One punter stands to collect $72,000 if the Black Caps win the Cricket World Cup final.
Thousands of Kiwis are backing the Black Caps, and the TAB says the Cricket World Cup final will attract more money in bets than any other event so far this year.
For the semifinal against India, the TAB took in $1.4 million worth of bets, "the largest turnover from a single event this year", spokesman Mark Stafford said.
About $600,000 was paid out to those who backed the Kiwis then, and Stafford predicted tonight would be even bigger.
"We are expecting at least the same amount of bets as the semifinal, and are thinking if the Black Caps take it away, we could be looking at paying out about $1m."
