Pic: An Irish punter is three games away from cashing in on an epic €5 accumulator worth over €45,000

Come on Arsenal. And Atletico Madrid. And Bournemouth.

Nobody is going to be more nervous watching the footie tonight than this guy.

For most gamblers, landing a massive accumulator is only a dream, but a punter in Galway is within touching distance of that dream and could be about to hit the bigtime tonight.

Daniel Ferns wandered into John Mulholland’s on Cross Street in Galway yesterday afternoon and waged a 15-leg accumulator with odds of well over 9,000/1 on matches taking place last night and tonight.

No doubt to his amazement, Daniel correctly predicted the result of all 12 of the games in the accumulator that were taking place last night, leaving him needing only three results to go his way this evening.

And the odds on that happening are decent too, with Arsenal and Atletico Madrid fancied to do the business over Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen respectively.

A Bournemouth victory over Nottingham Forest is the only other result Daniel needs and if all three come good, well, don’t be surprised to see a man running through Shop Street delirious with happiness at around 10pm tonight.

We’re rooting for you Daniel.

***UPDATE***

Sadly for Daniel it wasn’t a good night as Arsenal, Atletico and Bournemouth all lost their games. A great effort though.
