There was a remarkable payout to a Sky Bet customer on the weekend through some football betting. They landed over £60,000 after cashing out a losing bet. The punter had an eight fold accumulator running at odds of over 200,000/1 on Match Result & Both Teams To Score selections from the Premier League and the Sky bet EFL.
The first seven legs all came up including Arsenal’s dramatic injury time winner against Southampton in the English top flight. However, the punter wasn’t prepared to run all the way with his compete bet, the final leg of which was the evening kick off in the Championship between Derby and Newcastle.
Instead of letting the bet run, the fan, who is a Newcastle supporter, decided to cash out his bet for £64,155 before the kick off in that one at the iPro Stadium. What perhaps put the punter off was that Newcastle were on a three match clean-sheet winning streak heading into that one. It was a smart move as Newcastle won 2-0 and that would have left the punter empty handed.
