One result stopped punter earning more than £55,000 from £20 accumulator, he's 'officially quit'

We've probably all been there with having a go at a football accumulator - but one fan has 'officially quit' from gambling after one result stopped him winning a mega payout.

A set of 14 results has emerged online that a punter put bets on with bet365 on an accumulator.

For those who are unfamiliar with what an accumulator is, it's very simple - basically, you place bets on any number of football matches you want with the end result of each game and place a stake on them.

The more games you include in the accumulator, and the more of them which you get right, the greater potential winnings you'll get - though crucially, all the game end results must come true.

Most of the results eventually came true - with Liverpool needing a very late winner from Darwin Nunez to overcome Nottingham Forest, and Spurs coming from a goal down to beat Crystal Palace.

Other results in the Championship which the football fan got right is Southampton beating Birmingham City in a 4-3 thriller, Norwich City picking up three points against Sunderland, Ipswich Town beating Plymouth Argyle and Sheffield Wednesday coming out on top of a Yorkshire derby on the road against Rotherham United.

However, there was one result which did not come off for the punter was one which you probably would have not expected.

Relegation-threatened QPR stunned Championship leaders Leicester City to a 2-1 loss at the King Power Stadium to inflict the third successive defeat on the Foxes, who are aiming to seal an immediate return to the Premier League after suffering relegation last season.

Ilias Chair and Sinclair Armstrong gave the London side the lead, and Ben Nelson halved the deficit to give Leicester hope but it ultimately proved to just be consolation.

Leicester were big odds-on favourites to win the clash, having been 4/11 to pick up three points, showing how big the upset was.

Over the 14 games across the Premier League and EFL, the punter betted £20 for all the results to turn out correctly.

And they have taken to the social media platform to say they 'officially quit from gambling' after it emerged they missed out on winning a total of £55,707.60.
