Arsenal win sees punter claim bet of the season after incredible four-fold

Arsenal's 2-1 win over Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday saw two punters win incredible amounts of money from four-fold bets.

There were a total of four games in the Premier League on Sunday, with every single one ending 2-1.

Brighton, Fulham and Manchester United recorded victories over Nottingham Forest, Spurs and Crystal Palace respectively in the 2pm kick-offs, before Arsenal saw off Chelsea in the premier fixture of the weekend

After William Saliba's opener was cancelled out by an own goal by Piero Hincapie, Jurrien Timber headed home a third goal from a corner in the same game to regain Arsenal's five-point lead on Manchester City at the top of the table.

The Gunners held on for a huge victory against 10-man Chelsea. And while the victory was celebrated by Arsenal fans, on social media it emerged that two people profited in an enormous way after each placed a £10 bet which came in.

On X, Stephen Power, who goes by the @racingblogger shared a winning four-fold accumulator on the bet365 mobile app.

The cash-out came in at £5,623 if the punter couldn't handle their neves but sticking through it brought an incredible £73,000 from a tenner.

However that wasn't the only winning bet. Another punter had the exact same idea and put on the same four-fold with Coral.

The bet was identical apart from some different odds for the outcomes. And that proved crucial as the total winnings were £46,240 - £30,000 less than what the Bet365 customer claimed.

The winners of the aforementioned bets have not yet been disclosed but Bet365 have issued a comment on the win.

Bet365 sports and trading expert Steve Freeth said: "Every so often, we experience weekends that cost us fortunes and this was one of them! It proved to be a brilliant couple of days for punters with a number of favourites landing on Saturday, capped off by a late narrow win for Man City in the 5.30pm kick-off.

“bet365 customers ended the weekend in style with many letting the 7,310/1 2-1 correct score four-fold ride, while we also saw some use the bet365 cashout option to secure a tidy profit during the Arsenal versus Chelsea match, after prior 2-1 wins for Fulham, Manchester United and Brighton on Sunday.”
