A lucky SkyBet online sports punter from Hampshire won twice in successive days, collecting two amazing five-fold accumulator bet wins.
The UK-based punter put £450 on a five-fold accumulator bet on: BATE Borisov (3/1); Apoel Tel Aviv (7/4); Debrecen (7/2); NK Maribor (2/1); Atktobe (11/4). He predicted three out of the five matches and he won a massive prize of £250,000.
The next day, the man put a £600 bet on another five-fold accumulator: Djurdardens (2/1); MTK Budapest (6/4); Kaiserslautern (13/2); Southend (10/3); FC Ergzebirge (8/13).
Again, his predictions were correct and the punter won another £250,000!
“Bookmakers are normally happy when a whole host of short-priced favourites lose, but this particular customer excels at lumping numerous outsiders together. His luck was in on Thursday as three of his selections were landed by late goals and we paid out GBP 250,000 and hoped that was the end of it,” said the Sky Bet’s senior football compiler Mike Triffitt.
“It’s incredible really; to win GBP 250 000 once is amazing – to do it on successive days is every punters’ dream,” he added.
The Sky Bet’s senior football compiler Mike Triffitt admitted this was not the first win for the UK-based punter. Earlier this month, the punter collected another impressive prize of £90,000, when he predicted a treble bet.
