africa, including Azam Uganda Premier league. Were his predictions so special? No! They weren’t.
This special punter opted to go for only over 2.5 (match number of goals of at least three) and it happened as he wanted it to. So, which games did he go for? Well, below we give all the seven matches; Satif-Hussein Dey (ended 1-2) and MC Alger-Bel Abbes (ended 1-2) from Algeria League one, Club Africain-Metlaoui (ended 5-1) , Bizertin-Sfaxien (ended 2-1) and AS Gabesen-Ben Guaderne (ended 0-3)from Tunisia premier league. He too selected games from Uganda Premier League; Vipers-KCCA (ended 3-2) and Police FC-Onduparaka (ended 0-5).
This betting slip had a skyrocketing odd of 401.22 and generated 20,061,000 Uganda shillings. As Fortebet always does, this win was paid out instantly. Congratulations.
The games during the last midweek were not so attractive but the ForteBet punter with the nickname Shivani can say that it was the great week! Shivani has created very long and colorful betting slip from the soccer competitions from all around the World.
He has chosen league competitions, cup competitions and amateur competitions as well for example from Australia, Egypt, Czech Republic, England, Austria, Germany, Singapore and many more.
Shivani tried to guess the wins of home or away teams and three times over 0.5 goals. Shivani was lucky because the most of these games were ended with the difference of the one goal. The punter bet only 3.000 UGX and he won the fantastic winning of 31.695.942 UGX! Congratulations!

“We have decided to give you these gifts because we love and value you. Fortebet would not be Uganda’s biggest and best betting company if it were not you. This is the reason we must say to you-thank you,” Nanyumba said to the customers at Mbale main branch before the gifts were given out.

Ntinda football youngsters were treated to full excitement when Fortebet, the Sports betting company with certainly the largest branch network in Uganda and the highest betting odds ambushed and gave then new brand footballs.
Like it has been doing, Fortebet gave out brand new footballs to the under privileged children in Ntinda on Wednesday. The balls handover was done at Watoto Church play ground to kids that were found playing a very bad ball.
Fortebet Media Manager, John Nanyumba said that, “Today, these are the lucky kids to get our balls. We are giving them balls to help them achieve their dreams of being great football stars in Uganda and even beyond. The kids don’t need to look for us. It is us that we shall look for them wherever they are and give them the balls.” He added that, “We have a lot in stock in terms of sports items. We just need to locate where such kids are and we shall reach and support them,” Nanyumba said.

Isma Kyazze, on behalf of his fellow kids thanked Fortebet for extending to them a helping hand. “We have never played a new ball. This is the first time we are playing it. We are extremely happy for this gift and may God bless Fortebet,” Kyazze said.
Apart from extending a helping hand to the kids, Fortebet supports the Uganda Premier League and is always involved in a number of CSR activities and of recent, the company is giving back a number of gifts to its clients across its branches by way of appreciating them.
What a great way to start a new week with a Fortebet win of 50 million Ugandan shillings! It was just like any other betting slip that Fortebet punter with the nickname Freeto222 selected and luckily fetched him what may be a dream of his life.
Was his betting slip so special? No, because he selected the normal games-with most being selected from soccer matches. Freeto222 selected a total of 30 games, with soccer taking up the biggest share of 21 matches that were selected from around the world.
This is what made his slip a bite different; on top of the 21 matches, he ventured into ice hockey and tennis. He selected 5 ice hockey matches from NHL Playoffs and 4 tennis games – 3 from ladies tournament in Bogota and 1 from men´s tournament in Houston.
With this slip, Freeto222 did not only show that he’s a real expert in all kind of sports but a revelation that you can also win from such other games other than soccer.
Freeto222’s soccer matches were selected from China, Australia, Switzerland, South America and all four Europa League quarter-finals. In these Europa League games he predicted the win for either Sporting or Atletico Madrid (the match ended 1-0 for Sporting), a home win or draw in the game Marseille – Leipzig (it ended 5-2 for Marseille), over 1.5 goals in the game Salzburg – Lazio (it ended 4-2 for Salzburg) and that Arsenal would score at CSKA Moscow (ended 2-2). Guess what, Freeto222 guessed all the results, unders and overs right. With a stake of only Uganda shillings 60.000, this punter celebrated a fantastic win of 50 million UGX! Congratulations!

Punters (clients) in Ntinda over the weekend appreciated Fortebet for giving back to them, something they said had never happened in the betting industry in Uganda. Like it has done before, even last weekend Fortebet reached out to Ntinda punters and gave them a number of gifts that included European team jerseys, Fortebet T-shirts, caps and wristbands.

The highly emotional gifts’ handover was done inside the branch on Saturday by Fortebet media manager, John Nanyumba, shortly before most of the weekend games started. A record 60 punters walked home at least with any of the above gifts. Abas.K, one of the gifts’ winners said, “I knew you were going to come here because I read it from your Facebook page.

However, i didn’t expect to win a T-shirt because i thought there are so many procedures of getting it or a competition. I am extremely happy because this gift has compensated the 10 million that I lost yesterday just because of one team that was beaten at home. But next time I know I will win, like i have done before.” Another punter who took a jersey (Justus M) said that, “I have been using Fortebet at my betting company. But now that it has even given me a gift, I will never ever stop betting with you (Fortebet)”.

