Small-stake accumulators placed on the weekend’s football action is generally a common thing for punters. It is not quite as common that beating the big accumulator odds actually happens. But one Paddy Power punter did manage to beat some massive odds, getting the better of odds of 5000/1 to land themselves a nice windfall.

The punter had played a nine-fold accumulator and with eight of the legs already having been completed, it was all down to Aston Villa to complete the job for them. But it wasn’t looking peachy for the Villains who were trailing 2-1 at home to Wigan on the weekend. But in the 55th minute, the Latics netted an own-goal to get Aston Villa back in the frame.

But things looked to be petering out to a draw as the game rolled into stoppage time. The punters bet looked as if it was going down the drain. But then Villa’s Birkir Bjarnason turned in a cross in the 94th minute to give the Villains a dramatic 3-2 victory to complete the bet. That late goal for the Villians returned the punter a £5,483 prize which certainly is not bad from a £1 stake.
