Lucky Football Punter

Big accumulators rarely come in or else the bookies would go bust. Every so often, you do get a big winner. I do occasionally have an 10 team Asian Handicap accumulator at Bet365. Its not come in yet. Here’s a different accumulator from Sportingbet that came in.
From a tiny €1 stake one of their German clients managed to accumulate just under €100,000 for his efforts.
This plucky punter placed a 4 selection Double Result accumulator bet all at fancy prices on Wednesday night’s football.
Here’s how he did it…
€1 Accumulator
Villarreal/Draw @ 18/1 – WINNER
Celtic/Draw @18/1 – WINNER
Fiorentina/Draw @14/1 – WINNER
Onto Botafogo RJ/Draw @ 16/1 – WINNER
The near six-figure payout hit Sportingbet hard and as their PR Executive Chris Graham explains the last leg was the real killer,
“After the Champions League matches on Wednesday we knew we were in trouble with this bet as the punter had 3 out of 4 up. It all rested on the Botafogo v Estudiantes match in the wee small hours and while it’s not a game I would have any interest in following a bunch of us stayed up and watched the full horror unfold. The trading room was like a morgue this morning”
