Beginners luck or just pure genius?
One very astute punter has managed to turn $10 into $4108.32 in a ten leg Champions League wager – the first ever bet that he has placed with Ladbrokes!
The action started on Wednesday morning.
Our punter took his biggest risk when he backed the draw at $3.75 in the PSG Arsenal clash and that bet saluted thanks to an Alexis Sanchez equaliser in the 77th minute.
He took another big risk when he backed the draw in the Benfica Besiktas fixture also at the big price of $3.75.
Franco Cervi scored in the 12th minute to give Benfica the lead and they looked as though they were going to hang on for the win, but a 93th minute equaliser from Anderson Talisca claimed a point for Besiktas and kept our punter alive.
It was far smoother sailing with Barcelona ($1.10), Napoli ($2.38), Bayern Munich ($1.09) and Athletic Madrid to take our punter into the second day of his best with just four legs left for a massive victory.
The Leicester City fairytale continue with their win over Club Brugge and our rookie punter was the big beneficiary at a juicy quote of $2.40, while Borussia Dortmund ($1.35) never looked in trouble against Legia Warsaw.
Manchester City ($1.40) were dominant against Borussia Monchengladbach in their rescheduled fixture to get our punter to within one leg of a massive victory.
It looked as though it was going to be a case of so close yet so far for our punter with less than three minutes left in the Sporting Lisbon Real Madrid fixture, with the Portugese side on the verge of an upset win.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave our punter a chance with his outstanding free kick in the 89th minute before an extremely late Alvarto Morata goal scored Real Madrid the three points and delivered our punter an incredible $4108.32!
