We’re pretty sure nobody has ever turned £5.70 (€6.65) into £12,257.27 (€14,296.71) quite like this before.
The lads at Paddy Power have just posted up details of a frankly crazy trio of accumulator bets that all landed for one gambler in the UK.
We honestly can’t believe that any one person is an expert in such diverse sports as tennis, baseball and the Belarus Premier League so this must be pure luck. That or they fell asleep on the keyboard and ended up with this punt.
Anyway, here’s the amazing collection of stuff that came in, across three different bets, with the relevant sports added to help you understand just how mad these bets are.
