The thing about this 495/1 super bet is that it didn’t even look that hard to predict. Sigh.
Trying to get a football or GAA accumulator to land is beyond most of us. It’s beyond us anyway. So hats off to this multi-sport genius, who managed to predict nine winners, across seven different sports and take a very tasty £23,000 (€26,700) from Paddy Power this week.
The bet, which covered everything from the Lions Tour, the NHL, the NBA, snooker, tennis and a bit of football, finally paid out when England won the Ashes this week.
You can see the full bet below and you’ll note that none of the punts look that risky now. That it looks so simple just makes us feel worse.
