One very optimistic punter put a few quid down on Germany to beat Brazil by a scoreline of 7-1 and won $46,000 for his troubles. 

If, like the Man Cave, you've had a flutter on the World Cup so far, which has been full of surprises, then you've probably lost almost all the money in your betting account and might have been considering a few comedy bets that would net you thousands if they came through, just to make it all back. Certainly, that seems to be the case for one punter, who posted a snap of their betting slip after winning $46,000 (€33,794) on last night's match...having only put down $20. 

We find it hard to believe that whoever did this thought this had a realistic chance of coming through, given that the odds quoted were 2319/1, but if it's true then they're some sort of genius and clairvoyant and we need to know what they predict for the rest of the tournament.

The most impressive part, and what multiplied the odds even further, was that they guessed that Khedira would score too. We can only presume that he or she didn't show up for work this morning...
