Three Sky Bet customers were celebrating the midweek round of football betting action with massive wins of over £25k each on Wednesday night. The three punters had all placed bets on ‘both teams to score in both halves’ on the same trio of games – Celtic v Manchester City, Newcastle v Norwich and Coventry v AFC Wimbledon.
The thriller at Parkhead between Celtic and Manchester City was settled as early as the 55th minute of the game as the two played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the UEFA Champions League. Newcastle needed a little longer to get their second half fight back going from a position of 3-1 down against Norwich. They pulled one back in the 71st minute before going on to win 4-3 in dramatic fashion.
It was then a nail biter to the finish for the punters as Wimbledon were leading 2-1 at Coventry in stoppage time in their clash, Coventry having netted their first in the first half. But then Andre Wright delivered a late, late equaliser for the Sky Blues, to the sheer delight of the three Sky Bet punters.
Two of them placed a £5 bet to win £27.1k each while the other had a £10 bet to land £54.2k.
