What a way to spend a Saturday night. There was a host of Word Cup qualifiers for Russia 2018 being played on Saturday with likes of Northern Ireland, Germany, England, Scotland and Poland all in action. One punter at Ladbrokes used the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers as the building blocks for an epic 16-fold football acca.
The incredible acca turned £5 into a cool £21,052 for the lucky punter and it was a win which didn’t come drama-free. A couple of the selections, Denmark and Slovenia won their games comfortably enough, but England needed a 92nd-minute equaliser against Scotland and Stuart Dallas netted a winner for Northern Ireland in their tussle with Azerbaijan in Baku in the 92 minute as well.
So those late goals kept the bet alive and then some Spanish domestic selections kept the punter’s dream alive with wins before the next round of international games kicked off. Germany, Slovakia, Montenegro and Poland all did their bit with relative ease, while the Draw on Norway v Czech Republic proved a safe selection.
So the punter needed Brazilian sides Palmeiras and Internacional both to win to round out the bet. Palmeiras had taken the lead in their game, but were pegged back to 1-1 before finding a winner. Then Internacional were involved in a goal fest and they were 3-2 up with just five minutes left on the clock which would have had the punter sweating. But they managed to find a late fourth to secure the huge windfall.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Predicting the results of 16 games during the close season makes this one of the most remarkable bets we’ve paid out all year.”
“Our punter’s heart must have very much been in their mouth when Leigh Griffiths gave Scotland the lead in the 90th minute. But Captain Kane was there to save the day for England and this customer, who still must be pinching themselves!”
