A lucky / skilful punter has overcome staggering odds by correctly predicting 3 goals or more in 18 separate European football games spanning over a two week period. The now considerably wealthier individual placed a meager ten pounds on this unlikely bet and must have been on the edge of his seat while watching the final game of his accumulator between Austria Wien and AC Milan, which was effectively an all or nothing outcome for him. The finger of fortune continued to point in the right direction though and the game ended up being something of a goalfest (Austria Wien 1 – Milan 5). The list of all of the punters bets brings home just how unlikely this series of events was:
Man City 5 Liverpool 0
Leicester 1 Chelsea 2
Stoke 2 Man Utd 2
Everton 0 Spurs 3
Juventus 3 Chievo 0
Lazio 4 Milan 1
Barcelona 3 Juventus 0
Celtic 0 PSG 5
Chelsea 6 Qarabag 0
Man Utd 3 Basel 0
Feyenoord 0 Man City 4
Liverpool 2 Sevilla 2
Real Madrid 3 APOEL 0
Shakhtar 2 Napoli 1
Spurs 3 Dortmund 1
Bayern Munich 3 Anderlecht 0
Bologna 0 Napoli 3
Austria Wien 1 Milan 5
I place a fair few bets at sport.netbet.co.uk and this guy’s luck has spurred me on! As is to be expected, there were one or two close calls, including a 90th minute goal in the Bayern Munich match. It must have been real edge of your seat stuff for the lucky winner. In a further stroke of good luck (because clearly this person is in need of more luck!!), he decided to opt for an ‘odds boost’ feature and so instead of winning almost £60,000 his eventual winnings were £80,908. Talk about not being able to put a foot wrong. Someone is certainly smiling down upon this fellow!