“Today, we have just done what we always do-appreciating our good customers. Once we promise that we shall visit a given branch, we do it,” said Nanyumba just after the handover. He added that Fortebet will, this coming weekend, give out gifts to its Mbale town customers.
Work in Mbarara town got paralysed as Fortebet showered over 200 customers with the usual gifts that it gives out by way of saying-‘Thank you’.
6 customers at Aloisi branch took T-shirts
All customers that were found in all the three Fortebet centres which include; Ru Complex, Mbarara Main and Mbarara Alois got various gifts ranging from company wristbands, caps, T-shirts and team jerseys of the top European teams.

“Like we have done in other areas, we have come here to say thank you to you for choosing Fortebet. On top of thanking you, Fortebet has also brought you rewards for everyone” John Nanyumba, Fortebet Media manager said while speaking to the punters at Mbarara main branch before the gifts’ handover. He added, “We are not asking questions nor conducting a draw. Your only password to getting any of the gifts is just showing your betting slip.”
On top of the above gifts, Fortebet also gave away footballs to young stars. The brand-new Fortebet-branded balls were given out to at Kakyeka Stadium and Mbarara high school playground.

Nanyumba further noted that, “This exercise is not ending here. We have reached so many branches and we are going to reach all our branches countrywide. Even for the branches we have reached, we shall keep on coming back. All you need to do is checking our facebook page to know which branch shall get the gifts in the following weekend.”

Customers at Fortebet’s centres of Kavule-Salaama road and Kibuye swam into lots of goodies that were given out over the weekend. The gifts, like it has been on most of Fortebet branches, were in a way of thanking the clients for having chosen this betting company and not the others.
The handover was done by the company media manager, John Nanyumba at the two centres located just a stone-throw from Kibuye Kobil fuel station.
Many customers were found at the centre and tens of them walked home with a number of gifts like original team jerseys for top teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspurs, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool, caps, T-shirts, pens, wristbands-all branded with Fortebet.

“Today we are here to demonstrate that we are not only Uganda’s best betting company that offers the highest odds but also the only one that gives back to its customers and Ugandans at large,” said Nanyumba, while addressing the customers at Kavule-Salaama road just before the gifts were handed over to the respective recipients. He added, “All of you are winners today, as long as you placed a bet, especially of 2000/= and above. Just sow us your receipt-whether hard copy or online and we give you your gift instantly.”
six customers won themselves jerseys for clubs; Manchester United, Manchester, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Tottenham hotspurs original jerseys after placing bets of 50.000/= and above, in addition to wristbands and pens. Six other customers scooped a T-shirt each while five more customers got a cap each and other gifts. All the other customers, as long as they had placed bets with 2000/= and above, took different prizes as mentioned above.
“We are moving from branch to branch. For those that have already won, congratulations and for the branches we haven’t reached, just stay alert by constantly checking our facebook page to know which branch shall get the gifts in the following weekend,” Nanyumba promised.
At the same time, Fortebet also donated balls to Kids that play near Kibuye market a brand new ball. “We do this because one of our goals here is to promote the growth and development of sports talents. We have given out many and still giving out more,” noted Nanyumba.
What a way to enter this long Easter holiday with a none-loan 37 million. Just like many other winners, cash from Fortebet continued to flow to another customer (punter) after staking only 8000/= and winning a whooping 37,689,340/=. Most interestingly, this lucky punter selected 20 games and they all won. His winning trick was only one-selecting as many home wins as possible. Below is how he selected the winning games;
On his betting slip, he selected a total of 10 games, confident that the home teams would win. These matches included; Palmeras SP-Novorizontino and Chapecoense-Hercilio Luz (from Brasil), Opova-Usit Nad Labem (from Zchec Republic), Wolfsburg-Slavia Prague (UEFA women’s Champions League).
Under the same category, he also matches from under 21 Euro qualifiers and these included; Georgia-Faroe Islands, Hungary Cyprus, Denmark-Bosinia & Her and Ireland-Macedonia. To make his 10 games under this category, he too selected these matches; Peterhead-Annan from Scotland league 2 and New York RB-Minesota from USA MLS. All the above home teams won their games.
He now needed more 10 teams to make his betting ticket complete. He therefore went ahead to select home wins plus at least two match goals. These matches included; Bahia-Altos (from Brasil), Hvidovre-Kolding IF (Denmark second division), Portsmouth-Oxford (English League 1), Coventry-Grimsby (English League 2), Tranmere-Eastleigh (English National Luague), Manchester City-Linkopings (Women Champions League) and Columbus-DC United from USA MLS. He too selected 2 more teams and predicted that they would either win at home or afford a draw as the worst. These included; Bohemans-Gray (Ireland Premier Division) and Perlamo-Carpi (Italian Serie B). Leyton Orient-Working from English National League is the other match the punter saw will earn him money. He predicted that the match would end with atleast 2 goals and indeed it ended 3-0. This betting slip carried a total odd of 5,542.55, generating the above money. As soon as he won, his money was instantly paid out to him as Fortebet usually does
Work almost came to a standstill in Lira town as Fortebet flooded its customers with great gifts over the weekend. The gifts were given out in all the four Fortebet branches which include Lira Main, Lira Dillane House, Lira and Lira Teso Centre.
