It’s time to pack up and move to Chorley, Lancashire. A punter there with Betfred landed more than £13,500 with just a 25p football bet this weekend and the town has been dubbed the luckiest in the county. Why? Because the recent huge £186,000 Irish Lotto winner was from Chorley which was one of the biggest ever cash prizes won at Betfred on any lottery.
Anyway, Stephen Griffiths landed his nine-fold football win by beating odds of nearly 55,000-1 to win £13,599 in total. His accumulator came home after Sevilla landed a shock win over Real Madrid, that being the first time that Madrid had lost in 40 matches.
Apparently Griffiths got his tips from a pensioner who imparted some clearly valuable betting advice.
Griffiths, who is a Manchester United fan said: “This fella, I remember he was wearing a flat cap and had a walking stick, he took the time to talk to me about accumulators and how it’s best to put on a small stake and look out for drawn matches because they are the hardest to predict and therefore have the more attractive odds.
“This guy, who was in his 70s, really did give me great advice and if I see him again I will be giving him a backhander, I’m so grateful.”
“Ever since that chat with the pensioner five years ago I’ve been putting on a 25p accumulator every week on the World Coupon at Betfred. “I’ve stuck with it and it’s paid off brilliantly. “Last Sunday I was listening to the results coming in on the radio and being a United fan was hoping Everton would hammer City, which they did, of course. “I must admit I went to bed not knowing the results from Spain and a couple of games in Italy.
“I went into Betfred on Monday morning and realised all my nine games in the accumulator were right.
Betfred boss Fred Done, said: “This is what we’re all about…big winners from tiny stakes and I’ll tell you what, Stephen can borrow my United ticket for an Old Trafford game this season. I’m chuffed to bits for Stephen – and I hope he tracks down the old boy who gave him that little bit of inside knowledge. Stephen’s win is a tremendous achievement so big congratulations to a fellow red.”
