John Singleton, known for taking big risks and making bold moves, has placed a massive bet on the Penrith Panthers to triumph in the NRL Grand Final this weekend.
The seasoned punter has a lot riding on this game, with a cool $100,000 wagered on Ivan Cleary's team way back in March.
As the Panthers prepare to take on the Melbourne Storm in what promises to be a nail-biting showdown, Singleton is hoping his punt on the reigning champions will pay off handsomely.
With Penrith gunning for a historic fourth consecutive premiership, the pressure is on for them to deliver against the minor premier Storm, who are eager to reclaim the title they last held in 2020.
In the lead-up to the highly anticipated match, punters and fans alike are split on who will emerge victorious.
While the betting markets currently have the Storm as slight favorites, Singleton remains unwavering in his belief in the Panthers' ability to come out on top.
His bold move exemplifies the true spirit of Rugby League - taking calculated risks and backing your team no matter the odds.
Come Sunday, all eyes will be on the field as these two powerhouse teams collide in a battle for glory.
Singleton's bet adds an extra layer of excitement to an already electrifying Grand Final, highlighting the passion and thrill of Rugby League at its finest.
Here's to hoping his gamble pays off and the Panthers emerge triumphant in the ultimate test of skill, strategy, and heart.
