Australian Stephen Bradbury became Olympic short track speed skating champion in 2002 under highly unusual circumstances.
First, he reached the semi-finals, when one of the quarter-finalists was disqualified. Then he reached the final because three of the semi-finalists had been disqualified.
Amazingly, in the final, Bradbury came in last, but the other four competitors fell, and he won the first gold medal for Australia at the Winter Olympics.
It’s the kind of luck that only a few people have in sport. The luckier ones are those who like to bet on sports at 1xBet.
Such was the case with a player named Akin, who won over a million dollars at the end of April 2022 by wagering on two “system” bets. And now, in July, he’s won over $100,000 on a seven-event “accumulator”.
Of course, Akin could afford to take a risk when betting the considerable amount – more than $1,000. But the total odds on the bet were over 100 – you have to admit, that’s not the kind of bet you win every day.
Moreover, the minimum odds in the accumulator was 1.540. And so it’s worth talking about both the player’s luck and skill.
Here is the full list of the events he selected:

“I choose 1xBet because of its reliability, fast payouts, and pleasant odds. I usually do accumulator bets and believe more in luck than logic,” stated Akin after his first big winnings. As you can see, his spirit and tactics are paying off.
Since the 2002 Olympics, “doing a Bradbury”, which means “to triumph unexpectedly, especially due to luck,” has emerged in Australian English. Now, it’s possible that “doing an Akin”, which means “winning a lot of money from a bookie”, will soon find its way into English and other languages worldwide.
Be like Akin – believe in your dreams and don’t wait for others to fall, but win with 1xBet!
