One punter has hit the headlines this week after he wins £157,866 from a 60p sixteen-team bet with help from a 92nd minute winner.
The Ladbrokes customer correctly guessed the outcome of every Premier League and Championship match on Saturday with there being just one draw out of all the results – the points was shared between Cardiff and Birmingham, something which the gambler predicted.
There was also a late comeback from Burnley at Watford as well as a last-minute Wilfried Zaha winner for Crystal Palace at Southampton to thank.
The gambler just needed Manchester City to beat Leeds, which they did comfortably with a 4-0 victory at Elland Road.
Other Premier League wins for the punter included Liverpool’s win at Newcastle, Brighton coming out on top with a victory over Wolves and Aston Villa’s beating Norwich – which relegated Dean Smith’s side.
In the Championship, the customer put money on for Preston, Bournemouth, Bristol City, Huddersfield, Millwall, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, West Brom wins which all came through.
The person even took a punt on Wayne Rooney’s already relegated Derby County and the Rams won away at Blackpool.
Ladbrokes PR manager Alex Apati said of the win: “Our punter has played an absolute blinder here, correctly predicting the outcome of all 16 games in the top two tiers of English football on Saturday.”
“What makes the acca even more impressive is that there was just one draw across all sixteen games, and our customer managed to pick it out; truly remarkable stuff and we’re delighted for them.”
