Pic: An Irish student had an incredible win on a six-horse accumulator bet recently

That's rent, a few nights out and part of the college fees paid for.

That’s rent, a few nights out and part of the college fees paid for.

We’ve all had that moment of despair when we look at our online betting account and realise that there’s not enough money in it to even buy a bag of Meanies.

64 cents might not be enough to buy you a bus ticket but it was enough for this student to win €4,143 over the weekend.

All six horses won and this betting slip might be the sweetest one that we’ve seen in a long time. Fair play to him.

Our best advice is this, if one of your friends in college happens to be suspiciously flush with cash then you should ask them for a fiver.
