A better-to-be punter turned £20 into THOUSANDS with a spectacular bet covering the World Cup and two other sports
A confident sports fan took a chance, placing £20 on three big events, and walked away with over £20,000 in winnings!
This summer has been fantastic for sports lovers who enjoy watching the world’s top athletes from the comfort of their couch. Recently, there have been tennis and golf tournaments, big fight nights, and, of course, the World Cup happening across North America.
With so many exciting sporting events, fans have been busy creating wild accumulators, with mixed results. But one fan went all out with a huge ten-fold accumulator, called ‘The ultimate sports acca’ by SkyBet. They were so sure of their picks that they bet £20 on it.
First, the fan backed Spain to beat Belgium in the World Cup quarter-final on July 10. A last-minute goal by Mikel Merino saved the bet right at the start.
Next, they bet on several fights at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, picking winners in four matches. Their early pick was Damian Pinas, who won with a first-round knockout. Then, they backed Robert Whittaker to win his light-heavyweight debut against Nikita Krylov. Finally, they successfully picked Paddy Pimblett and Max Holloway to win the co-main and main events, both defeating their opponents.
With the World Cup and UFC bets secured, the accumulator moved to golf. The fan backed four players to finish in the top 20 at the Genesis Scottish Open: Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, Chris Gotterup, and England’s Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick.
The final piece was Rory McIlroy finishing in the top 10 at the Scottish Open, which sealed the deal. All ten picks came through, earning the fan a huge £21,303.99! That’s a profit of £21,283.99 and some serious bragging rights.
Reacting online, one person said, “That acca is pure chaos. Insane payout though.” Another wrote, “That acca is wild. Congrats to the guy who turned £20 into over £21k.” One more fan shared their frustration: “This has annoyed me because I would’ve backed all of these!”
