A football punter from Sheffield is celebrating after turning an £80 bet into a whopping £106,159.40 with a 25-fold accumulator wager at William Hill. The accumulator covered a range of European football markets, including the Premier League and La Liga. It included bets on Liverpool and Manchester City to win their matches, as well as a prediction of 1-6 goals in Real Madrid’s game against Sevilla.
The incredible bet, which included 22 winning selections, culminated in a huge payout. A William Hill spokesperson praised the achievement, saying, “Whenever a 25-fold accumulator comes off, it’s an amazing achievement, and this is definitely one of the most impressive wins we will see all season.”
This win serves as a reminder of the life-changing potential of accumulator bets, as seen in the case of Darren Yates, who turned a small bet into a £550,000 win back in 1996. He used his winnings to build a property and development empire, demonstrating the power of a successful accumulator bet.
