The Sydney Roosters have completely ruined every multibet in Australia after they went down to the Canberra Raiders overnight in the Harbour City.
In a close 20-24 contest, the green boys came from behind to secure a clutch win against the Roosters, who were left wondering where everything went wrong as the full-time bell sounded.
As that bell sounded, every single multibet in the nation was ruined.
Including every bet in Canberra.
Canberra is known locally here in the Diamantina Shire has the smartest place in the country. The cream of the crop moves to our capital to work and live. It’s the Cambridge, Massachusettes of the southern hemisphere.
So they know not to bet against a winner, which on the night was clearly going to be Sydney.
Marcus Rodney is one of those Canberra fans who betted against the green machine last night and is now licking his gambling wounds.
“Well, that’s $10 down the drain,” he said.
“Fancy the Roosters going down to the Raiders. This year is getting to be too much, stop the train. I want to get off,”
“It’s absolutely absurd.”
More to come.
