The Melbourne Cup may be over for another year, but punters are still winning big with us here at Ladbrokes!
Football has always been one of our most popular betting events and 1000s of punters every weekend place multi bets on a wide range of games from right around the world, but they don’t often win as big as this punter, who was able to turn $400 into $68,480 on Sunday morning.
This punter was thinking a long way ahead when he placed this multi last Monday before Tottenham took on Aston Villa in a Tuesday morning fixture and he got off to a winning start when the Spurs saluted at a quote of $1.40.
He then had a long wait on his hands before Newcastle took on Bournemouth on Saturday night, but he went into the later fixtures still alive in his multi after Newcastle scored an upset win away from home against Bournemouth at a price of $3.30.
This wily punter had two legs in action simultaneously in the early hours on Sunday morning – West Ham and Everton to finish as a draw at $3.40 and Leicester to beat Watford at $1.75.
Leicester were unable to score in the first half, but two early second-half goals were enough to give them a win, while both West Ham and Everton scored a goal apiece in what was a fairly dull draw.
The EPL was not enough to completely hold this punters attention and for one game he turned his attention to the Serie A in Italy after backing Sassuolo to beat Capri at $1.73.
It would not have been an easy watch for our punter, but he got another leg home when Nicola Sansone scored in the first half to deliver the high-flying Sassuolo another win and send him just one win away from a massive win.
He arguably took his biggest risk in the final leg of his multi as he backed Stoke to beat defending English Premier League champions Chelsea at a quote of $3.60.
Most punters thought that this would surely be the game where Chelsea returned to winning form, but to the delight of our punter – and the dismay of Jose Mourinho – a Marko Arnautovic goal in the second half was enough to deliver Stoke the win and our punter a massive victory of $68,490!
Incredibly, this was not the only big win for this punter as he had a number of smaller multi’s featuring the same combinations of games that saw win another $6,886.55 in what would have to go down as the biggest weekend of his life!
