A LUCKY gambler has won £189,000 from a £10 accumulator after correctly backing both teams to score in 18 matches.
The punter incredibly saw his near 19,000/1 shot come off in a dramatic, rollercoaster ride of a day.
A lucky punter won £189k off a £10 acca full of drama
In one game, in Belarus, the match between Gorodeja and Belshina was poised at 0-0 in the 95th minute – with the customer’s betting slip seemingly in tatters.
But somehow both teams found the net before the final whistle to pocket him the monster winnings.
In his final match of the slip, the Italian Serie C promotion play-off match between Carrarese and Bari, the gambler once again got lucky.
With the score at 1-0 to Bari, Carrarese somehow scored a 90th-minute equaliser to seal the deal.
West Ham’s big win over Watford and West Brom’s loss at Huddersfield – which saw Leeds promoted – were also on the betslip.
The punter was then able to collect his winnings from Ladbrokes and get his celebration started.
After the 18-fold acca came in, a spokesperson for the betting company said they’ve never seen anything like it.
