Every week, we bring you the 1.01 gubbings on Betfair, as players and teams complete Lazarus-style comebacks or simply take advantage of chokes of monstrous proportions as their opponents struggle to cross the finishing line.
Auf Wiedersehen, Mainz
1.01 backers were left bruised and battered after a dramatic comeback in Germany's 2. Bundesliga, as Kaiserslauten overturned a 3-0 first half deficit against Mainz 05.
The match began in cagey fashion, before the floodgates opened in the 27th minute for Mainz 05, who promptly bagged three unanswered goals before half-time. The second half seemed a mere formality, but the match turned on its head as Kaiserslauten earned a penalty in the 48th minute, which was expertly slotted home by Laurentin Reghecampf.
A result still seemed unlikely for Kaiserslauten, but Erik Jendresen scored a brace with goals in the 71st and 72nd minute. For a brief period, Kaiserslauten backers at prices of 700+ on Betfair were licking their lips in anticipation of a bumper payout, but to no avail.
