Eine Tippgemeinschaft, bestehend aus den Spielsüchtigen Martin Hildebrandt, Heiko Müller und Dustin Franke, hat mit ihrem allerletzten Tipp den Jackpot geknackt. Niemand holt den Gewinn ab.
Dustin Franke wird in seiner Wohnung erschossen. Heiko Müller wird ebenfalls leblos aufgefunden. Der Dritte im Bunde, Martin Hildebrandt, den die SOKO für den Mörder hält, meldet sich freiwillig bei der Polizei. Er fürchtet, das nächste Opfer zu sein.
Die Kommissare finden heraus, dass die Tippgemeinschaft bei Dr. Brombach in Therapie war. Er unterzog sie einer fragwürdigen Entwöhnung, zu der gehörte, dass sie noch einmal spielen sollten, den Tippschein allerdings nicht abgeben durften. An diese Vereinbarung haben sie sich augenscheinlich nicht gehalten. Die Ehefrauen Magdalena Franke und Nicole Müller haben ein Alibi, und Hildebrandt ist auch entlastet. Was wird da gespielt? Die SOKO rätselt. (Text: ZDF)
