Boxing Day wasn’t kind to bookmakers as a stack of favourable results, particularly in the Premier League, gave punters some extra Christmas cheer. Each of the seven most popular selections in the Premier League all won on Boxing Day, including Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal.
Ladbrokes suffered as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Bolton, Rochdale and Manchester City all won, those being the eight most heavily backed teams on the Boxing Day coupon with the bookmaker. Among the lucky punters who came up trumps there was one punter who turned a £1 stake into nearly a couple of grand.

There was a bigger win off a £10 10-fold acca which returned £5,389.56 at the final whistle, with the being grateful for wins for Arsenal, Burnley, Chelsea, Everton, Man United, West Ham, Aston Villa, Wolves, Bolton and Millwall.
Another punter turned a £9 9-fold into a return of £4,730.33. So there were some hefty wins for punters and there was a dramatic cash out pulled by a punter as well on a 14-old acca. With 13 of the 14 selections winning, the punter cashed out the bet for £11,470.08 instead of trusting Plymouth to hold a lead against Wycombe in the final leg. It turns out that it was the right call, as Wycombe netted a late equaliser in the match, which would have caused the bet to tank.
