£100 on 6542/1 odds (won £650,000)
Predicting eight-match outcomes correctly is impressive, but predicting eight results while the games are already in play takes it to a whole new level. Even more so as the punter splashed £100 on teams that were already losing!
For this lucky Londoner, it certainly paid off, as he scooped the biggest accumulator win in the history of the sport.
The wager consisted of eight games which had just 20 minutes left to play, including a draw for West Ham (2-0 down to Stoke), Charlton to draw with Sheffield Wednesday (in a game they were losing) and the same for Coventry in their match against Leyton Orient.
Having predicted a draw between Fulham and Wigan, the latter went ahead with just eight minutes remaining and, with an extra man on the field, appeared likely to secure the victory - until Bryan Ruiz levelled from the spot with just two minutes to play to keep the hopeful punt alive.
After a number of twists and turns it appeared likely that Coventry City, 2-1 down against Leyton Orient, would be the only side to let him down - until Jim O’Brien struck in the 91st minute to confirm the draw and earn one ballsy better an unbelievable £650,000.
Not a bad return for just 20 nerve-wracking minutes and the biggest football accumulator win ever.
